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<\/a> and insurance company-sponsored Astroturf mobs<\/a> at town hall<\/a> meetings. It makes me sick that public discourse is disrupted by blatant<\/a>, deliberate lies<\/a> and threats of violence towards politicians and Obama-backing union members<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Of course, Palin had to pipe in with her two cents of deranged foolishness:<\/p>\n

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<\/a>” 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.<\/b><\/p>\n

Invoking Michele Batshit Bachmann sure is a sound way to solidify your point, Palin:<\/p>\n

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.<\/b><\/p>\n

Palin, you are a fucking moron<\/a>. Shut up. You shame us all with your stupid.<\/p>\n

Even Politico is in on the Stupid<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So many people are shaming us all with stupid. Like this gem<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Patients First is a project of Americans for Prosperity\u2013one of the key conservative interests groups helping to organize the town hall protests we\u2019ve been covering. The speaker repeats the debunked conservative canard that Democratic health care reform will mandate physician assisted suicide. \u201cAdolf Hitler issued six million end of life orders\u2013he called his program the final solution. I kind of wonder what we\u2019re going to call ours.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

And after comparing Democratic health care reform efforts to the murderous regimes of Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot, the speaker advises his audience to \u201cgo to offices of members of Congress and put the fear of god in them.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Really? Godwin\u2019s Law? Has the Republican party become the internetz?<\/p>\n

Ugh, fuck it. Can’t bring myself to post more, I’m too revolted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
