My 85 year old dad just got an email claiming

[MountainMazza]

That Obamacare starts a new tax of 3.8 percent on selling your home starting January 1...and that national realtors are up in arms about it. I fact checked it...and it is not so according to factcheck.org -- apparently this is the sort of smear tactics the repugs are using. Spread the word!!!

1. I just saw the same thing posted on FaceBook

Lies, lies, lies...

[1StrongBlackMan]

2. Show the fact-check to your Dad ...

explain what it says if need be, but get it into his hands, then ask him what he thinks about whose lying to him.

[MountainMazza]

4. I've already emailed him the link

And followed up with a phone call!!!

[1StrongBlackMan]

12. But the key is ...

the question: What do you think about those people lying to you? And what do you think those people lying to you really think of you.

DRIVE THAT WEDGE.

3. Yes. A lie. Here is a great way to fight it. Mention that if you're NOT selling your home...

you will lose your mortgage tax deduction EACH YEAR under Romney! People are freaking out over that non-issue, while ignoring the fact that Romney plans to take your mortgaged deduction away.

13. Yep ... n/t

5. and repeat after me....got Romnesia?? get Obamacare....

That's all you've got to say....got Romnesia??? get Obamacare.

6. Wonder,

If this email was sent out by a democrat to make the pukes look bad, hopefully it works

[Politicalboi]

8. They don't need any help from us

They look bad because they ARE bad.

[jberryhill]

14. That would be like signing up on a political site...

...just to post baseless accusations.

15. ...

18. Remember in Westworld, you could tell the robots by their hands?

Yeah... trolls... no sense of irony whatsoever.

[TBF]

19. this

[Indpndnt]

20. Really, now?

We don't need to do idiocy like that. The repubs are stupid and depraved enough to do it, and believe it, all on their own.

[LiberalLoner]

7. I remember seeing that same lie 4 years ago

They are just digging up the same old lies.

10. Republican liars

I have found that all republicans lie. Some lie through ignorance (yes it is willful that they refuse to learn). Some lie through stupidity (these ones are unable to learn). And then their is your standard douche bag, they know what is true but lie anyway.

11. You should see the crap I'm getting in snailmail

It's an outrageous passel of lies. Apparently I somehow got on (or someone put me on) a RNC mailing list because the trash is coming fast now. And NC is a swing state so they're blanketing it with propaganda.

But yesterday, I voted Obama and I delight in sending their crap back to them and telling them so.

Also, I scan the materials and send links to the scans to the Obama campaign so they can see it.

16. Nothing that is going around in email would surprise me

I'm sure there is some nasty shit being said.

[OldDem2012]

17. Logically speaking, what the hell would Obamacare have to do with selling a home?? LOL!! nt.
