Find Play entire program - advance to counter at 1:21:25 - Ed is the caller from the state of Louisiana – it was live at 9:21 a.m. Eastern Time.
Ed said, "about the health care issue: uh, it don't make no sense - the slave class does not deserve health care; I mean, uh, you look back over the years, all the way back to when the blacks were the slaves - I mean they don't deserve health care - what kind of sense does that make; uh...anybody will tell you that death is a poor man's doctor...uh--uh, why give the slave class health care? let them work 'til they get too old to work and then let 'em die - don't give 'em health care, that don't make no sense - that's the way it's always worked.
I don't know about you, but letting that pass unremarked is just stunning. Perhaps a note to the Washington Journal is in order here.
