"Death panels."
The claim set political debate afire when it was made in August, raising issues from the role of government in health care to the bounds of acceptable political discussion. In a nod to the way technology has transformed politics, the statement wasn't made in an interview or a television ad. Sarah Palin posted it on her Facebook page.
Her assertion
— that the government would set up boards to determine whether seniors and the disabled were worthy of care —spread through newscasts, talk shows, blogs and town hall meetings.
Advocates for health reform said it showed the depths to which their opponents would sink. Still others scratched their heads and said, "Death panels? Really?"
[Amazing. Worse, a year from now most TV news consumers will remember the 'lie award' more than they'll remember she was and is right.
Don't believe? Read the top/1st post again...]
And then he pointed out that the Reid bill declares on page 1020 that the Independent Medicare Advisory Board cannot be repealed by future Congresses...
Don't bother
