I'll tell you how healthcare reform with a viable public option became known as "death panels".
It's really easy actually. Republicans (like Palin) are incapable of using words with more than 2 syllables, because the amount of letters in those words scares them.
So..........the took the term "healthcare reform" and dropped the reform, leaving just healthcare (2 syllables).
But, because the Republicans like to reduce things to simple bite sized bits, they decided to shorten the word "healthcare" to "death".
Why? Because without healthcare, you die.
They also took the groups of people and called them "panels" (no thinking required here.....it's a 1 syllable word).
And.........Volia!....................because they wanted to shorten it and protest against it, they shortened it to the easiest thing to remember (death panels), and told everyone that's what they would do.
Why did they do that? Because they'd learned from the previous admin that people are easier to control when they're scared.
And death scares most people.
