For fuck’s sake, people, no one wants to kill your goddamn granny.
I’ve been choking on my own tongue almost every time I see coverage of health care reform. I’m choking on Medicaid recipients decrying socialized medicine and insurance company-sponsored Astroturf mobs at town hall meetings. It makes me sick that public discourse is disrupted by blatant, deliberate lies and threats of violence towards politicians and Obama-backing union members.
Of course, Palin had to pipe in with her two cents of deranged foolishness:
The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.
Invoking Michele Batshit Bachmann sure is a sound way to solidify your point, Palin:
Rep. Michele Bachmann highlighted the Orwellian thinking of the president’s health care advisor, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of the White House chief of staff, in a floor speech to the House of Representatives. I commend her for being a voice for the most precious members of our society, our children and our seniors.
Palin, you are a fucking moron. Shut up. You shame us all with your stupid.
Even Politico is in on the Stupid.
So many people are shaming us all with stupid. Like this gem:
Patients First is a project of Americans for Prosperity–one of the key conservative interests groups helping to organize the town hall protests we’ve been covering. The speaker repeats the debunked conservative canard that Democratic health care reform will mandate physician assisted suicide. “Adolf Hitler issued six million end of life orders–he called his program the final solution. I kind of wonder what we’re going to call ours.”
And after comparing Democratic health care reform efforts to the murderous regimes of Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot, the speaker advises his audience to “go to offices of members of Congress and put the fear of god in them.”
Really? Godwin’s Law? Has the Republican party become the internetz?
Ugh, fuck it. Can’t bring myself to post more, I’m too revolted.
