Fox News Pretends Palin Was Right About Death Panels'
Their propaganda is a beautiful thing to behold. I don't know why MSNBC doesn't just completely rip off their template.
Liberals tend to be more openminded and capable of seeing fault in their own side.
The Fox News narrative is not that flexible.
"President Obamas clear and unflinching answer in this case told us several important things about Obamacare: 1) Under Obamacare, there would be at least one panel, or commission, or body of some sort, that is going to examine the medical evidence on how effective a certain treatment is likely to be in a certain subset of patients. 2) This, lets call it a panel, will let the doctors know whether that treatment ought to be used in those patients. (Letting the doctor know is a euphemism for guidelines, which itself, as we have seen, is a euphemism for legally-binding and ruthlessly enforced directives.) 3) Subjective measures ought not to influence these treatment recommendations. Non-objective parameters such as the doctors medical experience, intuition, or personal knowledge of the patient; or the patients spirit, or will to live, or likelihood of tolerating and complying with the proposed treatment; or even extenuating circumstances that might increase or decrease the success of the proposed treatment in a particular individual simply cannot be evaluated or controlled by far-away expert panels, and therefore must necessarily be discounted. 4) But since our government is a compassionate and caring one, and wishes to reduce unnecessary suffering, palliative care will be made available in the form of pain control, even while withholding potentially curative care."

I get it, and I appreciate your attempts to at least rationalize and give the concern an objective treatment. That is something that should be done.
"Death panels" is propaganda, wielded by people who complain about propaganda. That is something that should not be done.
That's my observation. I believe in it. Do with it what you will.
If the counter is (and I'm not saying it is) is that such tactics are in retaliation for leftist propaganda, again, my answer will simply be: grow the fuck up. If that is not your counter, then please disregard.
So when they say they aren't death panels, but qualified reviewers of what life-saving procedures to fund...and what not to fund...why, then, we have to go with that. Don't say the *d* word... it's "end of life" options......assisted suicide, euthanasia, or pallative care.
Fox News Pretends Palin Was Right About Death Panels
Fox News and their viewers love to pretend. They live in a fantasyland bubble -- only it's not a happy place -- it's full of fear and race-baiting.
Sarah Palin returned to Fox News business block today to lend her special brand of acumen to a discussion about Obamacare and death panels. Despite the fact that her death panels accusation was rated Lie of the Year by PolitiFact, host Eric Bolling joined her in throwing truth out the window as she took what was laughably called The Hot Seat for softball questions and a pretense that she has been proven correct. Simon Maloy, at Media Matters, breaks down Palins uh, evolution from her death panel accusations about the Advanced Care Planning provision in the House health care bill to her changeup to the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) in the Senate bill: Palins first deployment of death panel in August 2009 was in reference to the Advanced Care Planning provision of the House health care bill, and she said it would decide whether senior citizens and the disabled were worthy of health care. This was a lie, and Palin got called out on it, earning herself Politifacts Lie of the Year award. In December of 2009, Palin switched it up and tried claiming that IPAB (which originated in the Senates health care bill) was what she was talking about all along and that this type of rationing was precisely what I meant when I used that metaphor. This was also a lie; the law does not allow for the IPAB to make any recommendation to ration health care... or otherwise restrict benefits or modify eligibility criteria.
She's the biggest moron ever.
Scary fact - people on this forum actually voted for her.

That's how the Nazis sold it..."Death for life"....that's how they sold the idea of killing off certain people....the concept was that you had to kill those leeching off the system in order to provide for the more likely candidates.
Obama and his ghouls do the same thing.

It was end of life counseling, which is very much needed. Stop lying.
