Do you have misgivings about the Obama administration’s proposed health care “reforms?” If so, it’s only because you’re afraid and stupid. This is according to a story recently posted by CNN, Fears Fuel Emotional Health Care Protests.
In the story CNN characterizes the responses of health care reform opponents as “emotional.” Here’s how the mental state of health care reform opponents is described:
“…citizens… are afraid…”
“…there’s an underlying fear here…”
“Obama tried to alleviate fears…”
“I think that’s the fear…”
“…he’s not been really able to allay that fear…”
“Critics are voicing fears…”
So, as far as CNN is concerned, if you object to Obama’s reforms it can’t be the result of rational doubt or intelligent inquiry; your response is emotional and must be driven by fear.
And, CNN’s crack analysts have already figured out why health care reform opponents are afraid: It’s because they’re stupid. What?? CNN is calling health care opponents stupid? Not exactly. Instead, they use the politically correct term “misinformed.” That’s right, folks. CNN says the reason you’re opposed to health care reform is because you’re misinformed [i.e., stupid].
And why are health care reform opponents “misinformed?” Well, apparently, it’s because they’re getting all their information from the internet instead of from Ted Turner’s Oracles in Atlanta. CNN is practically apoplectic: “…rumor is picked up as fact and disseminated to millions via blogs and discussion boards…” “…people are just getting information that’s flat wrong.” Heavens to Murgatroyd, don’t people realize that the flacks at CNN are the only Americans bright enough to separate fact from rumor?
Do yourself a favor. Stop reading this column and all the other meaningless shit on the internet. I guarantee you’ll wake up tomorrow morning feeling rested and smarter.
