The death panel interpretation is straight out of Mein Kampf - a classic "Big Lie." A lie so colossal that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously".
They've done a great job of redefining the issue. Now it's not about healthcare, it's about being opposed to death panels. I think we can all agree, death panels would be bad.

which lie are you referring to? Is that the one where the Nazis looked at the Jews and said "death camps"? "Why, you'd have to be crazy and on the fringe to believe something like that....there are no ovens and anyone that tells you that is part of a conspiracy"..."now step over here and keep quiet"...


I think if you scored it by democrat/chicago standards(the death panel lable)...it was a huge success...

Bring on the proof then. And not some BS commentary where they are adding the the death panel fabrications, not some reference to "I heard on the radio this morning", or "Rush told me to mad about this".

Actual Section and Line numbers. With so many Conservatives talking about it, they must be referencing an exact section of the bill.

scottw, if you can show us all undeniable proof within the bill that death panels exist, and not some obtuse interpretation of vague wording, then I will not post in the Political Forum until November.

Interestingly enough, with the President who PROMISED more transparency in government, we can't find the current bill anywhere. But we can find a brilliant advertising campaign at whitehouse dot gov....

How we doing with throwing the lobbists out of Washington as promised on the campaign trail????....Oh Yeah, now they all hold cabinet level appointments as tzars without Senate oversight, thats pretty transparent....

I would miss you so much Johnny, the provision has been removed, has it not? you know, the one that never existed...if you are waiting for someone to show you the line where it states "death panel" I guess you'll be waiting a while, that was Sarah Baby's brilliant stroke., more like an ICBM...you know, like "wither on the vine", "domestic spying" I could recount a list of dem mischaracterizations and they have the mainstream media that will fully promote all of their propoganda for them for free, just think about how hard it must be for the handful of conservatives, a little cable news outlet and a few radios ,

hell, you can't even disparage a guy that spent his entire life viciously disparaging and tearing down honest and decent people for political reasons with little regard...I won't even mention his name(Chivas) for fear of being labled hateful....but...man, it sure is a one way street...

Exactly what I am saying....you had to use Google to SEARCH, why post the SPIN at Whitehouse dot gov and not a link to the bill......

Put the Kool-Aid down and no one gets hurt...
