Sean Hannity Gets Fact-Checked Hard On Obamacare Claims

This is a foreshadowing of what is to come, the Tea Buggers(ed) will lap this up as Fax News lies and next year for the elections, the favorably of Obama Care will be basically where it is today; the 30% of the electorate that are Faux News watchers will still disapprove of it and ! ~ 50% will still approve. And note, all the lying families used on Hannity's show were R3d N3ck / Southern Tea Buggers(ed), typical.

Also note that this is in the same vein as the shit posted here by our resident Tea Buggers(ed), anecdotal stories than can mostly be dismissed by having a cursory understanding of the law.

The future of the Obama Care debate is going to be just like the 2012 election - The Faux News crowd is going to be convinced that their facts regarding the laws and it effects are true when in reality it will be the opposite. Living in this echo chamber will once again make them easier to defeat and it will be hilarious to watch!

"Stern accused the Fox News host of using "fake evidence" to "exploit people’s ignorance and falsely point to imaginary boogeymen," deeming it all a part of the "Fox News lie machine."

Paul Cox and his wife Michelle, for example, appeared on the show claiming that their construction business has been hit hard because of Obamacare, giving them no choice but to significantly cut employee hours. Stern noted that Obamacare has no effect on any business with less than 50 employees.

"In our brief conversation on the phone, Paul revealed that he has only four employees. Why the cutback on his workforce? “Well,” he said, “I haven’t been forced to do so, it’s just that I’ve chosen to do so. I have to deal with increased costs.” What costs? And how, I asked him, is any of it due to Obamacare? There was a long pause, after which he said he’d call me back. He never did."

The two other couples interviewed by Stern both claimed that the new policies offered by Obamacare would cost them considerably more than their previous insurance rates. After doing his own search on the Obamacare exchange website based on the couples' circumstances, Stern found that this was just not true.

"I don’t doubt that these six individuals believe that Obamacare is a disaster; but none of them had even visited the insurance exchange," Stern wrote. "Hannity is not entitled to point to Paul’s behavior as an “Obamacare train wreck story” and maintain any credibility that he might have as a journalist."

Over the next year this foretells what is to come. The Faux News crowd will cite to themselves, "facts" showing how Obama Care is a disaster. It will convince no one but will simply reinforce their already held beliefs - just like in the run up to the 2012 presidential election. The 30% of the Tea Buggers(ed) will still oppose it.

But it won't matter to them because of the Dunning - Krueger effect!

As I said... Good thing I have NEVER referenced or used ANYTHING related to Fox or Sean Hannity.

Now what do you want to know about Strawman arguments?
 


















YOU, Fighting against Sean Hannity and Fox, when NOBODY but you, has ever ONCE even referred to Fox or Sean Hannity is THE DEFINITION OF A STRAWMAN ARGUMENT.

Just like your definition of what is "American" and what is "religious" that this is a use of a Straw man" is only in your little, not very informed, mind.

So this post either proves that you don't even know what the definition of a Straw man is or that you are disputing the generally accepted definition of what Straw man means and thus again, displaying that you are a great example of the Dunning - Krueger effect.

"Straw man

A straw man or straw person, also known in the UK as an Aunt Sally,[1][2] is a common type of argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[3] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and to refute it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.[3][4] This technique has been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly in arguments about highly charged, emotional issues. In those cases the false victory is often loudly or conspicuously celebrated."

EXACTLY.... You completely misrepresent EVERYBODY'S position. ALL you do is fight FOX, RELIGION, HANNITY, THE SOUTH, EVERYTHING but what I am saying.

I have never quoted Hannity. I don't go to church. I am not from the south. I have never used Fox as a source for anything. Yet ALL you do is obsess on these things. These things have NOTHING TO DO WITH ME OR MY ARGUMENTS. Thus a STRAW MAN.

Class dismissed.
