I for one will be pissed when those fruit loop libertarians have all the dope and porn. Of course, none of them know how to roll a decent joint, but they won’t let that little fact stop them in their grand scheme.

I’ve been around awhile, and what I’ve been hearing lately from Palin and others is by far the nuttiest and most extreme rhetoric of my lifetime. Let’s sum up: Obama is Hitler, and he wants to kill your handicapped children and your grandmother.

If you’d presented me just six months ago with the above statement, I would’ve slapped my knee and laughed, and told you to get some more original material. But that shit is actually being said, and it’s being said by conservatives who have a vast audience and a lot of respect from their listeners.

I’m not much for drama, and I prefer laughter to tears, but this fucking bullshit is starting to make me nervous. Let’s be clear: these people are not sane, and they have a lot of influence over the people who listen to them. I am very nearly convinced that some shit is going to go down as a result, and it will be unpleasant.

Tell that to the libertarians. They can’t be bargained with. They can’t be reasoned with. They don’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they will not stop, ever, until they have all the toys. And dope. And porn.

It’s true. The McMeganator will be the death of humanity if we don’t stop its remorseless glibertarianism.

I read your statement as:

The McMeganator will be the death of humor…

which made it really funny to me.

As for La Palina, when you are citing Michele Bachmann as a beacon of rationality and as someone you admire, you have officially crossed over into batshitcrazyfortrollsrightwingthugnuttery. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Bill Maher nails stupid America to the wall http://tinyurl.com/l2r999

Unfortunately the weight of Stupid America’s obese head will pop the nails and soon stupid will be running around the country again screaming “Hands off my medicare, gubmint!” which is “which is kind of like driving cross country to protest highways.“

Rachel Maddow: “Naziism is not a metaphor” – covers right wing nutjobs inciting violence: A Republican tells a crowd that Obama is planning a “final solution” for old people; Rush Limbaugh says Obama is using Nazi symbols; and Glen Beck mentions spiking Pelosi’s wine with poison.

I’m stunned anyone can get on the air in America and call a moderate president Hitler, encourage people to arm themselves at town halls, and hint at killing Congressmen. If these shits were in Canada they’d be charged under the criminal code with promoting hate.

If these shits were in Canada they’d be charged under the criminal code with promoting hate.

If teevee and radio conservatives in the US were kept from promoting hate, they’d not have anything left to talk about.

Increasingly analogous to the career arc of Canada’s pride and joy (until he fell off the face of the earth…) Tom Green – do outrageous stupid things, people laugh. Need to up the shock to keep people’s attention, so do even more outrageous stupid things. And again. And again. Until eventually there’s nowhere else to go.

So really, with the Limbaughs and Becks of the so-called “movement” already sprinting past the Godwin line only 6 months into a new administration, where else is there to go? Blood Libel?

Seems either they’ll burn themselves out when some crappy cobbled together health care bill gets passed (that somehow ends up making the insurance industry even MORE profitable) or we’ll have a mass Ruby Ridge type event where their leading lights will act innocently surprised and shocked – SHOCKED! – that anyone would take up arms against those fine brave men in law enforcement, wrongly thinking our boys in blue were somehow part of the government (must be a bunch a liberals to be so stoopid!).

“…Human rights and human dignity must be at the center of any health care discussion….” — that’s what I keep telling my HMO when they reject my claims, but do they listen? Do they listen?

I’m sure Aetna-Kaiser-Shield of Wasilla is simply tickled pink to pick up the tab for Sarah & her genetic baggage — after all, if there’s one thing we can always count on in a large organization created solely to profit of off people’s misfortune and illness, it’s their boundless compassion and concern for the individual. Not.

It’s being said because no one is calling them out on it. And the easiest way to do it, and reveal them as the unhinged liars they are, is not by calling them unhinged liars, or shouting them down, or brawling with them, but by engaging in Socratic questioning. Which should be very easy to do with Palin, given how she’s known for beating a path to the nearest camera and microphone, but would also be easy enough to do with the nutters at the town halls. Just simple questions, asked in a respectful tone of voice: “You said this bill contains a provision for euthanizing seniors. Can you tell me which version of the bill that’s in – there are 5 versions right now – and what section and page I can find it on? Oh, you haven’t seen or read it yourself? Then how do you know it’s in there? Where did you hear about it? Can you explain how something this explosive could be a “secret” that only you and a few other people have heard about in a chain email? These bills are all available for public reading – why do you suppose no one in the media is reporting this extraordinary provision? Oh, everyone in the media hates old people? None of them have elderly parents or grandparents whom they love and want to protect, and this is why they’re “covering up” a provision of a bill that’s going to kill their elderly loved ones? Do you really believe that – you really think that’s a reasonable belief, to claim that EVERYONE who has actually read these bills has such an evil hatred, even for their elderly relatives, that they’re covering this up? Do you even think about what it is you’re saying before it comes out of your mouth?” And so on. Make them admit through a series of simple questions that they’re gullible fools.

Unfortunately, they would probably stick their fingers in their ears, shriek, “Lalalalallalalala, I can’t heeeeear you!” and continue to believe whatever they want to believe because they *know* it’s true.

Your good-faith argument only works when both sides accept that facts matter. The ability for human being to delude ourselves is astonishing.

When our evil Kenyan Socialist overlord finally realizes his dictatorship, will there be just one death panel, or will they have, like, a local death panel in each community? ‘Cause I volunteer to serve on the one in my town. The opportunities for getting rich from the bribes will be fabulous! All the rich old guys will pay me off to keep the Death Squads from showing up at their 60th birthday parties. And anybody I don’t like, I can get rid of–just go to the Kenyan Birth Certificate website and make up a fake document, and their gone! Does this job come with a cool uniform, too?

They can’t kill Trig. He’s the brains of the whole Palin family! If Obama kills him, the Palins will revert to the intellectual level of feral pigs. And do we really want to see pictures of Todd rolling in his own filth? Well…

Seriously though, I wouldn’t pick up Trig if I was her. If she gets too close, he might smack Sarah in the face for being such a retard.

I agree, the nutters themselves are beyond reasoning. No one will change their minds, no matter how often it’s pointed out that their beliefs are false, irrational, and illogical.

But everyone else listening isn’t batshit insane and/or terminally stupid. Questioning this bullshit will make it clear to them that it’s bullshit.

Palin can be controlled – you just disconnect it.

Palin is more than a little ‘disconnected’ already.

But Death Panels create jobs!

I can picture Trig looking at his mom and thinking ,”Holy shit ! And you call ME retarded.”

Cheerfully stolen from Fark:

“Our new Death Panel has become the ultimate power in the Obamaverse.”

“Now, witness the power of this fully armed and operational babykilling station!”

Very true. I have to remind myself that the batshitcrazy remains roughly fifteen percent of the country. The rest of our citizens can, indeed, reason to some extent. Unfortunately, with our useless traditional media, it’s difficult to realize that the latter far outnumber the former.

P.S. Very petty of me, but I am pleased I figured out how to get FDL to accept my URL!

I’ve been around awhile, and what I’ve been hearing lately from Palin and others is by far the nuttiest and most extreme rhetoric of my lifetime. Let’s sum up: Obama is Hitler, and he wants to kill your handicapped children and your grandmother.

You know, I’ve been around a while also and I couldn’t agree with you more. The old Berkeley New Left radicals (led by David Horowitz) pale in comparison to these paranoid freaks and goons.

Those old leftists were on the fringe of American politics. These Republicans are the “mainstream” of their party.

$arah Palin already has been head of a “death panel”: During her 2.5-year tenure as governor of Alaska, 254 elderly people died because of inadequate state oversight of the state Medicaid program. The Anchorage Daily News link: http://www.adn.com/life/health/story/864670.html

254. That’s $P’s toll as Death Panelist. For starters.

Publicly admitting to being a Libertarian should immediately label one as a totally amoral, deluded idiot who is permanently barred from all public forums other than ranting on street corners and in public parks.

Yep. That’s what happens when both the libertarians and the Libertarians jump on board.

You know the brakes have failed on the crazy train and it’s careering down at an unsafe speed.

Funny the National Downs Syndrome Congress disagree’s with the Wasilla Quitter Critter-

Why do we need health care insurance reform?

People with Down syndrome have been and continue to be discriminated against with regard to access to health insurance, solely on the basis of the diagnosis of Down syndrome and without consideration of their individual health status or health histories.

For those people with Down syndrome who do have congential or other health conditions requiring medical intervention, insurance companies have denied them access because of their preexisting conditions.

The whole issue of access to health insurance places an extraordinary burden on families and persons with Down syndrome and other disabilities. Families and adults with Down syndrome are forced to consider issues of obtaining or maintaining health insurance coverage above career and other significant life decisions. Even when they are able to access health insurance coverage, the financial cost can be exorbitant.

Both historically and within the context of reform movements, people with Down syndrome and other disabilities face considerable challenges to accessing quality care. People with Down syndrome are entitled to receive any and all treatments that are medically indicated. Proposed health care delivery systems which involve rationing of services threaten to have a disproportionately negative impact on persons with disabilities. Quality of life defined by persons without disabilities is not an acceptable rationing criterion.

So, who are you going to believe? A liar with political ambitions who uses her DS baby as a political weapon/shield or the national org. that understands the need for health care reform for DS parents not named Palin.

When our evil Kenyan Socialist overlord finally realizes his dictatorship, will there be just one death panel, or will they have, like, a local death panel in each community?

Community Death Panels are part of the stimulus package. It’s classically Keynesian, because it involves paying people to dig holes and then fill them up.

Why are “death panel” and “level of productivity in society” in quotation marks? What is she quoting?

An extra helping of nuts on your Saturday cereal:

Teageezers support this, that’s how dumb they are. (Btw, the person who coined “teageezer” could sell t-shirts. or Tea shirts. Har.)

Unless this protest succeeds, only a merciful intervention can prevent Americans from being sucked into this system!!!

Start forwarding that to all your relatives, Lou Dobbs, the RNC, Glenn Beck and ANYBODY you can think of.

They have to get on board or they hate America.

The Protocols of the Elders of Medina.

Is that available as a picture book now?

I mean, I have a feeling that’s the only way Palin could wrap her head around it.

Have you noticed that Sarah’s vile message actually makes sense? Do you think she actually wrote it herself?

Nah. No way she wrote this.

We’ve heard and read her quittin’ speech — it’s not the same, is it?

I wonder who wrote it and how much they paid her to post it?

It would be irresponsible not to speculate.

So he’s a Keynesian Kenyan?

Peachy!

No, I think this is her publicist standing in for her again. The grammar in this despicable rant is much too good to be Palin’s work. But I still want her to apologize to the whole fucking country for this hateful trash-talk.

thank you !, was just going fishing for that link

let’s not forget her willful ignorance of starving Inuit in villages like Emmonak – many unable to subsist because of her friendliness to Big Fishing

ah but never fear, she and Frankline Graham eventually showed up with home made cookies repleat w/ bible verses

That is great. It needs to be repeated, early and often, along with this: Palin is lying, and she is using her Down Syndrome baby as a political prop.
