LIVE RADIO NOW: False Obamacare Ads Will Be Fatal To The GOP.

This week’s show

False Obamacare Ads Will Be Fatal To The GOP.

Over the last several weeks Koch Brothers funded Americans for Prosperity (AFP) has been releasing false Obamacare ads about chronically sick people hurt by Obamacare. Each story has been subsequently debunked. While this false advertising may work in the short term it will ultimately be fatal to the GOP as Americans realize they were used as a weapon against themselves.

America is a free country. Free speech ensures that we can say almost anything without consequence. As a society we have decided on exceptions to free speech. You cannot yell ‘fire’ in a theatre when there is no fire. You cannot yell ‘bomb’ at an airport when there is no bomb. Why, because at that point your free speech infringes on the safety of your fellow citizens.

Our corporate government has failed to stop the Koch Brothers and their cohort from yelling fire in a crowded theatre. We must.

Give me a call. Let’s talk.

Most people get insurance from their jobs and aren't affected one way or the other from Obamacare. Many people aren't going to know others who have been on Obamacare.

Many rightwing states aren't expanding medicaid so Obamacare isn't helping them much.

Why wouldn't conservatives believe the lies?

opposing Obamacare." It features a town hall-type meeting in which some old white fart bagger is spewing about how "frightened" he is, but never says why. It's obvious the old bastard has been on Medicare for years. Amash is shown nodding his head with an oh-so-concerned look on his face. It then states that baggers like Amash have "real solutions" but of course those alleged solutions were never mentioned. It's truly heinous and really pointless.
