With the escalating standard of Republican craziness and whackadoodlism over recent days, I’d been wondering if Sarah Palin would feel pressed to get back into the game, if for no other reason than to defend her brand as chief Republican moonbat.
And I think my question has been answered.
Palin is now out claiming that Obama’s “death panel” might decide to euthanize her Down syndrome baby.
Rep. Brian Baird (D-WA) received a fax containing the Obama-as-Joker picture and this message: “Death to All Marxists! Foreign and Domestic!” The Secret Service may now be investigating it. That and other political news in today’s TPMDC Saturday Roundup.
Health care is the big topic on the Sunday shows — especially that whole Sarah Palin “death panel” thing. That and other political news in today’s TPMDC Sunday Roundup.
Teabaggers say they want their country back. But Afro-Arab socialists have only had it for like 6 months. Can’t they wait their turn?
I keep hearing good things about this book Israel Is Real by Rich Cohen. Now MJ Rosenberg says so too.
Alas, not on Kindle yet. But what can you do.
Late Update: On the other hand, this review would seem to present a severe and impossible to ignore corrective.
The health care reform battle is putting Obama’s grassroots political operation — Organizing for America — to the test. That and the day’s other political news in the TPMDC Morning Roundup.
This would appear to be as far as the Post is willing to go on Sarah Palin’s ‘death panel’ canard …
Conservative talk-radio shows have raised the prospect of euthanasia based on a provision to reimburse doctors through Medicare for counseling sessions about end-of-life directives.
And comments posted on former Alaska Republican governor Sarah Palin’s Facebook page Friday said that people would 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.”
There are no such “death panels” mentioned in any of the House bills.
