You just can't make this stuff up .. Now the airheads think thier bank accounts will be tapped

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A woman asked Rep. Allen Boyd at a town hall meeting the other day if health care reform proposals would force people to let the government access their bank accounts.
False rumors about health care have been aired at town hall meetings, like this one in Maryland last week.

"That's not true," the Florida Democrat responded. "When someone sends you something on the Internet that sounds crazy, how about just checking it a little bit?"

The CNN Truth Squad, which fact-checks political claims, has debunked the bank-access rumor as false. Yet that claim, and others that have been disproved, keep coming up in the national debate on health care reform, inflaming an already emotional issue.

:banghead:

about two weeks ago.

who air false rumors about the issue dujour chuckling uncontrollably when they read posts like yours. Those lemmings will swallow anything and they are making us millionaires.

We have failed miserably with our reeducation camps.

those FEMA camps? I thought it was to replace the ineffective re-education camps and provide a nice centralized spot for the Death-Panels to get to work?

We want the power of surprise. The latest is that most of the "camps" will be located in red states.

check your code link to find out what month "October" is.

Red October?????

Illegal aliens get a pass on this one so they can make as many children as they can. They all vote Democrat, don'tcha know.

at several Town Hall meetings all around the country lately. She's probably part of the RNC Traveling Road Show. We need to start taking pics of all these loonies who make these ludicrous statements and ask these ridiculous questions. Their only purpose is to throw their verbal gasoline on the flames of the paranoia of the unenlightened.

Everyone bitches when I want to deport people, but seriously, can't we deport these people? It's the most humane way of making them go away for good.

What country is evil enough to wish these people on?

Or Africa.

Let's put Tarzan to the test. Lets see if white people dropped in Africa with nothing but their innate superiority would actually come to rule the animals, the jungle, and the natives.

I'll bet you didn't even know my name really is Alice. :rofl:

They used to like to say 'America, love it or leave it'.
Now's their chance to practice what they preach.

Maybe they'll start putting their cash under their mattresses.

Hell, Maybe I will.

has been doing a pretty damn poor job of informing people and correcting the misinformation. Releasing half assed and inconsistent information doesn't help debunk the myths and you can't blame the right for every person who is misunderstanding this cluster. One day we hear one thing, the next day something else. Listen to this Administration insider and hear this, listen to that one and get something different or at least somewhat conflicting. No one can stay on message.

Also have to consider where people are getting this information. TV? See above paragraph. Local newspapers perhaps with a slant and omit some details. I am lucky to have two newspapers to read here, Washington Post which generally leans left and Washington Times which leans right. I can read about the same thing in each and get two different slants because both leave out information or list incomplete quotes to lead people. I for one like hearing both sides and make my own decision.

They could go onto the internet and try to find accurate news sources but even then it's difficult. Just as the papers, some lean right, others lean left and god help them if they ask in a forum. If they come here it would be a never ending assault of 'freeptard' accusations, or 'stop listening to FAUX news.. they get nothing right and only freepers listen', 'You must be a conservaturd and don't belong here'...etc. If they are pointed to one that leans right to ask questions they will receive no better and poor misinformed person is now pissed, frustrated and instead of not knowing what to believe now doesn't want to believe anyone.

Is anyone really surprised at the sheer amount of misinformation or lack of understanding?

I'm not sure there's ANY 'left leaning' major paper in DC.

freeze and in some cases seize your bank accounts?

geesh!! some level of friggin comprehension or SOMETHING. where are these people getting this baloney from.

I demand mandatory sex change operations!

morAn was holding the sign to protest the Pubic Option!

:rofl:

LMAO at this.

like our 401k's, pension fund investments, and home equity disappeared by 1/2 to pay Cheney's wars, and fill up the warprofitteers war chests. That was ok? Now the wingnuts are on the train to Crazytown, on false rumors of tapping into bank accounts? Our accounts have already been tapped. The top 1%of the richest 1% are set for generations. Insane.
