WOW...the stupidity

I found this video from The Young Turks on youtube



People support Obamacare... IF they don't know its obamacare. What do you guys think? is it racism? Or do the presidents approval ratings really draw people away from logic and reason and make them vote based on face value?

So many people have heard all the horrors of "Obamacare" from Faux News and conservative talk show hosts, and of course, too many of them have believed what they were told. Where it backfired is that they only have been calling it "Obamacare", so these people are too ignorant to know that it has any other name.

My (sigh) right wing family is the same way. They practically think that obamacare is Nazism. Its sad..

I commiserate with you, since I am the lone liberal in my family as well.

Welcome to DU. Hope that you will find this place a haven from the family nonsense.

Through in some apathy and it is just an ugly thing indeed. Sadly, I am not surprised at all - I have become pretty disappointed when I now think of what to expect from most people.
