Obamacare has "already saved thousands, if not millions of lives"

[HTFOff]

Carrying the water for the WH :awe:

This might be the funniest thing I've read all week.

Hip hop mogul Russell Simmons wrote of ObamaCare Thursday, "t is a damn good piece of legislation that has already saved hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives"

Maybe even trillions!

Couldn't this have gone in one of the other Obamacare threads? A silly quote from a celebrity who has absolutely no credentials to be speaking to the efficacy of a certain piece of legislation isn't particularly newsworthy, certainly not enough to justify a new thread when there are other Obamacare threads to choose from. Just my opinion, but there you go.

What's really funny is that the entire GOP platform is just as retarded as that statement.

 

[Matt1970]

Doesn't this kind of stupidity deserve it's own thread?

Weak, really weak.

You're being modest :awe:

 

[dank69]

Weak, really weak.

The day your opinion matters is the day Obamacare saves trillions of lives.

I'll tell you what's funny in a weird kind of way...that you can't even laugh about this and instead feel compelled to "retaliate" by hurling a random insult as if it's somehow a rational response.

Oh I'm laughing buddy. The statement is funny. Any GOP supporter thinking their party isn't just as retarded is even funnier.

Case in point...but you don't seem to get it and likely never will.

You lecturing anyone on what is or is not rational is another good joke.

 

[momeNt]

How come I can't find this on any mainstream news or youtube site?

Is there any proof he actually said this?

edit: oh I see "suckpost" is actually huffington post. I paraphrase googled his statement and couldn't find a single legitimate site. Weird.

I was commenting on something that you're obviously too blind to see for yourself. And now you seem to want to bring your lack of maturity into this....I'd quit now before you embarrass yourself anymore than you already have.

Doc, you can't even begin to comprehend most of my posts, and my posts aren't even that complex. I didn't need to retaliate, for the reason already outlined by AP. I did feel the need to point out how ridiculous it is for any GOP supporter to laugh about anyone saying something stupid when their party has been stuck on full-stupid-ahead for 3+ decades.

Fucking-L man.

Watch this:

http://www.ted.com/talks/jonathan_haidt_on_the_moral_mind.html

Relevant portion of the transcript: It's probably in the last 5 minutes.

So, what's the point? What should you do? Well, if you take the greatest insights from ancient Asian philosophies and religions, and you combine them with the latest research on moral psychology, I think you come to these conclusions: that our righteous minds were designed by evolution to unite us into teams, to divide us against other teams and then to blind us to the truth. So what should you do? Am I telling you to not strive? Am I telling you to embrace Seng-ts'an and stop, stop with this struggle of for and against? No, absolutely not. I'm not saying that. This is an amazing group of people who are doing so much, using so much of their talent, their brilliance, their energy, their money, to make the world a better place, to fight -- to fight wrongs, to solve problems.

I know, right? Retards everywhere are up-in-arms over being compared to Republicans.

 

[monovillage]

Why would anyone be surprised or even notice that Obama and his supporters lie about his policies? It's de rigueur for Democrats/progressives/liberals to lie about Obama and Obamacare.

 

[Zaap]

Maybe even trillions!

Yes, this! I'm going with trillions!

Go big, or go home.

Then why ignore quadrillions, quintillions, sextillions, septillions, octillions, or nonillions?
