1. "The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil." —Sarah Palin, in a message posted on Facebook about Obama's health care reform plan,

2. "Obama's got a health care logo that's right out of Adolf Hitler's playbook … Adolf Hitler, like Barack Obama, also ruled by dictate." —Rush Limbaugh, Aug. 6, 2009

3. "People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless." —a July 31 editorial in Investor's Business Daily warning about end-of-life counseling in health care reform. Hawking, in fact, lives in England and has been treated by their National Health Service, which, by his own account, saved his life

4. "What we have to do today is make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood brothers on this thing. This will not pass. We will do whatever it takes." –Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), on what is needed to defeat health care reform, Aug. 31, 2009
5. "You have three people in the White House that are in love with eugenics or whatever it is you would call it today. … Please dear God, read history. Please dear God read the truth of what these people have said in their own words, and ask yourself this one question: Do you trust these people enough to give them control over who lives and who dies? Because that's what health care is when you have no other choice but to go to the state." —Glenn Beck, comparing health care reform to Nazi eugenics

6. "Congress would make it mandatory — absolutely require — that every five years people in Medicare have a required counseling session that will tell them how to end their life sooner." —Betsy McCaughey, former New York lieutenant governor and originator of the "death panel" lie, July 16, 2009

7. There is some fear because in the House bill, there is counseling for end-of-life. And from that standpoint, you have every right to fear. ... We should not have a government program that determines if you're going to pull the plug on grandma." —Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Aug. 12, 1009

Michele Bachmann (R-MN), a pro-lifer who completely missed the irony of using the same slogan as the pro-choice movement

When you look for stupid quotes on Faux news, Limbaugh, and Hannity, that's like shooting fish in a barrel!

Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck.....

Although I can understand the positions they take...I can't help but say " Oh for F**KS SAKE will you just shut the hell up??? You are NOT helping at ALL " at some of the stuff they spout.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), never heard of her until the Obama campaign. She's one strange lady. As if that wasn't enough?

Michele Bachmann's Son Sent to Obama Reeducation Camp
By Pareene, 11:14 AM on Wed Aug 12 2009

Back in April, congresswoman Michele Bachmann said that President Obama wanted to send American children to mandatory "reeducation camps." That was her completely reasonable response to increased funding for AmeriCorps. Guess what her son just joined!

Here's Michele's direct quote from April. Once again, she is talking about the expansion of AmeriCorps.

I believe when it's all said and done, this service that — I believe that there's a very strong chance that we will see that young people will be put into mandatory service. And the real concern is that there are provisions for what I would call re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward and then they have to go and work in some of these politically correct forums. It's very concerning. It appears that there's a philosophical agenda behind all of this, and especially if young people are mandated to go into this. As a parent, I would have a very, very difficult time seeing my children do this. Again, a huge power-grab, at a cost of billions of dollars.

But the Star Tribune has confirmed that Bachmann's son Harrison has joined Teach For America, which is, of course, a part of AmeriCorps.

people say the darnedest things

That was my first thought lol.
