Via TPM, Republicans are now running around frantically saying the ACA is The Biggest Tax in History. Naturally, it’s a whopper and it’s a doozy. But, it’s nowhere near the biggest whopper ever told this year by the usual liars for Jesus, or even the biggest lie about healthcare.

The Biggest Tax
It’s not a tax and it’s not the biggest. And I’m pretty sure they’re lying about “The,” also.
The Republican base won’t be happy until they’re dying in their own squalid filth, free from such onerous burdens as mandatory healthcare and the infrastructure that a society requires to survive.
You have to give the right credit. One thing they are really good at is staying on message and keeping discipline. Every conservative talking head is repeating the “biggest tax increase evah!” lie and will continue to do so until it is the new conventional wisdom.
