"I can't hardly afford eyeglasses, the hearing aid that I need, or teeth..."

[Stephanie]

Unidentified anti-HRC protestor in Lincoln Park Grand Junction CO yesterday:

I can't hardly afford eyeglasses, the hearing aid that I need, or teeth, but I damn sure can't afford the Obama Nation.

LOOK how the middle class and working poor have been DUPED by the insurance industry lobbyists and corporate rightwing plutocrats into voting against their own interests! Watch this video from the Grand Junction Anti-Health Care protest, and see this deluded Coloradan attempt to explain why he's doing without TEETH, but can't support HCR. SHAME on the lying liars and profiteers who have conned this poor man. I mean YOU, Dick Armey.

Video from the Grand Junction protest available here - Mr. Gullible appears at 00:35:

How do we fight against this propaganda war, when millions are spent daily to deceive the Gullibles into screwing themselves?

1. I've said it before: TV ads debunking the lies.

Not just stupid ads calling the RW liars, but ads that expose the lies, in plain spoken 20 second soundbites. It's easy enough, yet this administration can't seem to figure it out.

[Stephanie]

8. They're more stealthy than that

Ad are one thing, having full-time mouthpieces lying 24/7 on cable news is another.

2. We get back on the phone

Same way we won in the first place.

7. You can't just dismiss these people

You have to get through to them somehow, IMO.

4. I wish I could get a picture of him

Trying to get a screen cap and it's not working.

5. "But I can afford a razor with which to cut my own throat!"

[Stephanie]

6. And all these anti-Obama buttons that I'm wearing

Oh wait, I got those free from the kind health insurance company.

9. OK, this guy (Grand Junction protester)

has some serious knowledge gaps, but most proposed HCR plans and even many non-American Single payers don't cover glasses or dental work.

The existence of separate dental care insurance has allowed dentists' charges to balloon enormously, but most plans STILL cover only 50% or less of the cost.

What's going on here?

10. Yep, in the yoooooesssssaaaaaay, teeth ears & eyes don't count

But we gotta have boner pills & allergy meds that give you explosive diarrhea, fainting, shortness of breath, headaches, joint pains, and or lymphoma..and of course whatever that medicine is, that the lady who's flirting with her bicycle, uses.
