Right-Wing Attacks Gay Obama Administration Official

Fox News/Right-Wing Media Target Kevin Jennings, "Gay Czar"
Looks like the next target of Fox News and the right-wing "czar" witch-hunt is Kevin Jennings, an official appointed by Obama in the Dept. of Education to over see "safer schools." Sean Hannity has falsely claimed that Jennings has ties to NAMBLA (he doesn't) and that he counseled a 15 year old who had a relationship with an older man (he was 16, which is above the age of consent in MA).

Media Matters is keeping track of these right-wing smears and lies.

Corporate-Backed "Tea-Baggers" Sabotage Democratic Healthcare Townhall Meetings

The medical-insurance corporate profiteers are launching an all-out guerilla war on serious health care reform.

Unable to pass health care reform before their August recess, Democrats in Congress have allowed the insurance companies an d anti-reform lobbyists to expand their campaign of lies against a public option for health insurance. Anti-reform groups, like "Conservatives for Patients Rights" (led by former insurance executive Rick Scott) have teamed up with the anti-Obama right-wing "tea-baggers" to sabotage the townhall meetings being held by Democratic representatives during the August recess.

Right-Wing Lies

Boy the right-wing lie machine is kicking into high gear to stop real health care reform!

The latest right-wing talking point is that the Democratic healthcare plan will force seniors to see a counselor about how to to end their lives! Obama and the Democrats want to KILL old people! Of course it is all a LIE:

----
All the right-wing LIES are paying off since the public is not turning against Obama's Healthcare Plan. The Obama administration and Democrats have allowed the opponents to dominate the public debate, and the media have been accomplices in silencing single-payer advocates and focusing on the conservative opposition and their propaganda against any public healthcare plan.

Republicans and the Media Allies have used FEAR, fear of a "government takeover" and Socialism to misinform and scare people away from health care reform.
