1. This article makes no sense at all.
Jake   (08.19.09)
The article is deliberately biased to make it look like the anti-Obama woman was shouting 'Heil Hitler' at a Jew as a racist epithet. The truth is buried at the bottom of the article, where it becomes clear that the woman was a supporter of Israel and was merely comparing Obama with Hitler.
2. Shocking
Meir Moses   (08.19.09)
What a disgraceful act by these people and that woman. They have no shame.
3. In the US at present, if you are chronically sick
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (08.19.09)
the Insurance Co would pull the plug on you and you will have to pay thousands out, go bankrupt, and 9 times out of ten die. So, even though I am not an Obama fan - who is the Nazi? The health care system in Israel, may not be 100% perfect but compared to the US system its 200% better.
4. #1: What else could it have been?
Joshua ,   Pittsburgh, PA USA   (08.19.09)
Apparently, this debate is making strange bedfellows (Commie LaRouchies and fascistic Teabaggers/Birthers). Are you to tell me that the woman who shouted "Heil Hitler" didn't understand what she was saying? Of COURSE she understood. Either that or her hatred of Obama has blinded her not just to the absolute failure of the American system, but also the successes of the Israeli system.
5. I hate Obama but the Israeli man is right
Carrie ,   NYC   (08.19.09)
Our healthcare system is strictly for profit, they don't care if people die or go bankrupt. Every procedure costs thousands of dollars. The whole healthcare system is corrupt. These people hate Obama so much they can't even even think logically. The Israeli-American man was making a lot of sense but some people are too crazy to see that Obama may be right on this one policy. These idiots remind me very much of the people with Bush Derangement Syndrome.
6. Healthcare "reform"
Brent ,   Lawrence, US   (08.19.09)
There is no question that there are problems with the delivery of healthcare here in the US. However, we, the majority, are staunchly opposed to any system that would hand control of our healthcare decisions over to any government agency. Are we happy with our insurance companies? Surprisingly on the whole, yes. Are there examples of egregious behavior by some companies? Yes. But they are the exception not the norm. In fact, the example cited by #3 is a bit inaccurate. Under the laws of the various states of the United States, if you have health insurance and are chronically sick, as long as it is a covered expense the insurance company is obligated to pay. What is the maximum amount they will pay? Sometimes there are sub-limits, but most policies give the policy holder up to $1 million of coverage. Further, they cannot "pull the plug" on you while you are on claim. That is expressly forbidden by law. Further, the problems with our healthcare system is because of the governments and certain other non-market entities interfering. We have de facto price controls which limit the supply of healthcare and correspondingly drive demand up. We don't want more of the same. Sorry. I certainly hope your healthcare in Israel is good, but your are absolutely wrong to claim that the US system is the worst in the world. I would award that to places like Cuba, Russia, China, or any Muslim state in the world.
7. Remember the left's BusHitler signs?
Ilan ,   Ariel   (08.19.09)
I guess the concept of turnaround is fair play also works in the US.
8. That means Obama is doing the right thing
(08.19.09)
every time you see these sick scums barking and shouting that means Obama is doing the right thing.
9. No. 1 | Obama as Hitler
Stan ,   Jerusalem   (08.19.09)
No 1, she was "merely" comparing Obama & Hitler!? How is that any better? Comparing the US president or his plans to Nazis trivializes the Holocaust. End of story.
10. My humble opinion
David Israel ,   New York USA   (08.19.09)
Currently my company (a major US company) provides my health insurance. They pay the premioums and I contribute a small portion. I have very good coverage that includes eye care and dental for $48.00 a month from my pocket. What I want to know is: If there is the public plan what would be the incentive to my company to pay for my coverage? In the first readon to cut cost health insurance would be the first item to be cut and I would fall into the public plan becoming a burdon to the nation. I belive the solution is to provide health care only to those who cannot afford via a wellfare type program and let all others either pay for their own or their employers pay all or most of it as it is now. And of course make legislation to lower malpractise insurance costs and cheaper prescription drugs.
11. Explanation
Ron ,   LA, USA   (08.19.09)
First, Us system is much, much better. Remember you pay 60% of your visit to a hospital to lawyers. This must be changed. In Israel you pay almost nothing. As to Hitler, in 1933 many Jews, all that serve in WWII supported Hitler against communists. NY Times supported Hitler's reforms untill 1938. Last septermber NY Times compared Hitler's and Obama stimulas and said they are identical
12. O'Hitler photos are planted by Democrats
Sue ,   Los Angeles   (08.19.09)
The Democrats are losing the argument for their universal health care plan. All they have left is to brand all the protesters as "racists." See the name LaRouche at the bottom of the poster? Former presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche is a Democrat and an anti-Semite. Here in L.A., his far, far-left cultists are frequently on college campuses and in front of post offices passing out anti-Israel propaganda. LaRouche is a former Marxist, who is actually in favor of a single-payer health system. LaRouche is helping pass Obamacare by planting his Hitler photos at the town hall meetings and making the protesters (most are concerned senior citizens) look like racist nuts. Unfortunately, the Jewish senior citizen in the IDF shirt didn't realize that she was falling right into the Democrats' trap with her inappropriate comment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_LaRouche
13. the author of this article is full of poop
truth   (08.19.09)
There is no antisemitism toward Obama supporters. That is a bold faced lie. The fact is that the debate is heated and ObamaCare is "Universally" unpopular in the US. Americans don't want it and he is trying to ram it down our throats. The man appears to aspire to be a dictator not a democratic president. Americans do not want rationed care or our parents and grandparents told that maybe they should just die because they are old and too expensive to keep living. That in Nazi like. No one said Holocaustlike, they said Nazilike! That is the truth...the author might like to try the truth sometime...
14. @#1 - this is a stupid article, find some real news ynet...
leah ,   beersheva, israel   (08.19.09)
15.  US: Woman yells, "Heil Hilter"
Steph Poole ,   Greensboro, USA   (08.19.09)
So glad the libs never did anything like that to president Bush during his administration! Oh, wait a minute...they did, but they used vulgararity too. Sorry, public memory short, media bias long. Ynet sux for reporting this idiocracy.
16. Lady was a plant for Liberals
Shira ,   NY B"H YERUSHALAYIM   (08.19.09)
I have lived (unfortunately) long enough in this country to be able to tell that this woman is a phony and she is planted by the liberals, only liberals look like she does, hippie like and only liberals act like her. As for the Israeli who was complaining, all I have to say is, Motek, you are right, that is why you should move back home to Israel. What in the hell are you doing in America? Yes Israel is all that and more, that's why it's better than America and that is why you should go back...Socialized health care is not for a capitalist country like America. Obama and his friends are trying to make this country into something it's not!
17. #12: Nobody likes LaRouche, not even his mother
Joshua ,   Pittsburgh, PA USA   (08.19.09)
18. Was the lady in IDF shirt really a protester?
Sue ,   Los Angeles   (08.19.09)
On second thought, maybe she is a LaRouche member pretending to be a protester/Zionist Jew (see my #12 comment on LaRouche's anti-Semitism and hatred of Israel). The Democrats and their allies (LaRouche is a Democrat) want to make all the protesters look like racists (i.e. if you can't win on the message, demonize the messengers). The Democrat Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi started this 2 weeks ago when she stated that she had seen a Nazi sign at a health care meeting. Then suddenly, all these Hitler photos started to appear. It wouldn't surprise me if the Democrats coordinated with the LaRouche people to give Barney Frank a great photo-op in front of the Hitler picture and looking "concerned." It is all staged.
19. #13: You aren't paying attention
Joshua ,   Pittsburgh, PA USA   (08.19.09)
Nate Silver at 538.com says that when the plan is more properly explained (vs. gut emotions), support skyrockets. Unless you provide me with evidence that your poll is any better, I'm gonna have to call it BS. BTW, can any Israeli in here tell me how the Israeli system is compared to the US? All I hear is "ugly American" rhetoric in here.
20. to # 4
Marty ,   US of A   (08.19.09)
Joshua Good thing you don't lower yourself to the level of those "Commie LaRouchies and fascistic Teabaggers/Birthers" HYPOCRITE!!!
21. #18...you are correct
Steph ,   Greensboro, USA   (08.19.09)
For more info on how to do this little trick, simply read "Rule for Radicals" by Saul Alinsky (Obama's bible).
22. Obama and Nazis
George Washington ,   America   (08.19.09)
Obama and his administration have done nothing to tie them in with a Nazi image. After all, the National Socialists in Germany first nationalized the auto industry, then the banks and then health care... Umm, well,.... hmmmm
23. The chickens coming home to roost
Thomas ,   USA   (08.19.09)
The blind and rabid Jewish support for Obama is dully noted by Americans. To call tax protesters as "fascists" is disgusting: Americans are NOT Fascist! All the hated Obama legislation are the brainchildren of the ruling Bolshevik Jews an get ready to the eventual outburst of Antisemitism. You never learn, you did the same in Eastern Europe and Russia as well under Stalin and you can see the "love" people feel towards you. The entire coterie of Obama consists of Leftist Jews and they will be the scapegoat when things turn sour for you.
24. It is extremely important,...
(08.19.09)
25. It is extremely important to note...
Gideon Reader   (08.19.09)
...that the female in question is a leftist supporter of and member of Lyndon Larouche's faction of the ***Democrat Party***; (as is cleary visible at the bottom of her poster, rather than a member of the Republican Party or any decernable "rightist" faction. In other words leftists devouring each other.
26. poster
Marty ,   US of A   (08.19.09)
so, if you look at the Obama/Hitler poster it has "thepeoplecube.com" at the bottom. Check it out and see who really is behind the posters.
27. #25 is correct
Marty ,   US of A   (08.19.09)
this poster in particular was larouche, wacko by any normal one's opinion
28. #20: Glad to see you're doing that yourself
Joshua ,   Pittsburgh, PA USA   (08.20.09)
BTW, still waiting for an Israeli to answer my question regarding the Israeli system.
29. #26 Source of the Poster?
David ,   Los Angeles   (08.19.09)
thepeoplescube.com is a website with items denouncing Obama as a communist, a Nazi etc etc.
30. american jews are a shame!!!!
mira ,   israel   (08.20.09)
