The Deeply Disturbing Ways the Kochs Are Trying to Convince Us We Don't Want Better Healthcare

[madokie]

Are we going to fall for the PR sham that we shouldn't let 'Uncle Sam stick his finger up our butt?'


“You’re not going to let Uncle Sam put his finger up your butt, are you, dude?”

We’re at a bustling town fair, a few weeks from now. Kids climb on the firetruck. Community groups sell cupcakes and give out flyers. At the “Enroll America” booth, people are on healthcare.gov signing up for the health insurance marketplace.

But here’s a weird sight: an Uncle Sam character, someone dressed in a Fourth of July costume and a creepy mask (think of the King character in the Burger King commercials), is waving at fairgoers.

Creepy Uncle Sam doesn’t speak, but he’s accompanied by a normal-looking guy in his 20s who’s trying to pitch to young people in the crowd.

1. If they are truly worried about people sticking fingers up their butt

they should worry about the private prisons. At least with doctors, you can say 'no'.

2. I feel so sorry for all the people who don't have brains enough

to resist falling for KochLies.
