A top ten trending topic on Twitter now is ``#Obamacarefacts''. If you are looking for some levity in the fight over the public option, I recommend you check it out.
The conservatives created the name `obamacare' for health care reform, and have been posting all kinds of nonsense about what this entails on twitter under this (Hash)tag.
I believe they created #obamacarefacts to further the fun. The trouble is that it has been taken over by snarky lefties posting the most outrageous claims about what health care reform entails. A difficulty is that the fake wingnut claims border on self-parody themselves!
Here is one example, posted by Cowcaster, more below the fold:
Cowcaster Under ObamaCare, people who weren't even born in this country will raise your taxes to pay for socialist health care.

UPDATE The hashtag was started to mess with the obamacare crowd by Jon Rosenberg. Thanks Ray Radlein in the comments.
