One of our spies snuck into a meeting of the evil right-wing group HAARM (Healthy Americans Against Reforming Medicine) last week and uncovered a nasty plot to undermine efforts toward healthcare reform. Prepare to be shocked, disgusted and amused:
If this all sounds a bit unlikely to you, you're half-right: the video is the first in a series that Laughing Liberally, our national comedy tour at Living Liberally, has been working on with SEIU. The video is (we hope!) funny, but the situation it depicts couldn't be more serious - there are real efforts by moneyed interests, meeting as we speak, to make universal healthcare sound like a bad thing.
More videos will be rolling out in the next several days, and you can see them as they come up on the official HAARM website, or follow the HAARM crew on Twitter. The larger goal, of course, is to help pre-empt any attempts to further introduce dishonest, "Harry and Louise"-style gambits into the public debate. Thoughts on this video? Or the two additional ones we've embedded below? Let us know what you think below - thanks!
