Hospitalized conspiracy theorist who smeared Obamacare asking for donations for his medical bills

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.

since that amount would barely cover an emergency room visit let alone an actual hospitalization.

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.

What he really needs is contributions for his time in the psychiatric hospital. Some of his "beliefs" are just hateful bigotry, but the last part about aliens is diagnostic. He should not be allowed out by himself. He needs treatment.

What is up with that 7.5K goal? Is this what a stay/care/drugs cost him in the hospital? If so, that's damn cheap.
