Earlier today, Stephen King tweeted that the insurance companies would love to see the Affordable Care Act repealed and replaced by — brace yourselves — the Unaffordable Care Act. Helpful Twitter folk who haven’t saved that $2,500 they were told about tried to explain that Obamacare is the Unaffordable Care Act.
King’s rejoinder? Right wingers who oppose Obamacare are the same people who believe the earth is 6,000 years old, or something. In just hours, that tweet had been retweeted by nearly a thousand people and favorited more than 1,300 times. People really like stereotypes, apparently.

It has to do with shut up, you right-wing nut job. But the question remains:
