Democrats in Washington are showing their hand. Harry Reid opened by firing the first salvo of the war on truth by calling millions of Americans liars on the Senate floor. Now Democrats are beginning to make statements here and there in hopes that they can turn what is happening to health care patients all over America into a war of he-said, she-said. This is the desperate tactic that Democrats feel they need to use to hang on and win this November. I don't think a campaign of calling thousands of witnesses liars and charlatans is going to work. It took years for them to demonize a grass-roots movement called The Tea Party. I don't think they have the time.
Former Regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein didn't invent the term, but he did extensive research on what he called "Availability Cascades". It's the act of turning a bold-faced lie into accepted truth by repeating it over and over again until it becomes common-knowledge. A perfect example is the refrain that the Tea Party is racist. This has become accepted, yet when you ask anyone who believes it, why are they racist, they cannot say, they just know. Some claim that 90% of their members are white, which means that all Tea Party whites must be racists, a fact that cannot be ascertained, much less proved. They believe this proves it, as if all whites are racists, at least GOP whites. Truth is nobody knows who is a Tea Party member because nobody has ever actually joined the Tea Party. There has been small groups that take on the Tea Party label, but that's about it. They're a perfect strawman. They're an invisible entity that is open to criticism and nobody real that can respond to the attacks.
The Democrats have pulled the wool over our collective eyes for decades, and this is just the latest sham if not outright fraud. Democrats have decided to do the following:
1. Push back full implementation of Obamacare till after the next two elections hoping that the full effects don't become known to the public.
2. Call anyone who claims that they have already suffered ill-effects from the law a liar. This will be a tough task, but they have most of the media to back them up, so why not try. What have they got to lose.
3. Begin a massive media campaign to make anyone who claims to have suffered from the ACA seem like homophobes, racists, and just plain un-American. Maybe produce hundreds of folks that have been helped by it to counter the hundreds of negative claims.
The Democrats hope that they can convince enough low-information voters to believe that Obamacare is the greatest thing since sliced-bread. This will be very difficult taking into account the mess it turned out to be. Anyone who's visited the site can attest to that.
'Nope, we've worked out the bugs now. We've signed up 4 million people to Obamacare. "This is God's work....."Obama said to a group of community organizers last week. Everything is going great.'
Think enough people will buy this????
Well, they need to get their stories straight, because CBS produced this report:
