Tucker Carlson Flogs The Old Death Panels Trope To Discourage ACA Enrollment ::posted Sun, 16 Nov 2014 15:10:00 +0000:: ift.tt/1uhOGy7 Here we go. Its Day One of the open enrollment period for Obamacare, and Fox News is doing its level best to make sure no one dares to get health insurance, reviving the old death panel cry alongside the new Gruber-gate whine. Proving above everything else, that Tucker Carlson is nothing more than a right-wing propagandist whose primary interest is in himself and no one else. What Jon Gruber did or did not say during the debate over the ACA is largely irrelevant. If he were a Senator or Representative or the President of the United States, perhaps it would matter. But it doesnt, because Gruber was hired to consult on structure, policy and economic issues. So lets just lay aside all the crap theyre tossing about Gruber, even though we know it plays to the aggrieved voter profile of the typical Fox News viewer. Whats worse than Gruber-gate? Tucker Carlson pretending like he gives a damn about what health care people get. Death Panel Zombie Lie Rising Take, for example, his effort to revive the death panels trope by whining about recommended ages for mammograms and colonoscopies. Tucker concern-trolls as usual, whining, No colonoscopies for men age 76-85. Of course, men in that particular age group are probably down on their knees thanking God for that exclusion, but for Tucker, its just a terrible thing and it means death panels. Colonoscopies involve anesthesia. If theres no indication that one is needed, why on earth would you routinely subject a 76-85 year old person to such a thing? read more [Forwarded by the MyLeftBlogosphere news engine.
