You know the people who always try to SCARE people whenever you try to bring them health-insurance reform are at it again. And they're taking sentences and phrases out of context, and they're cobbling them together to leave a VERY false impression.She then turns around and shows snippets from Obama's statements and does the same thing:
But in addition to evaluating both sides of the messaging-war, folks should just read the bill, here.
The proposed legislation will levy fees on private insurance plans; the legislation will set prices for private insurance plans; the legislation will set prices for pharmaceutical medications; the legislation will authorize government audits of small business health coverage; the legislation will create healthcare rationing; the legislation will authorize bureaucratic decisions over health provision; and the legislation will raise taxes and shift funding mandates to the states.
There's lots more awful stuff beyond that. But folks should read the bill, here.
Also, check The Rhetorican, "Why Linda Douglass Is Wrong":
So the White House is calling the video about Obama dreaming of a world without private health insurance “misdisinformation”.I thought Douglass was supposed to be a cunning propagandist media-savvy professional. Remember this? If anyone is spreading this so-called “misinformation”, it’s Obama himself.
Newsbusters has more, "White House Attacks Drudge for Exposing Obama's Goal to Eliminate Private Health Insurance."
More at Hot Air and from Pat in Shreveport.
Plus, check Memeorandum. Especially, Mike Allen, "Barack Obama vs. Drudge Report," Michael Scherer, "YouTube Wars: The White House Vs. Drudge Report."
As I noted elsewhere today, this is "Obamaganda in Action."
ReplyDeleteThe truly amusing part is that these people, who apparently haven't read past the cover page of their very own bill, are accusing our side of spreading "disinformation" about ObamaCare. It has gotten to the point where they want the Obamabots slithering around the WH website to track and report our emails/comments/blog posts/etc., to a government website.
LOL-I think I'll send them a direct link to mine and save them the trouble.
Linda Douglass is lying through her teeth in that video. I suspect the twelve other former MSM people who have likewise bolted their jobs to spew propaganda for the Obamanistas will be little different.
I tend to think of those thirteen reporters-turned-propagandists as the last batch of rats that jumped aboard the Titanic just before it was pushed away from its moorings.
