Back To The Future: "Death Panel" Myth Invoked At GOP Town Hall To Scare Voters
ThinkProgress filed this report from Manilus, NY
ThinkProgress posted a nice little summary of an exchange between Ann Marie Buerkle and several constituents at the Town Hall Meeting in Pompey, Onondaga County, last Wednesday night, written by Tanya Somanader:
Does Buerkle think we are morons? It is pretty easy to see that honesty does not play in Buerkle's world. Pathetically, she also cannot comprehend that other people can see what she is up to. We call it "insight" in the mental health field, and she lacks it. Otherwise she would know not to toss out garbage like "death panels" to living breathing human beings at her meetings.
Back in DC, Boehner sits Buerkle and the other novices down and feeds them these lies-gone-viral, and gives them crib sheets so they can practice. Then they are expected to go home to us rubes and tell us with a straight face stuff that even Sarah Palin doesn't try to peddle anymore. And that is saying a LOT.
Do you want Blueskygirl to tell you how she really feels?
