Koch-Funded Group To Take Creepy Anti-Obamacare Carnival On The Road (Video And Images)
Generation Opportunity, the Koch-funded nonprofit group that created the Creepy Uncle Sam anti-Obamacare campaign last fall, is back with an extremely elaborate new anti-Obamacare ad, which they are taking on the road as a circus-type event. You can’t make this stuff up.
Ironically, the first image in the ad looks exactly a coal runner, not Obamacare, coming into town intentionally spewing out toxic black smoke just to stick it to Obama. The Koches are notorious polluters so this totally makes sense.
Here comes creepy Obummer trying to get America on board with Affordable Health Care. Pure evil!:
Naturally, it features a little girl junkie nurse – or something to that effect because that’s just what Obamacare is, right?
Buzzfeed created some incredible gifs of the video which you can see here.
Watch:
Some of the comments under the video read:
“What the fuck it this shit…?”
“These are the same people who made an ad comparing Obamacare to rape. These scare tactics are nothing more than complete hyperbole. It’s pathetic.”
“So I assume you guys are against obamacare?”
According to Generation Opportunity, “The ultimate goal is to educate and mobilize young Americans to kick the Obamacare disaster out of their towns.”
However, another YouTube commenter writes, “These guys are idiots. One, the ad isn’t true. Two, for people like me this SELLS the Affordable Healthcare Act.”
They’re bringing the show on the road to 10-12 states. I guess if you have nothing, you go with nothing.

That’s not Obamacare, that’s Kochacoalacare.

I also think they are finally underestimating their targeted audience.

I hope people can see through this ad and know it is full of lies. As much information that is out there, they easily can find out what the truth is and as many have signed up for health care, I believe many know first hand that this ad is slanderous.
Judgeforyourself37 July 8th, 2014 at 3:41 pm
Well, if they only watch FAUX Noise Channel and listen to Limbaugh on the radio their views are very skewed, and the information that they glean is erroneous.
Suzanne McFly July 8th, 2014 at 4:23 pm
It drives me crazy how these people hold so strongly on an issue they seem to know so little about. If there is an issue I have emotions for one way or another, I am going to research it and learn about the issue as much as possible, these people are so gullible they just take the words from there spokespeople as gospel and then spew it as if they are informing others with actual facts.

This is what sane people do, Suzanne. Many rank and file republicans have no need for research because all they need are their “beliefs,” which is why so many of them can be easily suckered by the likes of McConnell, Boehner, Cruz, Lee, Gohmert, and other GOPTPers. The top GOPTPers know they’re misleading and scamming them, but they don’t care as long as they’re able to use them to gain power over all of us.

Yes but you make an assumption that right-wingers want to know what the truth is. They don’t! They just want a reason to hate.

Gotta love their new ad playing now touting the support of 60,000 jobs, wonder how it must feel as a concerned employee knowing you’re adding to the problem. But I guess if you have a family to support,

I think it is a perfect paradigm of the debate over the past 5 years where those of us who support the ACA can rely on actual events to support our opinions.
But opponents and critics must rely on nonsensical bullsh*t.

MISSION COMPLETE: Ninth Street Ministries Free Medical Clinic Announces Closure
The Ninth Street Ministries – Medical Care Services Division only – has announced that after serving its community for over 15 years, it will no longer provide services as of April 24, 2014, and as the administrators explain through heavy hearts, “The mission is complete.”
The current Clinic Director, Stacey Bowser, explained there were many mixed emotions involved in the decision but said overall, with the passage of the Affordable Care Act, the need is no longer present – the patients that the ministry opened for are now being served.

Those are precisely the people the Koch’s don’t want to be healthy!

I guess that will even the playing field for conservatives by countering George Soros, One World Government proponent and the REAL boss of the liberal’s messiah.

How would you like to be judged? By your good deeds or your bad deeds whether true or not? That’s what you just did comparing Soros to Koch. DUH
Judgeforyourself37 July 8th, 2014 at 3:51 pm
What “bad deeds” were committed by George Soros? Did you read the hyperlink?
RAPTOR555 July 8th, 2014 at 4:11 pm
I can fill up several pages with links but try these for starters. It will give you a great start when you start researching him. He is a self-described communist which should give you an idea of his plans. History on how communists take over countries: They will start by eliminating God via liberals and try to liberalize the whole country. Once the country is ripe, the communists step in and kill all the liberals and take over. Research it and you will find that what I say is true.

out of curiosity I checked one of these links at the archive.org site.
here is the claim
“”Soros also told “The Australian” that the world financial crisis was”stimulating” and “in a way, the culmination of my life’s work.”””
that is a complete misrepresentation of what Mr. Soros said. Or simply stated, a bald faced lie. Here is what Soros actually said in full context.
Right wingers are lying, again…
and in other breaking news, the sun rose in the east.

So people bring things to your attention if they think a situation is developing in a region or a market?
I read the newspaper, I have some financial services that I also look at. I’m not on top of the financial markets. I just don’t have adequate information on detail so I can only use blunt instruments that are sort of macroeconomic instruments. On the other hand, I am tremendously involved in policy issues and that is where I am focusing.
What sort of policy?
The financial crisis, and ***how to solve it***. It was not something that I was particularly concerned with prior to the rise of the crisis and I am also involved in the activities of the (Soros) Foundation.
But for the past 18 months you have been keeping an eye on the markets?
Yeah but I have also been writing a lot more than I was writing before because the crisis really stimulated me. I wrote a series of articles in the course of the year, I wrote a book, I published a book and I’m just about to publish a sequel to last year’s book, bringing it up to date, I am just working on it now.
So do you have a sense that things are coming together for you now?
It is in a way a culminating point of my life’s work, so to speak.
Everything is coming together.
Yeah, the American election, the financial crisis, the theory of reflexivity. So it is actually a very stimulating period.

Please comment on my links where Soros’ communism, socialism and agendas are concerned. I really don’t care whether there might have been a misquote on a minor issue. Thanks!

No kidding.

Yeah, and you are fricking delusional. Seek help.

Fantastic site, thank you for putting it on your post. I did not realize that Daddy Koch, father of the brothers Koch, founded the John Birch Society. Back in the early 1960s (1961/1963 I had an ob/gyn who had another doctor working with him. Thankfully, I never had to see the other ob/gyn, as all his patients were send Birch Society flyers and other mailings.

Read the hyperlink. Frankly, the icon to the left of your post and your profile says it all. How, in all common sense, can you really deny climate change?
lindsncal July 12th, 2014 at 12:59 am
Are you kidding me? Level the playing field?
Look up the soros foundation then stfu.
Soros doesn’t bother with this stuff. However the Kochs don’t miss a chance to attack any democratic policy there is. His Open Society Foundation is active in many countries, and has so far spent more than ten billion dollars to help spread democracy.
Soros spends his money fighting for the rights of the poor around the world. The Kochs spend their money on corporate lobbyists and in every state in the country buying senators and other congressmen, governors, mayors, and now they’re buying state att. generals who keep blocking their fascist laws they get passed.
The Kochs have four times the money that soros has.
Stop repeating what your b s pundits tell you to say without a clue as so what you’re talking about.

what freaking a*hole thought this one up? repubs should be worried about the drugs they are taking: besides they ;eft out all the fun stuff, like losing your ability to keep from going bankrupt due to catastrophic accident or illness, or having insurance comany refuse you coverage, or dropping your coverage if you start getting too sick…boy they only talked about the fun stuff
Skip Patterson July 8th, 2014 at 11:15 pm
Another lie about the ACA. And this is a real desperate attempt at scaring and misinforming people. No people are starting to realize that the Republicans have been lying to them about the Affordable Care Act all along. I mean it has gotten so bad that right-wingers aren’t calling it ObamaCare much these days.
