You’re stretching, or you’re cutting and pasting the quotes of someone else’s work of stretching, in which case you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Emanuel wrote these passages in reference to triage principles for organ transplants or when vaccines are scarce, triage principles which have been in place for a very, very long time. He was not writing these words in reference to health care insurance reform policy.

He also wrote them in what year, “Sceptic”? What journal did he write for? And was he first, second or third author? Do you even know?

And do you know who wrote the current crop of bills before the House and Senate? Do you even know? I’ll give you a hint: it was neither Ezekiel Emanuel nor Barack Obama.

You’re either leaving these details out or you never knew them. Are you malicious or merely an ignorant dupe?

If you’re a courageous sceptic, and not a coward, come back here and show me the text in the bill that provides for “death panels” that Sarah Palin would have to appear before to plead for medical care for her grandma or baby, as Palin claimed.

Come on, sceptic. Show me the text in the bill that would do that. I know, I know. You haven’t actually read it. Let me help you. It’s H.R. 3200. Go to Thomas and look it up. That’s http://thomas.loc.gov and, yes, I know, it is a government website. But I promise it won’t give you cooties. You can type with rubber gloves if it makes you feel better.

Now show me that text.
