Actually everyone is I guess when they write on Facebook, just like when they post on here. You're being disingenuous if you expect me to believe she's just posting that crap for her "friends".
Is there something wrong now with making public statements? Is it a crime for Palin and others to voice their opinions?

As usual, the Left wants her to just shut up and she's not going to do that.

Is it her fault that the Left and media hang on her every word?

Can't wait for Cap&trade to come up.

It's her fault that she posts statements based on lies, and when it's made clear to her that she posted something false, she chooses to standby the falsehood. It doesn't matter if she's read by one person or read by one million persons, an honorable person stands by truths, not falsehoods.

If they were falsehoods, then why did the Senate vote to eliminate the Death Panels?

Sarah stood by the truth, and prevailed. Score another victory for the truth and the American people.

Voluntary consultations with personal physicians regarding end-of-life decisions would only equal Death Panels in the most paranoid person's fantasy world.

She didn't stand by the truth. She made a false claim about the proposals, and then didn't have the integrity to correct herself.

I disagree, she characterized the legislation accurately. They were not voluntary, they were mandated every 5 years beginning at age 60. Just like the lady with terminal cancer in Oregon last year, you can be certain government assisted suicide was this Marxist Regime's ultimate goal.

Sarah served the American people well. You appear to be the one spreading falsehoods, not Sarah.

Republican Senator Johnny Isakson from Georgia:

"I just had a phone call where someone said Sarah Palin's web site had talked about the House bill having death panels on it where people would be euthanized. How someone could take an end of life directive or a living will as that is nuts."

The Senate hasn't even been in session since she said it.
The Senate hasn't even seen any of the 4 proposed plans yet.
Those plans were proposed in Congress, not the Senate, and NO ONE has voted on them yet.
There was a proposal in one of the plans that would allow medicare to pay for a patient consulting their doctor about things like hospice, living wills, etc. Things we already consult our doctors about but which are not currently covered.
This is what Palin misunderstood as a "Death Panel."
The Senate hasn't voted on ANYTHING yet let alone a pretend "death panel"
Palin and her followers should try reading the newspaper once in awhile and listen to news from some source other than Fox. Then they wouldn't look foolish.

They were not mandated at all. They were OPTIONAL, which is the opposite of mandated. So Sarah's characterization was a FALSEHOOD. And she showed poor analytical skills in arriving at the conclusion. And when it was pointed out to her by numerous journalists, both conservative and liberal, she chose to defend the falsehood rather than to correct it. I'm not a Palin basher, I've defended her numerous times. But there is no defense for this. She showed zero integrity on this issue. Zero.

She resigned from office so she could speak out as just a citizen, show Americans who she really is free from political obligations and ties. If this is an example, then I'm not impressed.

They took it out because you all drama queens were throwing such a hissyfit in the town halls. But realistically, it wasnt a necessary provision. Your doctor can talk with you about it anyway during any appointment, it doesnt have to be all formalized and cost money.

Sarah -- lol, delusions of grandeur? They dont know who Sarah Palin is in Washington, and dont want to know.

Done nothing to me? What country are you living in? That self-absorbed moron is actively manipulating the public in an effort to terrorize them and to build herself a following to suit her own, personal ends. She doesn't give a flying fig about anyone but herself. She is evil.

Not that I wish to contradict you, but I despise that woman. I think she's doing grave harm and damage to this country, and snickering at all of us, including her worshipers, behind our backs.

That woman wouldn't know honor or integrity if it came up and smacked her across the face. She's a despicable narcissist who knows no shame.
