It won't matter to you if those 'tricks' have been used by Republicans in the past with no fanfare, because that doesn't matter to those media pundits you admire.
Your pundits have told you, around the clock, and nearly every day since the bill passed, how fraudulent they think it is. If not fraudulent, then at least unconstitutional. Hannity, et al, will point to the dozen or so states whose Republican governors have started lawsuits challenging the bill's constitutionality.
No matter that most legal experts (even Republican ones) say the suits have no real merit, talking it up as a federal power-play against states rights pushes the right-wing buttons on freedom-loving survivalist militias everywhere. Hey-Ho, Hutaree! And if you are an O'Reilly fan, most likely your buttons got a tickling too.
Well, OK, and interesting play there, ladies and gents of the conservative press, and purse-lipped sore losers across the nation (suit-happy governors most definitely included). Let the story play out.
Will calling Health Care a fraud and unconstitutional 100 times an hour, 24/7, make people believe it so? Will touting a legal revolt in a minority of states outweigh the resolute acceptance of the majority? If Fox can make it so, it will.
Call It Till You Stall It ... from the folks who claim to be 'fair and balanced...'

Thanks for the link - Looking at that vid, it was clear Hannity knew he'd let his political cat out of the bag - or gave his fans a glimpse of hypocrisy. Either way, it's hate and fear mongering at its absolute worst.
