Palin Was For "Death Panels" Before She Was Against Them

Think Progress:

In recent weeks, right-wing groups have been pushing the myth that health care reform will somehow kill seniors. One of the most high profile voices pushing this lie has been Sarah Palin, who claimed President Obama will institute bureaucratic "death panels." Today, again on her Facebook page, she continued the attack. Though some Republicans have rebuffed this absurd, inaccurate notion -- like Johnny Isakson (R-GA), who called such talk "nuts" -- others, like Newt Gingrich, have piled on to agree with Palin.

Is this woman ever going to go away? She's nuts.

To be a 'hypocrite' for expressing opposing views on the same subject, must one actually *understand* the issue?

I sometimes wonder if poor Sarah is just too challenged in the gray matter department to be held fully accountable for her outlandish statements and acts but then I remind myself that she's actually mean-spirited and vindictive. Carry on, truth-tellers!

Who cares

This woman should be ashamed of herself. Because of her insane rantings, seniors who can barely afford to eat will now have to scrape up money to pay to have a "Living Will" drawn up. Palin has effectively ensured that some seniors without "Living Wills" will be kept on life support against their wills and all the while they'll be running up huge bills that will be paid for by the same dim bulbs Palin is pandering to.

Alaskas Death Panels-- Sarah Palins legacy.

"The situation is so bad the federal government has forbidden the state to sign up new people until the state makes necessary improvemen­ts."..."In one 2 1/2 year stretch, 227 adults already getting services died"..."N­o other state in the nation is under such a moratorium"

The republicans have sunk to an all-time low when their leader
is a quitter who can only communicate misinformation through
facebook.

She does everything wrong.

SP is a "a small snowball!"

Thank you for your utterly silly opinions, Madam Bellatrix Lestrange. Give our regards to Lord Voldemort and the rest of the Death Eaters. But don't expect that popular amnesia and talking with both of your tongues will get the GOP magically back into political power. We the people will be the gatekeepers to power, as the Founding Fathers intended.

Par for the course!!

kin of like when she was for the bridge to nowhere before she was against it. Why do we continue to see articles about this DUMB man

And since when did the "Christian sect" become so PRO Corporation? If they are not supporting a government plan that is "By the people and for the people" they are supporting a corporate entity of which they have ZERO control over. ZERO
