Conservatives hate ObamaCare so much that after NSYNC tweeted a link to help inform the public about the healthcare law.

@NSYNC So your solution to “learn” about it is to direct everyone to a pro-ObamaCare website. Propaganda. Lovely.

So, here’s a warning to all you brands out there: Don’t you dare follow the law or try to educate American citizens about it, or else conservatives are gonna get you. You are not allowed to even mention it, let alone try to inform them about the law, forget endorsing it. Pretending as if you have no opinion on the law is not good enough. If you’re not a rabid hater of the law, they hate you.
On the plus side, if you have been annoyed by conservatives greedily banging on about their Medicare while decrying government run healthcare, this is your golden opportunity to lose them. All you have to do is tweet a link to the government’s website regarding a law, and presto! Conservatives will hate you so much that they’ll finally leave you alone.
And they say ObamaCare is good for nothing.
Republicans brainwashed their base a little too well against ObamaCare, especially since it was based on their own ideas. Now they’re stuck between a rock and a hard place, with a angry base that refuses to forget “death panels”.
So much for conservatives defending Ted Nugent et al with screeches about “free speech”. And who can forget how angry Republicans get when liberals use their wallet to object to political opinion like Rush Limbaugh calling Sandra Fluke a “slut”. But if a band dares to tweet a link to information about a law, well, freedom dies.
Updated: 8:26 PM to clarify that these are all of the responses, not just the negative responses from Republicans.
