Palin stars in Death Panel 2
Posted: Tuesday, September 08, 2009 5:12 PM by Domenico Montanaro
Filed Under: Sarah Palin

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was invited to testify before the New York state Senate Aging Committee by its Chairman, Rev. Ruben Diaz. Instead of testifying, Palin has submitted written testimony, and publicizes it via her latest Facebook "Note."

In it, she defends her contention that there are, in fact, "death panels" in health-care legislation being considered in Congress -- despite independent fact-checkers repeatedly debunking the notion.

"A great deal of attention was given to my use of the phrase 'death panel' in discussing such rationing," Palin writes. "Despite repeated attempts by many in the media to dismiss this phrase as a 'myth', its accuracy has been vindicated."

She also claims that "Advance Care Planning Consultation" will have a "coercive effect" on seniors.

3. Then Palin should take it up with the Republican Congressman from Georgia who wrote the provision...

... and the 42 Republicans who voted for it.

4. She's been "vindicated" but she won't appear to answer questions?
What a fucking lying skanky whore. This is the best the gop has going for it?

Leaving Grandma to lie in her own feces in a nursing home with no brain function, while her stay ruins her family financially has a coercive effect as well you fucking moron.

There were WMD too, right?

God almighty fucking damn, conservatism is a fucking mental disease.

Wouldn't be nearly as lame as the sideshow she's got going now.

6. Why on earth would she be invited
to testify before a NY State Senate committee?

I mean, who the fuck made her any kind of "expert" on anything except bullshit?

13. I honestly think that Palin believes if she says it, it must be true.
I am increasingly convinced she has no concept of fact versus fiction. Seriously. I truly believe this.

I am a former classroom teacher, who now works in K-12 curriculum and educational specialist for an independent study program. Upon studying more and more about the process of teaching reading, reading comprehension and skills, I find that many students do struggle with identifying what is fiction, what is fact, and how to express this knowledge. I feel that Palin falls into this learning sub-set. I really, really do.

Which puts her smack dab in a first grade classroom.

16. Palin is a total nut case.
The woman needs therapy. She is delusional and suffers from megalomania!

20. Palin is a Sociopath
she actually defines the very word she throws around so often... the word evil. I tend to stay away from that term, because I do think she as well as others like her are in fact very sick human beings.

21. Please make her go away - she's had her 15 minutes
I can't think of a more irrelevant person right now. Anyone out there who takes this ignorant wannabe politician as more than National Enquirer fodder is kidding themselves.

22. She'd look great in a Klingon costume
with one of those hard spiny things that look like turtle shells glued to her forehead. It would be a great new look for her. And people might start paying attention again.

23. In other words, her lips are moving?
She would not recognize truth if it kicked her in the shin.
