19. He is not a journalist

He's a catapult the propaganda-ist.

I also recently heard John Boeher call the health care system prior to the ACA "The best health care delivery system in the world". His implication was the ACA would wreck it. Uh, John, the system was a wreck, the ACA FIXES IT! (John's been doing a lot of BIG LIES lately. Don't need an LGBT workplace anti-discrimination bill because there's already laws in place to prevent that. John's "facts" are manufactured 2 seconds before they come out of his mouth and nobody calls him on it!)

Our entire national discourse is agenda driven propaganda. It sure as hell is no longer news!

Why do our Dems repeatedly bend to this bullshit instead of standing on the merits of the ACA?

Another thing - the gov't website is reported to be glitchy. I've heard the ACA 800#'s are working JUST FINE and the state exchanges are working just fine. Americans need something like a mother ship website to guide them through the many avenues available to sign up.

Are the Repubs all bitching about an ethereal talking point instead of facts? How many of them have had a bad experience signing up vs. how many are robotically aping Rush/Hannity/MSM talking points?

And where are all the voices from those that had their lives ruined by the old system? All the medical bankruptcies from people that thought they had good insurance and all the people that suffered and died for lack of health insurance? IF we're going to compare a glitchy websight to a fucking war we should also talk about the death and misery of the old health care delivery system that yearly killed almost as many people as the entirety of the Viet Nam War!

The estimated 45,000 lives a year we lost per year because of their lack of healthcare is orders of magnitude more serious than a glitchy website!

The current anti-ACA propaganda is irrational and it just goes to show how effective MASS PROPAGANDA has been for making the average American grossly misinformed.
