Morning Briefs Item 3: Rolling Out the Astroturf
Posted by Gregory of Yardale at February 26, 2010 6:53 AM
The Democrat National Committee and Organizing For America are sending out their activists and agitators to spam blogs and talk-radio outlets with talking points in favor of ObamaCare. Nice to know that Kyle/Ghost of Wellstone has a job again.
We know that activists will be telling phony health care horror stories ... probably the same one will be told over and over again under different pseudonyms ... so, just to make this fun, why don't you make some suggestions to the astroturfers in the comments. I'll kick it off.
"My husband currently has a government job, but I am terrified of what will happen if he should lose his job and insurance. The thought that we would have to be responsible for our own medical bills terrifies me. He's far too stupid to work in the private sector. We need health care reform. - Jill in Delaware."
"I'm a columnist for the Atlantic and an immigrant to your country. I was recently gobsmacked and chagrined to discover that my insurance company considers rectal prolapse a pre-existing condition. Also, Trig Palin is not Sarah Palin's son. I am NOT a crackpot. - Andrew in P-Town"
