So the Republicans will continue to beat themselves up. Let's see, how can we distract from our own mess and somehow dump some stuff onto Obama?

Oh. This is how. Medved is a political operative masquerading as an 'unbiased' talk show host.

I'm pretty sure Michael has never claimed to be unbiased. Your bringing it up as some kind of fact sinks your own argument. But wait, your post didn't really make an argument countering Michaael's point. So how can we distract from the actual argument put forth? Attack the messenger and not the message.

Of course he is! This is precisely how Republican's seed and spread their message. Medved is on the first line of dispersal for the daily propaganda.

There's no 'argument' to be had. Who knows what Medved himself even thinks anymore? Maybe he believes what he says or maybe he's just delivering Karl's message. The fact that this sometimes gets confused with 'journalism' is what is shameful.

(And where were these Catholics -- and Medved -- when the Pope condemned the Iraq War? Now Republicans will persecute their next victims -- women. You guys are absolutely brilliant. Can't someone find a girlfriend for Karl?)

Religious Liberty is in no way being violated.The Church has every right to say NO.You fail to include that in your comments. Gee I wonder why?

Per liberal editorial writer E.J. Dionne, Jr.: "(The Obama Administration) exempted churches from the rule, but not Catholic universities or social-service agencies and hospitals that help tens of thousands of non-Catholics."

In other words, religiously-founded, funded, and operated organizations will be forced under Obamacare to pay for services that they and many of their donors find morally offensive.

Sorry if you can't see how that violates the religious liberty of organizations such as Sisters of Providence hospitals, Notre Dame University, your neighborhood parochial school, et al.

Do you believe that Quakers should be required to pay the portion of their taxes that provides for a Military?Everyone has individual beliefs things that they find" morally offensive".The question is do they have the right to opt out of those things? If I'm an employee of that religious organization why can't I decide if I want birth control?

Nobody is stopping anybody from getting birth control. Where do you get that from? If you want it, you can buy it.

Your Quaker argument is invalid. They can't simply go out and buy their own national protection.

Except one word they are 'unashamedly' antichoice. The Obama administration and the left are so miopic that they are blind to their own bigotry. They think it's impossible for them to be in the wrong to violate our liberty and they will deny it and redefine it to the undoing of the constitution. By forcing Government Heath Care they now believe they have a right to dictate what private charities and churches do. They simply call out "haters" by attributing hate to motivations of the believers they justify their actions.. The foot is in the door and the log is in their eye.

"Hey there, government- we don't operate a business, we run a church! This is the church of The Ancient Profits, don't you know? Pay minimum wage? Sorry, but that's against our religion. Contribute to workman's comp and disability insurance for our industrial workers? Sorry, but once again that is against our religion. Pay taxes on our income? No way. It's true that we can afford to pay our Right Reverend Pastor C. Eyo $1-million per month, but we're a non-profit organization and exempt from taxes of any type. Time and a half for overtime? Sorry, but our religion requires than anything over 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week is considered time voluntarily donated to the church.

Glad to hear you would force an organization founded and run by nuns to provide birth control.

Apparently not, as even before the compromise endoresed by the Council of Bishops, they weren't forced to provide anything. It says that any health insurance program must provide birth control free of charge. Don't like it? Too bad....you don't pay taxes, contribute absolutely nothing to the betterment of our society, and shelter child rapists. You are below the rest of us, and you live in our society. Welcome to the 21st century...myself and my generation are loving the fact that you are dying off and we are in charge now.

No they weren't "gay" they were pedophiles. Has a cow about birth control.

Then praised them. The democrat party.

I learn something knew everyday. Thanks Billy boy.
