* Please take a moment to think about how plausible you considered Palin's death panel comments and then to consider the number of people who apparently took them very literally.

As best I can tell, the people who believed that were the people who wanted to believe it -- who were already convinced that anything Obama offers is a socialist plot and who were more than happy to believe it. Those people (and yes, the left has certainly its counterparts) wouldn't believe Obama no matter what he said.

Personally, I think if we ever end up with government run single payer, we will ration care, so I don't think Palin's comment was 100% deranged. But to suggest that was a likely outcome anytime soon from Obama's reform was manipulative, and apparently successfully so.

We already have rationed care. It's just that apparently, we're willing to let insurance companies do the rationing.
