Why yes, I have. Another baldfaced lie promulgated by another self-serving con:
"The latest conservative obsession - dutifully spread via Sarah Palin's Facebook page - is marked by the same alarmism and factual inaccuracy as the hysteria over "death panels."
According to this tale, America's veterans are being steered into ending their lives via a "death book" distributed by the government."
Well no one gets out of here alive. All Americans from the poorest to the richest can not keep death at bay indefinitely. No matter how unpleasent we need to make choices on just how much of our estates and the societies money ( our children's money) we are going to want to burn through in what will be a losing effort to stay alive. Conservatives seem to be pitching the biggest fit over this sort of discussion and want to delay their inevitable-demise , its as if they fear God's judgement and that he will cast them in to a flaming pit for how they treated his children and his house during their time on Earth.
VA's Tammy Duckworth tells the truth about "Death Book for Veterans" and pwns FIX News' Chris Wallace....

She was well spoken & had excellent information. Funny how they have a spokesperson with an alternate opinion/view than FOX wants to propagate on second, then is interupted often by FOX's propagandist who gets very testy with his guest, & she is told up front they don't have much time for her. Another fine display of FOXNews reporting...FOX's motto: If the facts don't fit, make them up! VA does a wonderful job of offering information for end-of-life planning and no one is forced to take it.

P.S. I did not vote because there is no 'death book."

Yes I have heard of it and it is sickening. The booklet should be geared towards life and hope but liberals love death so that is where they're focused most.
