    Americans are extra stupid: New Gruber talking Cadillac plans

    Note the difference in the two styles of journalism. I would think that both are stories, 1) they lied about what they were selling the public and 2) because they knew they could sell it because "Americans were stupid"

    Politico

    An Obamacare Gotcha Moment

    One of Obamacare’s chief architects, MIT professor Jonathan Gruber, just handed conservatives a gotcha moment.


    Health law opponents and conservative academics are highlighting a two-year-old video of Gruber — who has advised both the Obama administration and then-Gov. Mitt Romney’s Massachusetts health reform effort — in which he seems to agree that the law’s health insurance subsidies can’t be awarded through federal-run exchanges, only through the state-run markets.
    I read Politico's entire story and maybe I missed it but where's the "stupid" quote. I also noticed that Politico bring up "two year old video" and Mitt Romney to mitigate the damage.

    Why do they need to mitigate the damage? Maybe because they are biased?

    Fox

    New tape of ObamaCare architect calling American people 'stupid'

    ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber apparently doesn't think much of the intelligence of the American people.


    A new tape has surfaced showing Gruber, once again, claiming the health care law's authors took advantage of the "stupid" American public.


    The tape, played on Fox News' "The Kelly File," showed Gruber speaking at an October 2013 event at Washington University in St. Louis.


    Referring to the so-called "Cadillac tax" on high-end health plans, he said: "They proposed it and that passed, because the American people are too stupid to understand the difference."

    Fox brings up the fact that he called Americans "stupid" and that the Cadillac tax was true.
    And if we should die tonight
    Then we should all die together
    Raise a glass of wine for the last time
    Calling out father, prepare as we will
    Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
    Desolation comes upon the sky..

    Aside from the fact that this has been debunked twice (and didn't you post in one of the threads?), the American people weren't the goobers who passed the bill. It was the republicans in Congress who were so confident it wouldn't pass they didn't read it.

    Why did the right portray the video as "new", when in fact it wasn't? More lies.

    Does "debunk" mean that there's video of him saying it?

    "New" as in "recently put on our news desks".

    A simple way to tell when a Democrat will lie to you is they start out

    Soooooo

    All of the liars do it.

    It matters not who they talk to, or who does it, they all start out lies saying ...

    Soooooooooo

    I believe it gives their brain a moment to gather to make sure they tell the correct lie.

    An old lie.

    Hell, that fixes it.

    LMAO

    Can you believe this. If the lie is not hot off the griddle, it becomes the truth to Democrats.
