Well, she’s probably a little distracted right now, what with trying to protect her baby from roving bands of death panels. ---

Sure fired [Olbermann](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/11/olbermann-slams-palin-for_n_256207.html) up. Good stuff if a tad OTT 😉 ---

(Of course, I suppose that might be a false di\lemma.) Well, she’s obviously talking about the shouting and disruption at town halls that get played on the evening news. Maybe she thinks that because she’s preaching to the choir, her turns of phrase don’t matter? ---

Some of you people claimed that Sarah Palin was stupid. You have to admit, though that the “death panel” thing is absolute genius. Obama’s health plan will have death panels to decide who lives and dies. What an incredible meme. After 8 years of trying, nobody on your side ever came up with anything as good as that. ---

I guess, if you think that a bunch of old uneducated white septugenarians will carry the day. How’s that birth certificate kerfuffle going for you these days? It’s better when you keep the sillyness uncer the radar, like on talk radio or the internet. The more it gets exposed in the national media, the worse it is for you. The tide is already turning on the fear-mongering over health care reform. Wingnut conspiracy theories only work in the dark - the Republicans keep making the mistake of bringing them into the light. ---

C’mon, be REAL! You cannot harvest useful organs from from squashed people. Give them a chopper ride, then as they are walking away all happy, angle the rotors so they slice the head clean off. Win win, and cheap if you’re going to pay for a chopper ride anyway. Cheaper still if you can slice the heads off as they are walking toward the helicopter thinking they are going to get a flight. Call it the Vic Morrow Special. ---

We’d ship 'em out to the lunatic fringe of the Republican side of the aisle. You’re not feeding at that trough these days, are you. :rolleyes: ---

It is true that Republicans are masters at making any possible concept of change sound like an imminent asteroid strike on New York City – not that there’s anything we should do about it if it were about to happen, because it’s God’s plan.
