The ‘RATS like Tammy Duckworth are passing out that “whacky martian stuff” at our VA hospitals. Any comments on that Whoraldo?

In LBJ’s first congressional race, when he supposedly told his campaign manager to begin circulating the rumor that his main opponent, a pig farmer, was practicing animal husbandry a bit too literally the campaign manager was said to have responded “Jesus, Lyndon, Nobody’s going to believe that.”

“Yeah,” quoth LBJ, “but I want to hear the SOB deny it.”


Sarah Palin is a student of history.

It isn't “Wacky Martian Stuff” Geraldo. Irrespective of whether or not you want to call them ‘death panels’ or not, when you have people empowered by government to make decisions on whether or not specific treatments/medications/procedures etc. are going to be paid for after a certain age, or if certain co-morbidities exist, you are empowering them to make decisions that are essentially life or death. Your dismissal of this reality is not very smart, and clearly not accurate.

He took a full minute to repeat over and over how much he hated to give any credit what so ever to Sarah Palin. What an insulting piece of crap he is. Why hasn’t Fox canned his a$$? I can’t believe he has any audience.

You know Palin is on the rise when her critics are conceding she's doing a good job. It happened earlier with Dowd and the HuffPost, they tore into her but still gave her props in the article.

The elites hate Palin but there's no doubt that they fear and respect her too.

Who's going to get their nose broken by Klansmen or dig in Capone's vault if Geraldo's gone? Hannity?

The very existence of a shameless racist pimp like Whoreraldo, on cable TV news is “wacky martian stuff”.
The fact that a racist like Sotomayor(who was shamelessly pimped by the self same Whoreraldo) is sitting is judgment at the US Supreme Court is “”wacky martian stuff”.
What is certainly NOT “wacky martian stuff” is Sarah Palin calling out 0bama on his 0bamacare death panels that have the power to make decisions on whether or not specific treatments are going to be paid for after a certain age. That just happens to be FACT. Why on earth is this idiot still on Fox cable news anyways?

Jerry thinks he has all the answers, because, you know, he is a lawyer. (barf)
We need a letter writing campaign to Fox to let them know how much we detest this pos on their station, and how we turn him off. He can’t have any ratings, can he?

Between him and Shep Smith it’s like watching, “As the Stomach Turns.”

This has nothing to do with LBJ, and the kind of twisted politics played by LBJ and his party.

Palin’s observation regarding death panels was accurate.

The Obama administration says they don’t want death panels. This statement, together with the circumstantial evidence, means they do want death panels.

Geraldo is a nut and a leftist who will say anything if it will help the leftist cause.

It was a stretch.

It has nothing to do with political instinct, it has to do with her not being attached to Washington and understanding the American people.

The media and Washington will never understand Sarah Palin and that is why she is so dangerous to them. If she continues to get good counsel and follows her “gut” instead of the DC pundits then she will be elected in 2012.

"Palin’s observation regarding death panels was accurate.”

In fact, Sarah's comments were so accurate the Senate finally acknowledged them and REMOVED the death panels from their bill.

Just the fact the GOVT was involvd in making the decision as to who gets care and what care, if any, is provided is pragmatically a DEATH PANEL.

Your OBOZO messiah is a socialist thug who lacks any intellect without a teleprompter to read.

So your purpose was not to point out that “Palin is a student of history,” but rather to continue Geraldo’s kooky claim about “martians.”

Take a look at Obama and his friends. You think they wouldn’t want death panels?

Bill Ayers wouldn’t want death panels? (Maybe he’s too kind hearted for that?)

Reverend Wright wouldn’t want death panels?

Saul Alinsky wouldn’t want death panels?

Cloward and Piven wouldn’t want death panels?

Sorry, but this nonsense has gone on too long. It’s time to wise up and understand what this administration is trying to do to our country. They must be held accountable for their current behavior, their ideology and their past.

No, Gerald is an idiot.

“Take a look at Obama and his friends. You think they wouldn’t want death panels?”

Want them? Sure they do. Is that LITERALLY what was in the proposal, or was it a bit of a stretch to get there? be objective now.

“Sorry, but this nonsense has gone on too long. It’s time to wise up and understand what this administration is trying to do to our country. They must be held accountable for their current behavior, their ideology and their past.”

Sorry, I was discussing one issue, not the entire movement arrayed against us. Of course they are evil and must be stopped HOWEVER I do not believe that “end of life counseling” constitutes “Death Panels.” This is NOT, I repeat NOT to say that I support end of life counseling or any other part of government run “free” health care; just that what Sarah (who a quick study of my posting history will show that I support) engaged in a bit of political prestidigitation to get from point (A) to point (B) with her statement about “Death Panels.”

I don't think that Sarah Palin was referring to the “End of Life” counselors as “Death Panels”. Rather she was addressing the gov. groups that would decide if a person's life was worth saving, based on their ability to contribute to society. I think the left has deliberately twisted her words to deflect attention from the far more onerous provisions of the bill. If I am not mistaken these “death panels” were established in a hidden part of the stimulus bill.

End of life counseling does not constitute death panels, I agree.

End of life counseling as advanced by Obama, Pelosi, Reid and democrats in general however, will lead to death panels. This fact is established by their behavior and their past. These are people who favor infanticide.

We are not obliged to give them a free pass. We are obliged to look at the patterns, understand where their hearts lie and predict what they are likely to do in the future.

Death panels is correct. Palin was right.

Unfortunately, Palin’s PR woman referred Jake Tapper to the end-of-life counseling provision in the bill when he specifically asked her about the ‘death panels’. That was a big error that got the media on the wrong track.

Obviously your denial of DEATH PANELS is indicative of your lack of intellect & cognitive skills...as well as taking unsubstantiated shots at Gov. Palin.

The only “big error” is the one we commit if we don’t realize that death panels are a major part of any health care plan put forth by the democrats and this administration.

This is why the bill must be stopped in its tracks.

I would challenge you to check my posting history vis a vis Sarah Palin, I am a supporter of hers. Being a supporter of hers does NOT mean being a mind-numbed bobble head nodding in agreement with everything the woman says or does.
