| Website Attacks Gardner For Two Hip Surgeries He Didn't Have |
| 2014-08-08 |
| [FREEBEACON] The Colorado Independent falsely reported on Thursday that Republican Rep. Cory Gardner (Colo.) had two hip surgeries by the age of 37, claiming that his medical history undermines his position against Obamacare ... aka the Affordable Care Act, an ineptly designed and worse executed piece of legislation designed to bring 17 percent of the U.S. economy under the direct control of the government. The previous iteration, known as Hillarycare, was laughed out of Washington. This stinker was passed on a party-line vote without being read... The Colorado Independent news hound confused Rep. Gardner, who is challenging Democratic incumbent Sen. Mark Udall this fall, with Rep. Diana DeGette (D., Colo.), who is 57. The story has since been removed. Mike Littwin, the "fair and unbalanced" columnist for the Independent, tweeted out the story, saying, "Gardner and the pre-existing condition: Hip surgeries complicate charged health-policy cancellation story," with a link to the post. Littwin later apologized for the story, which was written by another writer, John Tomasic. "Embarrassing. Egg on face," Littwin tweeted. "The Gardner statement on hip surgery was actually DeGette. The Independent really regrets the error." |

| #4 An extreme left, moronic, fucking stupid DICK. I like it, but it's a bit redundant. The new term is.... 'insignificant' with an knobby, arthritic finger wag. True elitist always wag a finger. |

| #3 Littwin is a DICK. An extreme left, moronic, fucking stupid DICK. I;ve met him. And it took all I could muster to keep from punching him quire in the face after about 5 minutes of his self-important smarter-than-you (but dumb as a rock) elitism. If you ever meet him, save yourself the time -simply spit on him right away, and walk off. |
