"Cat Food Commission"="Death Panels"
Edited on Sat Sep-04-10 08:56 AM by NJmaverick
It's remarkable how intellectually dishonest the President's critics are, no matter what side of the ideological spectrum they come from. It's like there are many on both extremes of the ideological spectrum that have a vested interest in seeing our nation fail, by taking down our President by any and all means.

2. The rwhacks are a given..

3. Do they even understand the commission has no power?
Zero, zip, nada... none!

It's just something for them to spew hate over.

4. I noticed the similarity in giving something a name
in order to rile folks up and give them something to be scared of,
which is devoid of facts, but could certainly fit on a bumper sticker.

I remember when we, on our side, used to care about facts, nuance and the grey.
Now it appears that caring about those things makes one a centrist corporatist DLC type.
Who Knew? :shrug:

6. It doesn't really make anyone who's
interested in the progress of democracy in our country a dlcer..that's al from's department. But, it does say everything about those who whip out the word as fast as hamsher whips out her red meat for fatter fundraisers.

7. People who use the term "Cat Food Commission" but complained about "Death Panels"
are HYPOCRITES of the worst kind!

And the widespread use of "Cat Food Commission" by some on the left takes away any moral high ground for the left to complain about the right using hateful, propagandistic scare tactics when it suits their needs.

Where's Keith's Special Comment decrying the use of such disgusting tactics?

It's okay for the left to use older people but not the right?

It's okay for the left to scare older people but not the right?

I'd like to see just one person from the "professional left" who had fits of outrage when Robert Gibbs mentioned them denounce the use of these Nazi propaganda tactics that far too many on the left are so eager to engage in!

9. Hey! Dontcha know it's ok for those so-called lefties to say that.
They've got "principles" so it can't be wrong to scare the elderly with "cat food commissions". :eyes:

11. Neither am I. Some on DU think he will dismantle it all together.
I mean, really. There is no evidence of that and politically, it would be the so incredibly stupid that I cannot even consider that Obama would do it. I predict that there will be an attempt to raise the cap. And that is about it.

13. Mouthful of truth from you!
Thanks, you stated the problem quite concisely, because "both extremes" are what is killing this country.

I only wish I knew, or someone knew, a way to resolve this destruction.
