Kudos to the Black&Right blog for finding this. You tell me we don't have political militants who are eerily vindictive.

"In response to the Wall Street Journal piece, “Palin’s Book: The Overview”, a commenter added this example of liberal tolerance…"

I wonder what 'Anonymous' will think once he (or she) is on the receiving end of this so-called Health Care Reform at an advanced age?

Blooming idiot.

Honor thy father and mother.

There must be a reason why the Orientals respect their elders. To utilize the advice, experience and long term perspective of those who have been around can give a cultural advantage.

If they start training people from pre-K on up, they will accept this outcome.

I know an English gentleman who was told that folk his age just don’t get bypass operations. “OK”, he said. No problem.

Mr anonymous has put his cart before his horse.

As long as they are still alive enough to vote, it does matter what the old people think. After they’re dead, then he can go back to ignoring their opinions.

Anonymous' identity can be found and he can be disposed of like the rubbish he really is.

His ISP should give him up in a second!

I’m thinking this person needs to do some splain’in...at the very least. I hope he/she gets a clarification visit. They had the audacity to post this garbage on a well read site. I wonder what their parents will think....if they are still around...

Perhaps this particular anonymous should not be allowed to become a member of the group known as old people.

Anonymous doesn’t care, as long as he thinks everyone else is getting screwed. He has no idea he is getting screwed too. That’s the basic pronlem with all liberals and progressives.

Remember the yacht tax years ago. Liberals thought, “We’ll screw all the filthy rich.” They forgot who builds the boats - middle class working stiffs. All the misery trickled down to the poor and the filthy rich saved a few bucks when they said, “We don’t really need that big of a boat.”

Liberals wrote the book on the law of unintended consequences.

I recall a movie, Logan’s Run, in which the people were to die at age 30 to make room for others. Of course, as each one got close to their having to die in some cheered on ceremony, they RAN to escape their deaths.

Sadly, all of the old people will be dead soon ... and then they’ll be Obama/Pelosi voters too.

What about this saintly man, Serb Patriarch Pavle, who just passed away at age 95:

http://serbianna.com/news/?p=3479

When he was 65, he had 30 more years of life to go. At age 76, he was elected Patriarch, in 1990. He led the renewal of the Serbian Orthodox Church as it emerged from communist repression, and during the turmoil of the wars of secession in Yugoslavia.

We never know at what age we are going to die, and we also never know at what age we will experience the most significant years of our life. Besides that, older people have learned a thing or two that might help younger people. Saying that older people (at 60? 65?) are going to die soon anyway so it doesn’t matter what they think is baseless, callous, and stupid in the extreme.

The fool who made that comment probably doesn’t have any power. But creeps like Cass Sunstein, Ezekiel Emanuel, Robert Reich, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barack Hussein obama DO have power, and believe the same things.

Pull up your socks Baby Boomers! The wave is coming our way now.

AnyBoomer going into a hospital at the age of 74 or older is coming out dead,

Did not mean to double post, but it does bear repeating.
