>Which folks are those? I mean surely you have a NY Times article, or USA today or Vsomething right? Something close to being on par with how the media attacked Palin?
I remember the day it was said it got addressed on the Daily Show. But it doesn't appear that any (non-Conservative) editorials took her on that I can currently find. Of course, i never said "a ton". But even so, this is not the same type of situation. This is one person who has used the phrase once so far. But it was not *just Palin* with "Death Panels". Death Panels were a *talking point* by many Republicans. And people were expressing disgust with what was an ongoing and false talking point. The media didn't just attack Palin-they attacked a whole bunch of Republicans who fed the Death Panel Meme.
If Wasserman-Shutlz and the Democrats make a habit of death traps, it becomes like Palin and Death Panels. Although, I would say that opposing death panels but supporting death traps makes you confused. :P
>And the same for the Democrats claiming the republicans want to starve seniors and kill >women?
When I see the things Republicans are gung ho to cut? It's not hard to see why it might just read that way. When a Republican senator states that 90% of Planned Parenthood's work is abortions and when he is called on it (it's actually 3%) responds that his statement was not meant to be factual...it's hard for me to take them seriously. Yeah, the Democrat mking such claims are no easier to take seriously...but Republicans are not exactly making a solid plea for sympathy or understanding here.
