Palin Hates Old People.

COMMUNISTS AMONGST US
Palin Quoted Reagan Calling Medicare Communism

Alaskan dingbat Sarah Palin proudly quoted Ronald Reagan last night, you betcha. So what was that weird quote about, anyway? It’s from this LP propaganda record, part of a “campaign organized by the American Medical Association to block the passage of Medicare.”


At Wonkette's above link or here at Youtube.

Ha ha, she wants to end Medicare, to stop the communists, and make old people die. She hates old people.

1. There's a commercial just dying to be made. I wonder what all her
supporters would think of this.

2. These last couple of weeks I've been so frustrated because I am video creation illiterate.
I have thought of dozens of ads ready to be made that haven't but don't have the skills to create them.

The 527s can have a field day with this is one. She used this as her big spiel during the debates and the truth behind her quote would destroy McPalin in the eyes of seniors and the ones who love them.

3. I am challenged myself, OSO. Hopefully someone will pick this up;
it needs to be shouted from the rooftops!

4. Of course it should be shouted but unfortunately, looking at the response to this
thread, it seems to be a non-issue here on DU. Maybe it would just sink?

I just don't get it.

5. If I may be so bold
This is a very serious issue indeed, and I just rec'd it. I suggest that the headline belies the depth of the content.

7. Just gave it another rec----it's really important to get this out!
Rachel Maddow's Oct. 3rd show had an amazing clip about this.

8. Does she? Or is she just a confused dumbass?
Either way, she's got to go back to Alaska and stay there.

10. Personally, I believe that someone prepping her for the debate was googling Raygun quotes
Edited on Sun Oct-05-08 12:08 PM by OmmmSweetOmmm
and liked this one. Without realizing the context of Reagan's speech (or realizing it but figured no one would look it up), they gave it to Palin to use. For all we know, it might have been the same people that stole Rachael Ray's recipes for Cindy! LOL!

Let's hope this backfires on them!!!!

11. She has no respect for the elderly - she steps on people on her way to the top, including McSame.
She pretends to like him, but she'll throw him under the bus as soon as he's of no use to her.

And I agree - you should start a new thread emphasizing the Medicare association.
