Universities that hosted Jonathan Gruber are now removing videos of the MIT professor from their websites after a series of candid admissions from the Obamacare architect ignited a firestorm against the health-care law.
Videos from college conferences and Washington think tanks over the last few years show Gruber bragging about the law’s deliberate complexity and belittling American voters’ intelligence.
Now at least two colleges who hosted the professor have tried to scrub Gruber from the internet. The University of Pennsylvania removed Gruber’s October 2013 panel appearance — in which he laughed about “the stupidity of the American voter” — on November 10, but quickly reposted the video after withering criticism.
On Monday the University of Rhode Island took a page out of Penn’s book, removing a 2012 discussion where Gruber explains how the law was passed to “exploit” the American voters’ “lack of economic understanding.” URI offered no explanation on its webpage as to why the video was pulled.
Dave LaVallee, assistant communications director at URI, told National Review Online that the university is currently investigating why the video was pulled.
Taking down the videos means it never happened in their world.
“Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat...Presto!”
We were not fooled, and we were
DEMONIZED
when we tried to tell the truth about this law and consequences.
Nope, you aren’t the only one. We knew.
Actaully I’ve lately been noticing a lot of missing files. They appear in the index but no files are found. It’s as if the files where removed and the database index was not updated, which leads to believe that files were blown away in a hurry.
They were all stored on Lois Lerner’s hard drive. Any outrageous lie will do these days. Spoon feed sugary lies to the adoring morons and voila...
If I was Gruber, I’d be worried about being erased. Why all this public opprobrium and humiliation might just drive a guy to the breaking point much like it did with Vince Foster...
Insert your favorite Barn door/ cows saying here.
Congratulations, on showing the new synonym for “GRUBER” as a noun.
guilt before who?
Judges do not pay attention to this. If anything the overwhelimingly leftist judiciary is complicit msnbc watching lapdogs of leftists.
The public.
Universities need (desperately) a massive purge of communists in their faculty and administrative ranks. The ones that are public are totally subject to such a purge.
the public is a meaningless forum. It has no conviction power penalty and the attention span of a mosquito. IOW they count on that a gruber WAS PAID to be the eventual sacrificial lamb.
Absolutely so. No time like the present with our new Congress.
Write the R Congressccritters constantly. Join your local GOP branch, speak truth firmly, make demands, hold accountable.
Someone ought to get them uploaded at Pop Modal. That is a conservative alternate to the fascism at youtube.
Doesn’t matter, got them all stashed on an external drive!
Good work! Make sure you have this one, as well....

I got my car slightly vandalized for having a "Florio Free in '93" bumpersticker. I guess that if you're pro-gun in NJ, your free speech isn't tolerated. Glad I got out of that shithole and live in Texas now. However, I don't put bumperstickers on any more because of that incident. Online...I'll say whatever I damned well please. Someone wants to "visit" with me...well, that's stalking and if someone if threatening me, just remember that I live in Texas. :>)
The stupidity of the American university.
