The NY Times has one of those front page interviews today with an "average" American who vehemently opposes health insurance reform -- but isn't screaming and ranting about it. Apparently, the reporter, Kevin Sack, wants us to belive that there are some non-screamers out there who oppose reform because of their own experiences. Yet, he found a guy who just happened to parrot the right wing talking points on reform. What a coincidence:
The Colliers are committed conservatives who have voted Republican in presidential elections since 1980. They receive much of their information from Fox News, Rush Limbaugh’s radio program and Matt Drudge’s Web site.And, there's this:
“I’ve never seen the government as intrusive as it is today,” Mr. Collier said, harkening back to President Bill Clinton’s declaration that the era of big government was over.Yep. Just your average Obama-hating, FOX News-watching, Limbaugh-listening, Drudge-reading conservative Republican, who remarkably opposes health insurance reform.
“Here comes this new guy in town,” he said, “and he wants to centralize everything. He wants to take over the car companies. He wants to take over the banks. Now he wants to take over health care. It’s a power grab, and if he gets this, there’s no turning it around.”
Nice work, Kevin Sack.
