Oct. 21st, 2008 01:23 pmGood: McCain supporters confront racists at rally, tell them they're not welcome. (WARNING: Link autoplays video)
Bad: ... and are forbidden to talk to the press by the campaign afterwards.

Bonus: Because she *can't* get medical care, she's using a hillbilly splint for her fractured leg and HOPING it's going to heal correctly.
Extra bonus: Same hospital, a few days earlier, another man showed up with chest pain, waited 19 hours, and then died of cardiac arrest. Without being seen by doctors.
Super mega bonus: The commenters are all doom and gloom about how thankful they are that they don't have socialised medicine, because, you know, more funding for hospitals in total, much lower cost per patient, and people having the ability to see a doctor for preventative care rather than waiting and needing emergency care are all BAD things. Really.
