Right Wing Obamacare Myths DEBUNKED
The Matt Walsh Blog ^ | September 25, 2013 | Matt Walsh

Posted on 09/26/2013 10:07:15 AM PDT by luvie

Man, I hate these stupid, crazy, tea bagging right wingers. So foolish, so uncivilized. They run around screaming like crazed anarchists about how they want to stop Obamacare. Damned idiots don’t realize that the government needs to be involved in our health care decisions; we’re too helpless and feeble to handle it ourselves

Actually, it was where he was going at the end of the excerpt that prompted me to read on.

I thought it was sarcastic and mocking enough that it would be obvious as satire. But it’s not far off from what Zero actually says.

This is satire. The guy disagrees with Obamacare.

Yeah, I caught that after reading it.

Satire is usually announced on FR openly, though.

When I read the almost-exact same words in the comments of HuffPo, WaPo, NYT, LAT, and every article in CNNBCBSMSNBCABCDisney, it’s 99% or higher to be a Leftist.

You don’t have to write satire about them; just copy-paste their own words.

I have not yet heard anyone point this out:

The only winners with this law are businesses which remove individuals from company plans and provide a stipend to their workers for health care. There costs are now either equal or less than they were AND the US Treasury will collect taxes on the stipend as it will be considered “other income”.

MAKE DC LISTEN: TELL YOUR SENATORS TO OPPOSE CLOTURE ON H.J. RES 59
We must oppose cloture on H. J. Res. 59, so that Harry Reid and Senate Democrats cannot sneak in funding for Obamacare. We need you to call your Senators right now: tell them to oppose cloture on H.J. Res 59 and remind them that a vote for cloture IS a for funding Obamacare.

I’m shocked at how many Freepers have whiffed on this. It is excellent satire. The collective IQ - and morale - of FR has declined since the Good Old Days... as lamented the Ancient Greeks...

I found that the excerpt made it pretty obvious that it was satire.

His RW Obama(dork)care myth list, eh?

So, he’s an economic and medical cretin.

Ergo, betcha he believes in climate change too.

This is satire, right?

Because such a fevered rant would not normally be the product of a sane mind, assuming the writer of this prose has any serious contention to make. He certainly does not make any valid points, attacking straw men and reasoning from wholly specious premises.

Fact is, the whole tone of the piece is a mockery of all the rationalizations the defenders of Obamacare make on behalf of this badly written and misnamed “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010”.

The problem with this piece is that FReepers will not read beyond the headline and first sentence that shows here in the forum.

By doing so you will miss some of the better ending sentences...

SHUTDOWN THE GOVERNMENT?! BUT HOW WOULD WE EAT OR BREATHE?!

You’re playing with fire, conservatives. Civilization is bound together by the strong, steady hand of bureaucracy. If you loosen its grasp, you risk plunging us all into a dark, perilous land of individual responsibility and liberty. Our Founders fought and died to rescue us from such a fate, and I’ll be damned if I sit here and let you undo their efforts.

Maybe a few liberals will read it and learn something. I used to work with some wacko libs and I’d have to be sneaky to get a point over on them.
