A spokesman for America’s Health Insurance Plans, the industry’s trade group, admitted in an article published Monday that as many as 50,000 industry employees are involved in an effort to fight back against aggressive health care reform.
“The health-insurance industry is sending thousands of its employees to town-hall meetings and other forums during Congress’s August recess to try to counter a tide of criticism directed at the insurers and remain a player — and not an outsider — in the debate over the future of the health-care system,” the Journal’s Vanessa Fuhrmans and Avery Johnson wrote Monday.
Well that’s just fucking great. So not only are the corporations spending millions of dollars bribing Congress, they’re now sending their employees to these town-hall meetings to shout things like “Death panels” and “Old people are going to die” and “Old people won’t be able to get knee replacements.”
And why are those corporate whores shouting these things during town-hall meetings? Because old people are fucking stupid.
There has to be some rule that says once you turn 55 you must turn into a racist, sexist piece of shit that has to believe everything you hear on TV. I mean, why else would old people believe Barack Obama is a secret Muslim, this country is turning into a socialist nation, liberals hate America, if we don’t fight terrorist overseas they will come to America, waterboarding isn’t torture, and universal health care will bring about the end of the world?
That’s why we need to either start drop kicking these old fuckers right in their goddamn head every time they say something stupid or tell their nurse to stop giving them their chocolate pudding during lunch. Because I’m getting sick of these gullible old twats shouting incoherent things during town-hall meetings and making white people look bad.
Plus, we need these fuckers to hurry up and die so we can get our inheritance money.

Phuck Politics says:
@Zirgar – I wonder if the government death panels will be as effective as the private insurances?
@A BadGalSays – You are always welcomed here.
@Rory – Okay, I’ll exclude from the drop kicks because you don’t have any kids…and you are entertaining the thought of leaving me your inheritance…and because you aren’t crazy.

Hear hear! I’ve been calling for a generational war for years. Every time these barely conscious Medicare recipients complain about “socialism,” I think of the GI Bill and the expansion of the state university system, which provided college educations to Americans on an unprecedented scale.
I think of FDR’s creation of Freddie Mac, which was devised as a means by which to make home ownership possible for Americans of a broad range of professions and income levels.
I think of these and many other state-funded social welfare measures that provided the conditions for the unprecedented wealth, prosperity and quality-of-life protection that their generation has enjoyed and continues to enjoy.
We watch, helplessly, as this generation decries government-provided health insurance as “socialistic.”
I say “helplessly” because the old people have all of the political power. Expand the group under discussion to include all of the Baby Boomers, and the situation is still more dire. Political rhetoric and propaganda is still crafted for their consumption. Advertising and product-development is directed at them. Turn on your local news or cable news or NPR at any given time, and chances are that that’s the audience its targeting.
The United States of America eats its young.

@cft – And don’t forget these assholes hated war when they were being forced to fight, but now they have no problem forcing others to fight.
