During the course of the last week, you may have wondered why anti-health care reform activists are so riled up–what buttons are being pushed by the people encouraging the town hall disruptions.
Well, here’s video footage of a Patients First bus tour event in Pueblo, CO, that shines some light on that.
Patients First is a project of Americans for Prosperity–one of the key conservative interests groups helping to organize the town hall protests we’ve been covering. The speaker repeats the debunked conservative canard that Democratic health care reform will mandate physician assisted suicide. “Adolf Hitler issued six million end of life orders–he called his program the final solution. I kind of wonder what we’re going to call ours.”
And after comparing Democratic health care reform efforts to the murderous regimes of Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot, the speaker advises his audience to “go to offices of members of Congress and put the fear of god in them.”
