Fox News Focus Group Member: ‘You Can’t Even Speak The Truth Any More Or You’ll Be Called A Racist’ [View all]
http://freakoutnation.com/2016/01/fox-news-focus-group-member-you-cant-even-speak-the-truth-any-more-or-youll-be-called-a-racist/A Frank Luntz focus group thinks it's just so unfair that when they "speak the truth," people think they're racists. What kind of "truth" do you think they want to speak?...
The bigoted insinuations began immediately as one man complained that we pay as much for "refugees and immigrants" as we are paying for veterans' care.
There was a brief attack on ObamaCare as a woman claimed that health care "is going straight down the toilet" and "We can't convince doctors to treat patients." A man said he "got laid off because of ObamaCare and it's not fair."
And then there was this guy: "What bothers me the most in this country is that you can't even speak the truth any more or else you'll be called a racist or a bigot or any other thing." Got that? It doesn't just bother him, it bothers him more than anything else in this country.
