According the the New York Times, the Republicans and their supporters (including hag Michelle Malkin) have attacked the young boy who spoke on behalf of S-CHIP. Here are some excerpts from the NY Times:
.....In recent days, Graeme and his family have been attacked by conservative bloggers and other critics of the Democrats’ plan to expand the insurance program, known as S-chip. They scrutinized the family’s income and assets — even alleged the counters in their kitchen to be granite — and declared that the Frosts did not seem needy enough for government benefits.....
......An aide to Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, expressed relief that his office had not issued a press release criticizing the Frosts.
But Michelle Malkin, one of the bloggers who have strongly criticized the Frosts, insisted Republicans should hold their ground and not pull punches......
Even if McConnell's office didn't issue an "official" press release about the Frost family, rumors are flying that the home address and phone number of the family originated out of McConnell's office.
Michelle Malkin should be ashamed of herself for attacking the Frost family. Malkin and the rest of these GOP opponents to children's health coverage won't discuss the merits of the program, but they will attack the messenger.
Here in Franklin County Ohio, over 5,000 children are enrolled in the S-CHIP program. The Republicans don't care about poor sick kids because these kids can't vote.
