> [@Rand\_Rover](#): > > So . . . where exactly did Palin say Obama would kill her baby? The part I quoted where she talked about her baby going before a “death panel” suggests they are making a life or death decision about the baby based on it’s productivity to society and denying it health care if… why do I have to repeat something I already quoted? Her meaning is quite clear. But if you’re asking me to show you where Palin every “exactly” says anything, you are asking for the moon. ---

> [@Muffin](#): > > See the cite in the OP, which is linked to in the OP. You don’t seem to understand. The text of the thread title accuses her of actually SAYING that President Obama would kill her baby. The text of the cited Facebook page entry has her merely implying that President Obama would have death panels that would decide whether her baby was worth keeping alive, NOT that President Obama would be doing the killing himself. Unless Sarah can be found posting, or better yet, uttering the words “Obama would kill my baby,” the thread title is inaccurate, and by extension, dismissable as a slander against the former governor. I suspect that **Rand Rover** learned this clever little parlor trick by observing the posts of a certain poster who takes as her handle the name of a modest planned community in Illinois. ---

I apologize for the gross exaggeration in the title. Can somebody please edit to say: Palin says Obama _death squad_ would kill her baby. ---

At what level of government do you get a death squad? I want a death squad. ---

?? So pointing out that the title of a thread is inaccurate is a trick? And one that I would have to learn from someone? The “trick” of just making shit up about people that a poster doesn’t like has stuck in my craw for a long time. It’s like the whole “liar!!” thing–any politician that a poster doesn’t like is a “LIAR!@!!” Look, OP, we understand you don’t like Sarah Palin. However, she says enough idiotic shit all on her own that you don’t need to make stuff up that she never said and say she said it. Why not say “Palin says Obama will create ‘death panels’”? That would be bad enough, wouldn’t it? ---

Yeah, but your mom did look reluctant when she said no. She’ll be down with the brown next time around. ---

Well if Sarah Palin hadn’t cracked Trig’s skull open and consumed his brains little Trig wouldn’t be before this imaginary death panel. Earlier this week I pondered on whether the Republican leadership could do anything to further alienate those who were not wing-nuts to top their previous efforts. Question answered. Birthers topped. Sarah deliberately ate Trig’s brains so he would be a showcase for her political philosophy. :eek: Couldn’t she have just referred to herself when describing the mentally impaired? :rolleyes: ---

> [@Rand\_Rover](#): > > ?? So pointing out that the title of a thread is inaccurate is a trick? And one that I would have to learn from someone? Trick, schmrick. And learn, schmearn, while I’m at it. This is the first time I’ve seen you favor us with such a weak-sauce “contribution” and apparently expect everyone to view it as a killing argument that entirley invalidates the thesis of the OP. I figured you must have picked it up _somewhere_. And you really should feel complimented when I suggest that I had thought such games were beneath your dignity. ---

Either (i) quote the post where I say anything at all that would lead a reasonable person to believe the above or (ii) sit there an know that you are a loser who is doing exactly what I’m ranting about (i.e., just making shit up about people you don’t like). ---

I’ve made nothing up. Palin describes babies going before imaginary death squads to determine their right to live and die. That’s not an interpretation of what she said, it’s _what she said_. To say that Obama wants to kill babies is completely tied up with her pro-life “credentials,” and is clearly the meme she was trying to work. I doubt you really believe otherwise, because even the pitchfork-wielding rubes that like Palin are smart enough to decode it. ---
