Frank Luntz's fake Massachusetts focus group
I just watched this and about threw up. No way some of these people voted for Obama. Several of them are pro's at spouting Hanity, Beck, Republican talking points. The Doctor especially is a lying sack of shit. Funny how not one person in the group talks like every Democrat I know and think Obama is too corporate and is not fighting hard enough for meaningful public option HC.

1. If People Vote According To The Lies They're Told
then ALL focus groups and polls are going to have these kinds of results.

It's The Lies, stupid.

And it's not just teabaggers telling the lies.

2. It's maddening, isn't it?
That entire channel is targeted toward insecure, ignorant fools who are so dumb--that they'll allow
themselves to be injected with nonsense.

Have you ever met a Fox fan and spoke with them at length? All they know how to do is spew these
nonsensical talking points that are lies, twisted statistics and half truths.

Fox News spends a great deal of time puffing up these dolts--telling them how smart they are and how
"in the know" they are. The people who watch Fox News are misfits and loons, but now they've got an
entire channel of commentators telling them that they are so wise and amazing--and those who disagree
are bad. So, they have this emotional/psychological investment in believing this malarkey. If it's
not true--then they're really just misfits and freaks.

So, they BELIEVE... It really is bizarre.

3. Couldnt find any Coakley Supporters
Heard that he couldn't find many folks to be on his panel who supported Coakley. They kept cancelling on his, because they were too embarrassed to be on TV supporting her.
