The host of the syndicated talk radio program Ground Zero, who says that the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is a nefarious government plot, is appealing to his listeners for money after a hospitalization for chest pains.
The Clyde Lewis Facebook page is linking to a crowdfunding site that is soliciting donations in the wake of his reported hospitalization for a coronary embolism. In the past, Lewis suggested that Obamacare was a Big Brother government plot that, among other things, would require computer chips to be implanted in every American.
According to his Wikipedia page, Lewis is also a Birther, says that the Sandy Hook school shooting was staged, and believes aliens from outer space are on earth in order to eat people and farm their organs.

(65 posts)Right up there with 'keep the government away from my Medicare'. Idiot. He thinks the Sandy Hook school shooting was staged . . . perhaps he should have a conversation with some of the parents. What an a**hole. Seems he also believes that the moon landing was a hoax and that Prince William is the anti-christ. Good grief.
