The Rage and Fury of Millions of Ordinary Rightists...water cooler, talk radio, etc

[NAO]

Did anyone listen AM talk radio today? It was thrilling to hear Rush, Hanninty, and Beck freaking out and melting down. They were talking about "the death of America", "the nd of the republic"...talking as if it were 1938 and the tanks had just rolled into Poland.

Now it's easy to dismiss Beck and company as nut-jobs and propagandists for the rich, but what about all the water cooler talk at workplaces today? My job takes me into several different companies per day, and everywhere I heard many people outraged that this "horrible tyranny" had been "slammed down on the American people".

And people who I consider pretty much "regular", "normal", "adjusted", (but politically misguided) people were talking about uprisings, including not subtle hints at extreme violence.

How can this be? Is it simply extremely effective propaganda? It has reached even those who do not watch Fox news or listen to talk radio.

Can anyone explain this mass popular uprising against what should be (and what was, according to many polls) a widely popular idea?

4. I heard financially desperate Pele talking about how this was going to make it worse

Seriously, poor people, downsized to part time and barely making it raging about the "fascist power grab" etc.

7. Pele is broke?

I thought he made a ton of money playing soccer.

3. What is so much of an outrage that has been slammed on people.

The government does not control anything. The set up regulations. these regulations benefit people and not insurance companies.

So giving children insurance and not being able to disqualify them because of pre-existing conditions is slamming the American People. Letting people carry their children on their insurance til they are 26 years old is slamming the American people. Letting real American public buy health insurance ..IF THEY DON'T HAVE ANY BECAUSE OF THE COST AND INSURANCE COMPANIES DENYING IT is slamming the American People.

We see were these people are the zombies that have their ears glued to rush and fox because they are the type of spewings of all this misinformation.

5. It's called white entitlement. We honkies are freaking out.

My parents live in socal, so they hate Mexicans. Us honkies hate different people, depending on where you live.

6. I, for one, welcome our new socialist overlords

I think that I will like this new "horrible tyranny" like they have in France, Australia, England, Canada, and - yes, even Costa Rica.

8. They don't even know what is in the bill

So every conspiracy theory and lie is what they think they will get. Add into that white entitlement, and there you go.
