re: #146 Charles

Sometimes I just can’t believe the rationalizations people come up with to make excuses for Sarah Palin.

She absolutely knew she was not telling the truth. The statement is utterly absurd on its face, and no sane person could possibly have believed the US government was going to set up “death panels.”

It was absolutely pure fear-mongering BS, pandering to the most extreme element of the right wing base — and Palin used her own child to do it, in one of the most blatantly cynical political maneuvers I’ve ever seen.

Well if she is as dumb as people say she is how are we to suppose she didn’t in fact fear gubermint death panels?
