Obama: Obamacare critics are 'desperate' fat-cat Fox News watchers

Olivier Knox, Yahoo News 1 hour ago

President Barack Obama went nuclear this week in his attacks on Republicans trying to derail the Affordable Care Act, painting the controversial law’s opponents as fat-cats who watch too much Fox News. Or freeloaders. Or the Koch Brothers. Or folks who think the Fugitive Slave Act and Obamacare are equally terrible.

That’s a slight exaggeration. Slight.

And always-pugnacious senior Obama adviser Dan Pfeiffer took to CNN to compare Republicans to terrorists. And kidnappers. And arsonists.

Here’s Pfeiffer on CNN’s The Lead :

“It is not a negotiation if I show up at your house and say give me everything inside or I'm going to burn it down.”

And

“The Republicans have provided a laundry list of essentially ransom demands.”

And

“What we're not for is negotiating with people with a bomb strapped to their chest.”

That’s some take-no-prisoners stuff, only days before Americans can sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act and the government might shut down if congressional Republicans and the White House can’t agree on a spending plan for fiscal 2014 by Tuesday.

The strategy is not without risks, like alienating good-faith skeptics about the law. But Democrats say it serves multiple purposes. It rallies the troops ahead of the 2014 elections (mid-term elections are generally thought of as decided by the parties’ core or “base” supporters). It also turns signing up for Obamacare into a blow against some of liberals' favorite targets. And it aims to transform the discussion about Obamacare from a philosophical dispute about the government’s role in health care into a fight over benefits.

I'd sure rather be that, then a narcissistic gay Muslim America-hating ally-alienating affirmative-action hopeless crack-headed incompetent vacation-abusing bad-golfing petulant childlike Communist anarchist Islamic-extremist pillow-biting freak, like Obama.

Yes, better comparison. It’s all cool again. I should have never thrown my old toys out. Who knew I would be using them to describe the leader of the free world?

The only fat cats I see are the Big Dems on Wall Street getting $85 billion a month from the Fed. That the Repubs are the fat cats today is a sorry joke, it is a myth they live to retell.

If you are in opposition to tyranny, then you must be targeted and demonized. The hope is that eventually, after blaming the opposition for the failures, that the public will turn against them. Once that happens, re-education camps and “elimination” is pretty easy.....

Just dictators doing what they do best!

Doesn’t Fox News command higher viewership than CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS combined?

Strange times when the 800lb media gorilla is singled out like they’re a fringe group.
