Jonathan Gruber Delivers Obamacare Deception Video Excuses to Ronan Farrow
NewsBusters ^ | November 11, 2014 | P.J. Gladnick

Young Ronan Farrow of MSNBC who won a Cronkite Journalism Award three days after appearing on the air seems to have learned a grownup word that he loves to bandy about: "nuanced."

It was that word that Farrow employed to excuse the infamous remarks by Gruber that it was important to deceive the public about Obamacare. Most of you have already seen the Gruber video since Newsbusters was the first major website to feature it but for those of you in the mainstream media who still pretend like Senator Angus King to know nothing about Jonathan Gruber, you can review the video of the Obamacare architect below before watching the Ronan Farrow fiasco:

I’m surprised that Gruber’s attorney hasn’t told him to zip it up and go into hiding. Purposely lying to the CBO about his plan could land him in jail.

If there was some sort of conspiracy to lie about the plan, how can we divine the intentions of the authors of the plan when it comes to subsidies for state exchanges? Admittedly, because the intentions of the authors were deceptive and duplicitous, they acted in bad faith. Thus, the arguments that non-state federal plans should relieve federal subsidies should be rejected because the authors intended to deceive.

Haul him and Zeke in front of congress and investigate.

But, it’s not much of a defense that Gruber’s lied to a member(s) of congress to get such an important bill into law.
Haul his a** in front of congress.

It's not a defense of him at all. The point is that it was members of Congress who submitted false information to the the CBO which should be (and probably is) an actionable criminal offense.

Why haul him in front of Congress when we have a full confession of the facts from him on video tape?

Investigate pajama boy. There is no doubt as you’ve mentioned, that there are others who have lied to the CBO. He might say something about some key people if granted immunity, as he has already openly stated things that can get him in trouble.
As congress finds that more people were involved in lying to the CBO, there will be more pressure to dismantle/repeal 0-care.

That’s fine. I’m just saying that he’s not really the one who is legally culpable for what gets submitted to the CBO. I could be wrong but I suspect that that is only done by a Congress critter and it would be a matter of record so there is no need to ask him who did it. He doesn’t set House or Senate protocol or ethics and he doesn’t keep congressional records.

Perfect Quote

Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a
way that you can quickly understand them. This quote
came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has
it figured out. It was translated into English from an
article in the Prague newspaper Prager Zeitungon:

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a
citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the
Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the
follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the
necessary common sense and good judgment to a
depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their
president. The problem is much deeper and far more
serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what
ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not
blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made
him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack
Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely
to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made
him their president.”

An arrogant punk like many academics building empires out of words that have little relationship to the real world - the real irony is that the American voters, as stupid as they may be, saw through this toxic program and disapproved it from the beginning - apparently Gruber is more stupid than they are....

Talk about "nuance" - I love this:

GRUBER: This is something that we have seen actually going back to the Clinton and Bush presidencies...

I KNEW it! Delve deeply enough and you're nuanced into the fact that 0bamacare was BUSH'S FAULT! Is there no end to the perfidy of this man?
