While we’re on the topic of tracking the online reverberations of the health care bill’s passage, take a look at this new Facebook group: “10,000,000 Strong to Repeal Obamacare.” Started just three days ago, it’s grown to nearly 97,000 members as of this writing. (By comparison, Facebook groups calling for the repeal of the California ban on marriage equality, and for the repeal of Proposition 8, each have about 260,000 members.)
The group’s creator is listed as 25 year-old Johanan Raatz, who describes himself as a “Straussian Neoconservative” with “Christian – Protestant [religious views] with some neoplatonism thrown in (think C.S. Lewis).”
Meanwhile, the “No we can’t” video I noted this morning, making fun of Rep. John Boehner, is up to about 9,000 views.
