      No one can say we weren't warned!

      And I'd bet that each of the people on the panels will be an ACORN member.

      I'm still laughing at how stupid the claims are. Even more amusing is the fact that we already have real death panels, they're more commonly known as insurance claims adjusters, but reality isn't something that right-wing professional liars are generally known for, so you won't hear about them.

      On a related note, there's a great diary at Kos about George W. Bush's Texas death panel.

      I'm thinking of death paneling my rec room. That old-fashioned knotty pine is so '60s...

      I hope more advertisers are made aware of his insanity and ignorance. It's really shocking that Becky has such contempt and disgust for our Country and Constitution that he believes we will resort to forced abortions and death panels. Seriously, can he be any more anti-America?

      As someone without insurance I am in a moral conundrum. I find myself wishing these people like Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, Dobbs, and whoever else would come down with some horrible illness. I hope they get over it, but I wish they would have to spend every dime they make lying and manipulating vulnerable people just to live a few more years. Only then would they be able to live how many Americans live in the face of this broken system. I hate feeling this way, but I guess this whole ludicrous debate has made me cynical.

        Limbaugh already did. He brought on his own deafness with his drug habit. Those cochlear implants weren't cheap, but he was given a 400 million dollar "insurance policy" by his radio syndicate, so he doesn't care if he has health insured or not.

        They still wouldn't get it because they have the money to pay for it. Their mothers could be dying with an insurance company refusing to pay for treatments and they still wouldn't get it because they can just pull out their checkbooks and take care of it.

      Since we have your permission to laugh, Glen, is it okay if we laugh at you?

      BTW, Glen, how's that comedy tour of yours?

      Laughing all the way to the death panels? This is the first I've heard of that. I thought we agreed that laughing seniors would be too hard to control and anti-anxiety treated water was the way to go.

      Yes, Beck. You were ridiculed by the President of the United States of America.
