Craigslist, not Craig's List, is an internet classifieds site. They wouldn't have hired people to attend town hall meetings. The advertiser would have, probably a pro-health care reform group. Similar to conservative organizations who do the same thing as a form of lobbying. This is nothing new and has been used as a lobbying effort for political organizations for quite some time. This isn't about Sarah Palin, in fact I'm sure the Democratic Party feels comfortable enough in knowing she'll continue to sabotage her credibility but simply opening her mouth.

Her lies, spin, half-truth, mis-quote whatever you want to call it have been disproven, does she apologize or amend her statement?

Of course not, she gives common sense and the truth the middle finger, all to refuse admitting her lie.

Please read this article carefully, stop believing lies and propaganda concearning "end of life" counseling.

Many people need this service and it's ultimately selfish and stupid to deny people these services simply to prop up a political agenda!

Prove it. Show me the passage in the bill. There is NOTHING in there about a "death panel". Even conservatives called her out on that.

It's LOSE not LOOSE, by the way. I learned that in grade school.

Worth repeating:

Georgia Senator Johnny Isakson (R):

"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."

Blue Shield's statement in her case:

"Blue Shield makes medical necessity decisions based on what is the most appropriate safe and effective treatment. To do that, we rely on the best evidence-based medical research available and the clinical opinion of medical experts. While we approve of gamma knife surgery when appropriate, in this case, the most appropriate treatment is whole brain radiation therapy, which we would approve for medical necessity if requested."

I hope that the insurance companies are paying you for your propaganda, at least, you shill!
Stories such as this underscore the need for reform and everyone knows the health care system needs fixing. But the fixes, i.e. the various bills, proposed by the Dems. are not about reform. They are about beginning the transformation of the health care system to one run by the government. It's not warranted and we cannot afford it. Every problem can be fixed and the current system improved and none of the problems individually or in the aggregate justify adopting the solutions proposed by the Democrats. Fortunately the Democrat plans and ObamaCare are effectively dead which presents the opportunity to start over and create a reform bill that will fix the problems and have broader appeal.

You called me shill. That's so cute! ...pat on the head

I did not vote for him, I do not like him, and I sure as hell do not support his loopy ideas.
Every day, I am glad my vote went to a man that I felt then and I feel now would have been a good president.
I get to have that opinion, just like you have yours.
Don't like it?? Too damn bad, get over it
You're proud to have voted for a man who called his wife a "c--t" in front of other people.

Who publicly made fun of Chelsea Clinton's looks.

Who bullied the relatives of POWs, shut down the search for any remaining POWs, and walked out of the room when one POW's sister was in tears.

Who can't think his way out of a paper bag.

Who selected someone he had briefly met ONCE to be his running mate.

He would have made an AWFUL President.

Nobody said you couldn't have an opinion. It would be nice if it were an informed opinion, but whatever.

Why do we allow a person who has repeatedly lied, and proven many times so, to have any validity in her statements to the press? I don't care what party you are for, this kind of rhetoric needs to be denounced for the lies that it is.
