Conservatives Steal Blogger's Photo For Anti-Obamacare DIRTY TRICK


"..The woman whose photo they stole actually likes her policy and has no complaints. But that didn't stop them..."



Teabaggers should learn how to spell check.....Yes, it must be a 'CONSIRACY'.....






Crooks & Liars:


As I've written many times, conservatives will create any lie as long as it helps their causes. Here's the latest case in point via Americablog

Helene isn’t having the best week. The Texas blogger was visiting Las Vegas for a bachelorette party this past weekend, and woke up on Saturday to find that she’d become the latest anti-Obamacare poster child.

The thing is, Helene never signed up for the job.

In fact, she told me yesterday that she’s quite happy with the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and with the “affordable” health care it helped her find.

“Not only do I not agree with what the image is portraying,” Helene wrote me, “I actually have Affordable Healthcare!”

So, if anything, Helene is an Obamacare success story.

But that didn’t stop over 17,000 people on Facebook from sharing an image of her face, posted just days ago, with a caption complaining about Obamacare. To add insult to injury, the people who stole her image couldn’t even spell “conspiracy” right.

The typo says it all about these people, doesn't it? This is indeed a sick and twisted move by conservative ratf*&kers. It's too bad that Helene has been unwittingly used as a tool for tea party propaganda games when all she did was take a selfie after a bad hair day.

You might remember this picture from THIS POST when the guy at the hair salon dyed my hair way too dark and I was so upset I took a selfie mid cry. I also used the photo when I went through the different shades of my hair color throughout my hair dying years. Never did I imagine it would be swiped and used for propaganda.

I wish she could sue the pants off of these people. If Obamacare is so horrible then why do conservatives have to lie so much about it?

"We're Real Americans(tm), and we know what's what. We don't need to 'look at the facts' because we already know what they are."

"You libtard pinheads don't have any reply except your Liberal Media talking points, so you focus on small stuff like spelling errors. You know damn well what we mean. We're Real Americans and deserve to be taken seriously, it's the you know whos who have to prove they're not lazy ignorant dumbasses."

"Besides, all those signs are by liberal infilTRAITORS"

converting from ZERO health plans for uninsured (and everyone) to THIS FIRST VERSION of a plan for uninsured (and everyone), is something their GOP-Joseph Goebbels types are scrambling like RATS trying to capitalize upon. I'd LOVE to know just how many millions the Kochs and other a-hole fascists have allocated to lies about Obamacare.

Republicans have used propaganda and lies since they first infested the U.S. in a big way in 1981. They haven't stopped lying and using propaganda since, and they stop at nothing.

Doesn't the GOP have criers? Surely they could've used one of these:

Everyone owns the rights to their name and likeness unless they lease it to a third party or it's used for satire (and that only applies to celebrities). Since she isn't a celebrity and this group used her likeness without permission, I'm pretty sure she can sue the pants off them.
