Republicans Invent "Obama Plans to Kill Old People" Anti-Healthcare Conspiracy Theory

In an effort to scare older, more conservative Americans away from health care reform, republicans have invented and are now spreading a grass-roots conspiracy theory that American healthcare reform is a secret Obama-administration plot to execute old people, "like Hitler."

'Many' Americans are idiots. I stick by my word. I'm from the U.S. and people here are sooo ignorant, especially among the elders.

I don't find it shocking. Bush was elected twice! Blame EC. Palin ran for VP! She believes dinosaurs and humans roamed the earth together. They get elected primarily because of religion and by other means that constituents find appealing. Anyone who is a 'Christian' and wealthy can get elected in the U.S. Christians make up about 80% of the population.

@andysworldoftunes Well said.

@joe80dmanizanerd That seems to be the case everywhere else in the First World. Right Wingers in other developed nations roll their eyes at the utter willful stupidity of the American Right.

@wildperson The start of the so-called Religious Right began with the founding of a think tank called the Institute of Religion and Democracy in 1968 by more secular Right Wingers based in Washington as a way to undercut the Social Justice Gospel from inside the churches and/as well as provide a new ready supply of votes from Evangelicals in the wake of the dissatisfaction of Northeastern Mainline Protestants with the GOP in the wake of the Red Scare.

Here in GREAT BRITAIN, our health service is run by the government, no one tells us what to eat or drink or what kind of lifestyle to lead. Yes there are GOV guidelines and recommended daily alcohol intake levels but there's no one knocking on doors enforcing this. The idea is laughable. Our old folk are looked after till their last breath by dedicated medical staff who aren't all out to make money out of it. We literally are the land of the FREE.

Obama will kill the older americans, He thinks that they are too costly to give health care to. HE IS A NAZI

Yes, but the good thing is the satire that comes because of their ludicrous politics, such as The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.

Ironically, any poor that vote Republican mainly do it for religion. They don't seem to digest the scope of issues which form a term and realize that on most other issues, the Republicans seek to screw them over. I'm Christian, but my beliefs aren't based upon blind faith in anyone who throws a Bible around.
