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.
She's the biggest moron ever.
Scary fact - people on this forum actually voted for her.

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.
