FiredogLake.com has posted hard to find video from last week’s AFL-CIO convention, where AFSCME President Gerald McEntee led the crowd in a derogatory chant about Max Baucus’s Senate Finance Committee bill. Firedoglake reports that the video had originally been posted on YouTube, then removed.
The video shows McEntee saying:
“The Senate Finance Committee is getting ready to debate a health care bill. That bill does not meet the test of this resolution.
As a matter of fact, it doesn’t even come close. And it does not meet President Obma’s standards either. There is no employer mandate, no public option, no help for retirees. The finance committee bill imposes substantial costs on the states, weakens state insurance regulation and taxes our health plan.
(audience starts to boo)
That’s right here…boo, boo come on. It’s all bullshit. Come on, what’s the word?
It’s bullshit!”
