To add to the previous article by Bill Maher about the Birthers, we now bring you another facet, The Deathers. I overheard some truly freaked people on Chris Matthews recently who were convinced that they would be forced to do a number of diabolical things should the new healthcare bill passes. I could not imagine where they got the following ideas as gospel…
That everyone, young and old, healthy and infirm will be forced to speak with a sort of death psychiatrist to discuss ways of checking out.
All elderly and infirm will not be helped medically, but they will be forced to exit stage right!
There is family planning included, this is interpreted as "we’re all paying for forced abortions!"
Knowing the big insurance companies are the largest and most active lobbies in Washington right now, it should have been no surprise to me that the sources for these rumors aren’t a trailor park somewhere, seen on the same page of a
supermarket rag along with "Aliens meet with NATO." In fact, it’s downright chilling when you learn where and who it is coming from. It worked in ’93, someone had better discredit Harry and Louise at their cozy kitchen table, or we’ll be back where we started.
