Obama’s Health Care Comedy Tour. Pajamas Media.
The Saul Alinsky method of ridicule is being used as a way of castigating opposition aside to the socialist driven health care agenda.
By mocking the concerns of the opposition, Obama rebrands them as fools. He puts his opponents on the defensive. While they spend time trying to use sound logic and facts to refute Obama’s claims, he simply shrugs it off and moves on to the next joke.
Rather than try to refute Obama’s ridicule, Republicans leaders need to help every other American worried about health care reform recognize that he is ridiculing them as well.
Polling shows that after just a week, over half of Americans want the health care bill repealed.
Obama is mocking them.
Nearly 50 percent think the new plan will lower the quality of health care.
Obama is mocking them.
Over 80 percent feel the plan will fail to lower the cost of health care.
Obama is mocking them.
A majority of people think the plan will increase the cost.
Obama is mocking them.
The purpose of Obama’s tone is to neutralize all opposition. If he can intimidate people into not speaking out because they fear being ridiculed, he makes his propaganda campaign that much easier. His American Health Care Comedy Tour is as much about shutting people up as it is about firing up his base. He tames one while galvanizing another.
Americans fed up with government without representation will be galvanized. But they will not be laughing when their voices are heard again at TEA (Taxed Enough Already) parties, or at the polls come November.
Mockery of the people fortifies will.
