Sarah Palin: Obama’s Insidious “Death Panel” Will Murder My Parents, Baby Trig & All Things Precious

As more Americans delve into the disturbing details of the nationalized health care plan that the current administration is rushing through Congress, our collective jaw is dropping, and we’re saying not just no, but hell no!

The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. 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.

Health care by definition involves life and death decisions. Human rights and human dignity must be at the center of any health care discussion.

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.

There is only one thing that can save old people and Down Syndrome ~~props~~ babies from the Obama’s insidious “death panel”:

America, we’ve got to make this happen. For the precious. Also.

Yes, clearly it’s better to ride for hours and hours on a variety of airplanes after you’ve gone into labor with a special-needs infant so you can deliver him at a small-town hospital rather than a big-city medical center with the finest care available. You know, “leave it in God’s hands” and all that.

Zandar Versus the Stupid has a few choice words for Sarah; his father was a developmental psychologist in a state hospital who worked with people like Trig, and Zandar (Fin, he signs himself) also volunteered there.

I learned to be grateful for what I had and grateful to others for what they could show me about the world.

But to see you denigrate those so less fortunate by using your own child as a political talking point to suggest such a brutally barbaric and horrific lie is about the most repugnant, sickening, infuriating thing I have ever seen, madam.

Know then, that there are people out there who have proven government-provided health care services work. They provide such care every day. You demean them and their service to the people through such a hideous act. You demean they people they work hard to help, some of who have Down’s Syndrome, like your son. You demean yourself as well.

Alas, we have already seen that Sarah’s most developed expertise is for being demeaning, so this would be so much noise to her.

I just don’t have enough swear word to express my disgust and contempt for this woman.

I left a note on her Facebook page calling her the Charles Manson of American politics.

I don’t know. If she cites such rational and informed experts as Thomas Sowell and Michele Bachmann, how could she be wrong? I’m going to go see what they say about this at FoxNation.com…

For once, I’d like to see the White House come out with a really tough response and call this awful woman out for being such a repugnant, ignorant liar. Palin and her supporters accuse people of “mouth-raping” her children and dishonoring the troops when they criticize or mock her, so why not call her out for using Trig as a prop in this disgusting smear? Palin is not going to win a fight with the White House or Democrats in Congress. She can’t even win a public debate with Levi Johnston.

Geez this woman is an idiot! If the situation isn’t bad enough out there with the other hate-baiters like Hannity, Rush, Beck, etc getting the nutbags in a tizzy over health care…stupid ignorant Sarah has to join the club and up the crazy another notch.

I will now hold her too responsible when terrible tragedy results from this.

Which, from the latest news flash, looks like it could real soon, as one hatriot out there is openly twittering his goons to bring their guns and get violent:

This has gone way too far.

It is bad, and I suspect it’s going to cost more than a few lives in the process.

I wish I could say otherwise, but it’s become clear that we have an entire subset of middle aged white people who simply will not accept the fact that their caucasian mediocrity does not entitle them to upward mobility.

They’re going to take out their anger on somebody. I can only hope that it ends up being one of their own.

(and yo, I’m a 37 year old white guy, just saying)

Hear, hear! I actually thought this was a parody at first—I didn’t think even Palin was capable of such an irresponsible, inflammatory statement.
