Family Research Council spreading lies about healthcare reform

[Joanne98]

When it's all said and done, part of the reason why President Obama and the Democrats is losing the message war over healthcare reform is because the conservative machine is at them full tilt.

Even the religious right have gotten in on the message. I received the following email this morning from the Family Research Council. It reads in part:

As debate over "health care reform" heads toward a showdown, the White House and its liberal allies are in full attack mode-confusing voters with moderate words; attempting to silence dissent; demonizing Christians and conservatives; and twisting the arms of moderate and undecided lawmakers who share your traditional values.

. . . President Obama and his liberal congressional allies remain fiercely committed to their radical vision of a nationalized health care system that

Uses your taxes to pay for abortions

Gives bureaucrats the power to ration medicine and treatment

Pressures the elderly and seriously ill to forego life-extending care

Forces pro-life doctors, nurses, and other professionals to participate in abortions

Raises taxes and wastes trillions of dollars on programs that will make health care worse

Liberal advocates can't defend their "reform" plans without revealing those destructive intentions. Instead, our success in exposing the facts and building opposition to them has become a lightning rod for the anti-life movement and the mainstream press to repeat their lies.

Some may view this cynically as an FRC push for money. Apparently the organization feels that its more lucrative to beat up on the President than lgbts for the time being.

But there is more to it than meets the eye. Obama is now facing the machine that have plagued lgbts for as long as I can remember - organizations that will lie for the body of Christ.

I think that there is a coordinated attack on Obama that goes way beyond disagreement with policy. All elements of the right, including the religious right, are involved. My guess is that this will play out in other battles.

1. the latest lie from neal the-boob boorz - from his show yesterday

obama now wants to take over all 401K and other retirement accounts and divide the money evenly among all citizens.

Where do these cretins come up with these lies. Anything to drive fear - and they are masters at it.

2. My answer to charges like this is:

Where in the bill does it say this? I've READ the whole darned thing, not relied on a third party's interpretation. The only taxes raised are on people making over $300K a year, and for them it's only 1%. It doesn't get about 5% until it hits millionaires. And since the rich have had taxes cut during the Bush years, I think it only fair they pay more now.

Of course I don't expect to change anyone's mind, but I do hope to shut them up--knowledge is power.

3. If Obama is going to abandon Public Option , thank the FRC

and may they kill HC for us.

If we have no principles and believe and stand for nothing,
we deserve to fail.
