There is no truth now, nor has there ever been any truth to the idea that the government encourages euthanasia or infanticide. The media gives this claim credibility simply by repeating it.
Exhortations to take armed political action against Obama reflect a deeply developed ideology that has been actively promoted by gun lobby groups for 30 years.
Why didn't we listen?!? We have obtained footage of Barack Obama's Death Panel passing subjective judgment on Sarah Palin's parents and child. I warn you, the footage is shocking.
The slew of anti-Obama slanders from the right has forced much of the mainstream media (who should know better) to spend time and coverage refuting false claims. This just ends up giving credence to the silly charges.
I've lived in Europe for 20 years; my son has had juvenile diabetes for seven of those. The cost of all that health care over seven years: zero. I've seen the European system up close -- it works.
Why is it that in life's most personal and private moments--sexuality, conception, birth and the dying process--the party that says it governs least always governs most?
So there is nothing new about Mediscare-style arguments, rambunctious and easily manipulated populists, or Astroturf-style mobilizations. But there is something about this debate that feels different, something more intense.

With Obama scheduled to promote health insurance reform at a town hall meeting, both the network of lobbyist-fueled "tea-party" activists and progressives are ramping up their organizing.
Let's put our eye back on the ball. Focus on ourselves. Let the banks fail, but the people succeed. Survive the re-set in the economy, which I believe is permanent, by getting in shape.
The person who has demanded that her children be off limits, while parading them around, just used her Down Syndrome baby as another circus prop by writing for a national audience how he could be killed by the government.
This is not about the pros and cons of the health care debate. That's politics. This is about the ethics of a "debate" which has deteriorated into an Us vs. Them shouting match.
You really nail the craziness and demagoguery here, perfectly!! Touche! I hope this will be reprinted and circulated. Though I'm not sure the real "victims" ever get how they're being spun around by this garbage.
