Chances are looking pretty good, actually. It was just a few hours ago that a fifth video emerged of Jonathan Gruber, one of the main architects of Obamacare, this time dismissing a comment by a concerned citizen by asking if it was “written by my adolescent children by any chance?” And now a sixth video has surfaced.
We’re nearing the point at which there will be more Gruber videos than “Fast & Furious” movies.

The fact that @JakeTapper and @CNN just released the 6th (!) Gruber video is a gamechanger: http://t.co/zX2mstcv0b pic.twitter.com/9JH0dshskw

Welcome to the party, CNN.
So, does Gruber just lie in this one, or does he outright insult the American electorate again, or both? This video concerns tax credits for employer-based health insurance, and as Gruber admits, “the only way we could get rid of it was first by mislabeling it, calling it a tax on insurance plans rather than a tax on people when we all know it’s a tax on people who hold those insurance plans.”

Yup. #Gruber let slip that taxing corporations, etc. is actually a tax on the consumer. http://t.co/cVWuqRe1Et The left always denies this.

@RBPundit GOP needs to "Todd Akin" the shit out of this and ask EVERY LIBERAL whether they agree or don't agree
— SCIENCE!! (@RaschDecisions) November 14, 2014
@RBPundit Every discussion…every debate…every encounter should start with this question of agreeing on this indirect taxation
— SCIENCE!! (@RaschDecisions) November 14, 2014
@RBPundit @MelissaTweets It's just a little white Gruber. Not lie those nasty Gruber's that your enemies tell about you.

Purposely “mislabeling” it to get rid of it?
If companies mislabel food, they get fined by the government. When government mislabels taxes, we get Obamacare http://t.co/bYYke14uGg

@jaketapper Can you imagine how history might have been changed had the media been doing it's job the past 6 years? #Gruber #GruberGate
— paulyballgame ?? (@paulyballgame) November 14, 2014
Frankly, no.
@jaketapper My question: Why are we just now finding out about this?
— Wayne Nall Jr (@waynenalljr) November 14, 2014
How embarrassing is it for the media that these Gruber videos didn't come out earlier? They cited him as THE guy to listen to for years.

Well, it was an important election year with bigger issues to talk about, like Big Bird and binders full of women.
@jaketapper @CNNPolitics amazing. Don't democrats have like an island they send this guy to for a few years?
— Ben White (@morningmoneyben) November 14, 2014
@jaketapper @CNNPolitics geez…. I can barely keep up with the videos now.
