Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
President Barack Obama will host a healthcare town hall meeting in Grand Junction on Saturday in an attempt to counter disinformation being circulated by citizens who apparently love the fact that millions of people remain uninsured and rates for the rest of us continue to grow at a shocking pace. Lucky for him, he’ll find lots of such dubious rhetoric in G.J. if the video above is any indication. The clip starts off with a lengthy introduction featuring, among other things, excerpts from 1976’s Logan’s Run, a sci-fi flick in which everyone is exterminated at age thirty, before offering footage of an anti-Obamacare rally held in Grand Junction circa late July, at which a picket sign read, “D.N.C. Lies: Grandma Dies.” Enjoy Western Colorado, Mr. President.
