FreedomWorks To Young People: Burn Your Obamacare Card!

Stephen Colbert has a great takedown of FreedomWorks' nonsensical campaign to thwart Obamacare: Have young people burn their Obamacare cards! You know, like the protest movement of the '60s, when young people burned their draft cards? One problem: There's no such thing as an Obamacare card. That doesn't stop FreedomWorks, though. They plan to design such a card and put it online so that people can "burn it, tear it up, mark on it." Colbert points out that they can do this after they download it, print it, cut it, and laminate it.



If FreedomWorks (Koch-sponsored "godfather of the Tea Party movement") want to appropriate the imagery of popular protest movements from the past, here's Colbert's helpful suggestion:

FreedomWorks is opening up a whole new world of fighting symbols of injustice that don't exist. You know what? They should rent a bus, order themselves to sit at the back of the bus, then refuse to sit at the back of their own bus! Fight the power!
