"Should society just let him die?" "Yeah!!!!"

[brooklynite]

What's scarier: the candidates or the audience?

[my2sense]

1. All of the above n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

2. They deserve each other.

It's become acceptable to applaud the death penalty, sick people dying, be a racist, be a xenophobe, be a homophobe and hate poor people. This country has truly lost its way.

[nobodyspecial]

6. True

But why do the rest of us have to pay the price.

First cheering executions and then cheering sick people dying. If some of them had the opportunity to round us up and gas us, I'm sure plenty would be more than willing.

[in_cog_ni_to]

9. That's where they would LOVE to take this country.

:(

[K8-EEE]

3. Yeah last time executions was the big crowd pleaser

Teabaggers are so disgusting!!

[gratuitous]

4. And they all know somehow . . .

That they'll never be the one with a terminal curable diagnosis and no insurance. Not them personally, anyone they know, or anyone they're related to. It's nice to see the heartlessness the Republicans have spawned on such proud display.

[Bluebear]

5. They feed off each other

[Recursion]

7. I had to listen to it again to make sure I had heard it right

That was more disturbing than the applause for Rick Perry's execution string.

[anneboleyn]

8. Oh, you heard it right! There were loud screams of "let him die!" in response

to the question posed to Ron Paul.

[Zywiec]

17. I have yet to hear anyone scream "let him die"

I listened several times with powered headphones and don't hear it. I do hear two or three people screaming "yeah".

Maybe you have a better link that you can share where there were loud screams of "let him die"?

[anneboleyn]

20. I don't know what to tell you. We heard it loud and clear (we were listerning live) and even heard

someone gasp in response (perhaps a moderator or even a candidate). We heard the screams very clearly, and we commented on them right away. It took a few seconds for Ron Paul to begin his response because of this incident.

22. Here is the YouTube clip

Do you hear it here?

10. It's all fun and games until someone wheels out a fucking guillotine, motherfuckers !

[NMMNG]

11. That's the "pro-life" side for you

:puke:

[Strelnikov_]

12. Just a matter of time now . . Monday Night Rehabilitation

Tuesday night . . F*** Em', Pull The Plug

New on FOX - Follow the Medicare Quality Of Life Panel as they visit hospital ICU's seeking out insurance challenged patients (yea, deadbeats) . . and YOU the viewer decides whether to pull the plug!!! Entertainment for the whole family!!!

[jberryhill]

13. I'm onboard if they let us "throwing Christians to the lions"

Game on, motherfuckers!

[pokerfan]

14. Are you saying society should just let him die?

and the crowd yells, "Yeah!"

Weren't these the guys who were concerned about death panels and want teh gummint's hands off of their Medicaid?

:shrug:

[Strelnikov_]

15. "concerned about death panels and want teh gummint's hands off of their Medicaid?"

Mind numbing, isn't it.

[anneboleyn]

21. Yes, and all the unborn babies and one disabled person (Terry Schiavo). Other disabled people

like the young man in the scenario described last night...not so much.

[NNN0LHI]

16. The candidates. Even the kind of normal sounding and looking ones like Huntsman and Romney

Who continued to stand on that stage and smile after that happened.

They all exposed themselves by showing how they talk and think behind closed doors.

18. I'm really frightened that there are people out there

who believe that and have no problem expressing it out loud.

[Marr]

19. This sort of behavior doesn't surprise me since I read The Authoritarians.

It's sort of a personality trait. These people are deeply fearful, and they have a little well of anger inside that makes them anxious to see others punished. They actually say they feel a sense of pleasure when someone suffers for doing something they consider wrong. They'll always be for inflicting pain, so long as they can do it safely, from behind an authority figure.

[MH1]

23. The candidates, because they aren't as open and honest about it,

but feel the same way.

At least some of the audience members were honest about their own reprehensibility.
