A White House aide set off a stampede of liberal media criticism for Internet news pioneer Matt Drudge over Obamacare but his critics don't seem to understand how small businesses pay taxes. The brouhaha started when Drudge tweeted, Just paid the Obamacare penalty for not 'getting covered'... I'M CALLING IT A LIBERTY TAX. Jesse Lee, the Director of Progressive Media at Barack Obama's White House, responded that that was a Flat lie, no fee for previous year, adding, Scary how much influence he once had. Lees response to Drudge set off a firestorm in the liberal media, with many mainstream media and left-wing reporters countering him on Twitter and in their own articles to claim he does not have to pay Obamacares Individual Mandate tax until next year. The individual mandate went into effect Jan. 1 of this year, and most people paying their taxes right now are paying taxes for 2013. Dude, there's no penalty until next yr, Sahil Kapur

Having been caught in a bonehead error, the lefties are now casting about, suggesting POSSIBLE scenarios where Drudge MIGHT have been wrong - maybe he doesn't have enough employees to meet the mandate, blah, blah - but, lefties, isn't it an INDIVIDUAL mandate?
Complete disgrace and embarrassment for the left. However, since they have no shame, they will just do it agains as soon as they can.

They brought more attention by attacking drudge, than if they had ignored him.
the left just can’t help themselves.
