>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. **oh well, in that case..I mean if Jon Stewart said it.. But it doesn't appear that any (non-Conservative) editorials took her on that I can currently find. **so apparently folks is just one folk? Of course, i never said "a ton". ***no but you did say plural. ;P 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. **which was later kinda true, but ok. If Wasserman-Shutlz and the Democrats make a habit of death traps, it becomes like Palin and Death Panels. ***see below, they have started a pretty solid demagoguery meme. Although, I would say that opposing death panels but supporting death traps makes you confused. :P **I would say you are confused about what they support then. >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. ***boggle. Seriously frigging boggle. Yes, by cutting funding to planned parenthood Republicans want to KILL women. KILL! Really? 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. **not withstanding the other inconvenient fact that PP only gets 8% finding from the feds, so cutting their funding is not an end to their program. No according to democrats it is death to PP and an end to sdafe abortions and death to women. Not to mention how much money they would have save for lobbying.. And the seniors starving was horribly lie filled as well. 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. ***particularly when you believe the democrat talking points.remember, Schummer already admitted they have DNC direction make everything the republicans do "extreme" whether it is or not. ***not that the media cares about that either. -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
