In a Facebook posting late Wednesday night, Palin argued that the elderly and ailing would be coerced into accepting minimal end-of-life care to reduce health care costs based on the Democratic bill in the House. She criticized President Barack Obama who has said the legislation would not create "death panels" or "basically pull the plug on grandma because we decided that it's too expensive to let her live anymore."

MORON! THAT'S WHAT INSURANCE COMPANIES DO ALREADY!!!

1. that anybody pays attention to this creationist cretin is almost beyond comprehension

[elocs]

7. Here at DU apparently there are those who obsess and hang on her every word.

Repeating them over and over. Remember a year ago when Obama got the nomination and gave a great acceptance speech? Most of what you read here after McCain picked his running mate was thread after thread about Palin, but not so much about that great speech.

The Palin obsession continues here.

14. There's a reason, because she'll run for president in 2012 and get repug support

It's not a baseless fascination, she's the front-running repug right now, just a few rigged votes away from the White House. It can happen, it already happened in every election since 2000.

15. Right, and they knew that last year when she got the vp pick?

Mention Palin on DU and you're off to the races. Post after post of people mostly saying the same things over and over. It is baseless fascination. She doesn't merit all of the attention she constantly gets here.

3. Somebody needs to hurry up and throw water on her already

"I'm melting!!!"

4. When is this moron

going to make up her mind? This is - what - her take on this nonsense?

5. I'm sure she's willing to quote the passage in the bill, right?

No?

6. what happened to Trig?

she said last time that Obama was going to put him down like a rabid opossum. Now she's only talking about old folks.

[EOTE]

9. Trig, unfortunately, didn't make it.

Someone needs to be a guinea pig for the upcoming death panels. If Palin had just shut her stupid mouth, she might have saved her child that awful fate. On the plus side, we've found out that Down Syndrome children make awfully tasty Soylent Green.

10. Trig is DEAD???

Oh Noes!

8. lying is reported in the news the same as the truth...i don't think lying matters anymore.

hence, neither does the truth.

11. Obama is rearing his head!!

You Betcha! Death panels...Obama yessiree...

12. Insurance

The same folks who routinely pull plugs, as well as shorten life in ten thousand other ways, obviously pay her well.

Palin had better be thankful there is no Death Panel. While I like to stay human, and a, against the death penalty, I would find it hard to weep if she was put down to keep her inferior genetics out of the gene pool.

Then again, if we were to go into eugenics, like Prescott Bush, we would need to eliminate many more people. Fortunately, they would be easy to spot, as the refuse tends to go to certain churches, whose real estate holdings could be converted to a better purpose as mass graves/death camps/garbage dumps.

See Sarah, I just made something up!

They suck. Bigtime.
