You just gotta laugh at Wonkette's treasury of old people who might die under new health plans.
I am sure those who truly believe in death panels and death books think this is a compliment to them and those like them. I think some are just so far out of it now to catch its intent.

The pictures are funny and pathetic at the same time. How did we get to this place in our country?

A children's treasury of insane old people that Zeke Emaneual should euthanize



Getting tired of THIS STUFF, aren’t you? Well, suck it up. At this point, we want to pressure Obama and Congress to incorporate as much rationing and Death Paneling as possible into a final health care bill, with very loose criteria. You’re eligible for Medicare, human? KILL. This will be the single determining criterion. It will save us so much money, for sexy parties. So along with the old racist up top, we will now present a few other candidates for Death Panels, from a recent town hall protest in Dallas. Thank you to operative “Lisa” for these freaking gross images.

The first rule of Death Panels is that if you complain about Death Panels… then you go before the Death Panels.




This is ridiculous stuff these seniors are doing, inane and sickening.

There is a letter to the editor today in a nearby paper. I read it and thought just how powerful Rush Limbaugh really still is. There are so many who believe and trust him. They believe anything he says.

Health Care Lies

Our president recently said that doctors would be monitored to provide more quality service than quantity. There it is.

If you add more people to the system and spend less money it has to come by eliminating insured people (senior citizens) in the system.

Rush Limbaugh claims that rationing of services is in the bill. If you are a senior, you are less apt to receive needed tests, scans, chemotherapy, X-rays and specialists if it is not cost effective (if life expectancy is only a few years).

I believe Rush and I do not trust Washington.

Will someone please tell me the truth?


We need some Democrats in congress and from the White House out there stopping all this stuff in its tracks.

They need to stop playing nice with the likes of Limbaugh and Beck...they need to speak firmly and clearly.

And to the lady with the word "NO" on her butt...there is just not much to say about that. :eyes:

3. Looking at that photo again, I have to wonder
if that person wasn't actually trying to make a mockery of the "party of no." He/she (I can't tell which) just looks a bit too ridiculous.

6. These people are beyond hope!
Just ignore them or better yet, ask for their address so that you can 'inform' the death squad!

13. I'll share my favorite so far... in reply to "what's up with the 'YOBAMA' signage
we get this classic of understatement...


Well, you see, the coloreds have this colorful slang, and they always are saying “yo yo yo” and “you jive turkey” and “dy-no-mite” and such, so this gentleman, observing that Obama is a colored, found the juxtaposition of this colorful colored slang (known as “jive”) expression, with the name of this colored president. Personally, I think “Bro-bama” is funnier.
