Rob Schaaf Stars In Bizarre Anti-Reform Ad: “I Guess I’m A Racist”

For your Monday morning amusement/confusion, here's one of the least persuasive anti-reform commercials imaginable, starring Rep. Rob Schaaf (R-St. Joseph):

The goal of the ad seems pretty straightforward, though bizarre: to convince opponents of health care reform that they’re somehow oppressed by the 12% of people who told Rasmussen right after the August tea party insanity that some portion of opponents were motivated by racism.  And with the solidarity that comes with such persecution, maybe they can rally together to stop the “total government take-over of the healthcare system” (another ridiculous claim).

Schaaf’s whining about being the victim of crazy rhetoric is more than a little ironic, given his defiant comparison of government health care programs for children to the American slavery system in March.
