Right. So if you're Sarah Palin, you don't have to read the proposed healthcare reform act itself, you can just make shit up, such as "Obama's 'death panel' wants to euthanize my Down Syndrome baby."
Now of course, Palin knows that's not true, and is perfectly aware she's just blowing chunks, even as the words are coming out of her mouth. And yet, even though she knows what she's saying is a lie, she believes it. This is the magic of doublethink, without which fascism cannot exist.
What's obvious to me through all of this is that a state of civil war already exists in this country, because the corporate paymasters and their political bagmen in Congress, the remnant of the Republican Party, have now made common cause with the most extreme, fantasy-driven fascist nutjobs at the ragged right edge of the political spectrum. This is what happened in Germany in the very early thirties.
These braying jackasses are now determined to make it impossible for the rest of us to live with them, and we need to act accordingly.

Her death panel comment made as much sense or had as much truth attached to it as her derision of fruit fly research. She eschews common sense probably because she doesn't have any. common sense that is.
Hay, man. I thought you were giving this kind of thing up, eh?
