The good folks at Media Matters provided me with this. With all the desperate scare tactics like this, public opinion really hasn’t changed over the last month. Laura Ingraham has definitely been at the forefront of the attempts to scare seniors.
That same day on her nationally syndicated show, Ingraham stated, “Can you imagine — if I were doing Saturday Night Live, like, if I were producing it this weekend, and I was going to be fair about political humor, I would have a hospice chute — like a door, a trap door that goes into a chute where the elderly would just walk up — ‘Oh, my hip hurts.’ ” And all of a sudden you see this leg kicking granny down the chute, and that’s Obamacare.” After re-enacting “the next person [who] comes up” who also gets “kick[ed] down the chute into the hospice,” Ingraham concluded, “[S]ome will call them death camps, but this is the way Obamacare is gonna go for America.” The previous day, Ingraham similarly asserted that Obama’s “approach to health care reform” is “making sure people don’t live as long.”
