I am literally shaking with rage.
This.
Is.
The.
Last.
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.
As Wizbang astutely notes, Sarah Palin’s internet commentary is totally validated by the internet commentary of people who go around validating Sarah Palin on the internet. Q.E.D. The self-correcting blogosphere has proclaimed it so.
So, Obama’s “death panel” will decide who to dies based on “level of productivity in society”? I thought all us useless people were going to be on welfare! I thought the “death panels” were to weed out Whitey, infidels, and our brave troops protecting our freedom overseas! The Gay Koran is pretty damn clear about how socialist death panels are supposed to work, but maybe there was some miscommunication, and Big Gay Allah ended up sounding like Ayn Fucking Rand. Is that how it went down, Obama, you lying piece of shit? How did it go, exactly, pray?: did Allah stutter, Obama, or did your big motherfucking ears flap? I guess when Obama was making all those secret campaign pledges, he was just playing us all for fools.
Fucking great. I guess we can forget about putting Osama bin Laden on the Supreme Court, too. Just great. Now I have to get this “Obama: THE ONE” full-back tribal tattoo removed. Obamacare probably won’t pay for that, either.
I feel so used.

I call performance artist. Palin’s already wiped dogshit all over herself, metaphorically speaking. Just wait until she explains her health care proposal through the use of interpretative dance. You’ll see. You’ll all see.
August 10, 2009 at 7:46 pm
I don’t know how much more of this my liver can take.
August 10, 2009 at 8:20 pm
PLEASE DON’T LET OBAMA KILL SAY-RUH’S ‘TARDED BABY!

The extermination of old people and retards if nothing other than Obarma’s plan to fix the economy.
He will use the savings in social security and the money from the death tax to fund ACORN and buy votes for his 2nd term.
No wonder there are violent protest at the town hall meetings. Are you going to sit down and let this nationalist socialist (a.k.a nazi) regime kill your elderly mother or retarded babies?
Plenty more comedy gold where that came from.

/i dammit.
August 10, 2009 at 9:29 pm
It’s all very well to have a laugh over this, but…
Oh, fuck it. Let’s laugh at stupidity, even as it organizes and kills us. I honestly no longer even care. We all gotta go some time, right? Might as well be at the hands of a stupid person.
August 10, 2009 at 11:39 pm
Totally awesome, America is going to have awesome health care like Australia and then you too can surf on the governments money!
August 10, 2009 at 11:56 pm
Death Panel is the name of my anti-Obama Rockabilly Band. Our first EP “Productivity in Society” is set to drop at 3:30AM during Mike Huckabee’s Show. We have an all learnign disabled band, we’re doing to shoot them all in the face after the show! So send your checks to Dick Morris so he can by more hair color. Declare a fatwah ohn Obamanamaananama!
August 11, 2009 at 1:34 am
peorgie: OMG you’re right the Death Tax! How did I not see it before? After Hussein Obama X personally sends everyone “unproductive” out to sea on an iceberg he’ll tax them, and then he’ll probably spend their money on immigrants or “health care” or something!
August 11, 2009 at 3:42 am
Yeah, well. Maybe Billy Tauzin’ll sign off on an effective response, and look out then.
August 11, 2009 at 5:28 am
I’m the fucking Secretary of State, you can ask Bill what he thinks and I’m gonna tell you what the fuck I think but I’m not going to fucking channel my husband. Are we going this way third world journalist, because I didn’t think you were ready to go this way when you went. Blao-blao- kakakaka.

Yes, Palin brings teh stupid in buckets. And the media simply echoes it without pointing out that it’s false. I watched Savannah Guthrie on NBC Nightly News two nights in a row as she “reported” on healthcare reform. Both were textbook examples of Krugman’s “Shape of Earth: Views Differ” formulation.
Insane right-wing lunatics were put on camera spouting all the crazy about how Obama will be putting grandma to death and government will be deciding what you can put in your fridge. Savannah then “informed” the viewer that “some Democrats dispute this.” Way to go!
Shaking with rage? No, I’m quaking with fear. Our country has literally become too stupid to survive.
August 11, 2009 at 7:55 am
Teh Editors has astutely anticipated the next meme we’ll be seeing any minute now, which is that Obama’s Death Panels will be tres Affirmative Action, and you will get special bonus points for being mixed race or Kenyan.
With people this stupid, how did we make it for 233 years?
August 11, 2009 at 9:33 am
Because up until about 1975, we had a media that worked hard to inform the public, to sift bullshit from fact. It’s mission was to “afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted.”
No more. Media’s mission now seems to be to make sure everyone is as mal-informed as possible. Looking around me, all I can say is “Mission Accomplished!”
August 11, 2009 at 11:48 am
Here’s where I’m confused. Don’t conservatives complain all the time about us lazy entitlement whores who don’t represent any productive value to America? Aren’t they the ones constantly frothing about “pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps” and “personal responsibility” and all that? You’d think they’d be 1,000 percent on board with getting rid of anyone whose “level of productivity in society” doesn’t meet their standards. Whatever the hell those standards are, anyway.
August 11, 2009 at 4:52 pm
It’s opposite millennium. Liberals are fascists.
August 11, 2009 at 12:40 pm
What? Thomas Sowell is an economist? No Way.
August 11, 2009 at 2:54 pm
Damn I want the retards and they who should never have been born EXPOSED AT BIRTH! That was the deal as I understood it. Right out of Big Gay ‘The 300′ Sparta, dontcha know.
August 11, 2009 at 3:48 pm
Does this mean I miss out on my Man Date with the One?
August 11, 2009 at 4:42 pm
It’s not really a Panel of Death; more a Focus Group of Death.
August 11, 2009 at 4:51 pm
Ha!

I’d like to nominate Channing Tatum for the death panel in the Best Actor in a Musical category.

Since the “Death Tax” only affects really rich people, couldn’t those people afford private care?
If the government wasn’t already supplying those people with health care, how would it save he gov’t any money for them to die? If you’re too poor to take anything other than government medical assistance even on death’s door, aren’t you too poor for taxing your “estate” to bring in any money?
In fact, wouldn’t the “death tax” be an incentive for rich old people to spend their money on expensive treatments trying to keep themselves alive rather than let the government take it? Better your private non-Obamacare doctor get the money than the government. That would be a free-market way to drive more money into medical innovation (read: keeping rich old people alive and tumescent).
I’m sorry, I get that Obama is Hitler and all that jazz, but they lost me on the death tax thing.
August 11, 2009 at 9:15 pm
Since the moran-America is gonna bitch endlessly about fictitious death panels, we might as well give them real death panels. I say take a poll:
We has Death Panels?
A: Yah, rly!!! ZOMG!
B: No, not rly
Anybody who answers “A” goes before the death panel to justify their existence!
