Palin still refuses to go away

Sarah Palin has a (boring) opinion piece in today’s Wall Street Journal, wherein she (or rather her ghostwriter) reiterates her fears about “death panels.”  She blames the government for high costs of Medicare and Medicaid yet says healthcare reform including reductions in costs as proposed by the President amount to “rationing.” Now look at one [...]

As I noted in an earlier post, a significant portion of the GOP believes in several fantasies. The situation is not getting better, and it is being noticed around the world. Take this piece by Johann Hari in The Independent.  He lists the fantasies chapter and verse and in particular focuses on the Sarah Palin [...]

How wacko can Republicans get? Well, Rush Limbaugh believe Sarah Palin has “intellectual heft” in her “death panel” remarks. For a contrary view, you might want to take a look at what Robert Reich thinks are the real “death panels.” Three years ago, my mother died after a long and painful illness. During her last [...]

Southern Beale takes on the right’s claims of “death panels” in the healthcare reform bills currently underway. In a direct rebuke to the remarks on the topic made by Sarah Palin, Beale writes: You have no idea what it’s like to be called into a sterile conference room with a hospital administrator you’ve never met [...]

Palin won’t go away on healthcare

Sarah Palin, not surprisingly, continues to speak the language of her most ardent conservative wackos. On her face book page, she refers to Obama’s “death panel” that will ration healthcare based on a person’s productive contribution to society. She says the elderly and the disabled will not get needed care. Bullshit. Asked specifically what the [...]

This is a good one. In her departure speech this weekend, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin told the audience that one should never apologize for America.  Hmmm. It is indeed good to see her go.  But there are some things that the country could apologize for, including slavery, the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII, [...]

This is quite interesting. None other than Peggy Noonan has lashed out at Sarah Palin in today’s Wall Street Journal. Here is a brief excerpt, but the entire piece is scathing. In television interviews she was out of her depth in a shallow pool. She was limited in her ability to explain and defend her [...]

The Idiocracy Index has posted a lengthy piece showing the 100 reason why Sarah Palin should be named the queen of the idiocracy. Here is one sample: 51. Her most passionate supporters appear to be incredibly racist and ill informed. These idiots are the “base” Gallup speaks of.

Andrew Sullivan, who has been opposed to Sarah Palin for some time and who has closely watched and reported on the (in)accuracy of some of her claims, has produced an encyclopedic listing of all her strange lies.  An excerpt: Palin lied when she said the dismissal of her public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, had nothing [...]
