GOP Rep tries the "death panel" line at town hall.

[greenman3610]

Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R) fields questions at a healthcare reform listening session in New Port Richey, Florida. The false claim of 'death panels' in the ACA was PolitiFact's "Lie of the Year" in 2009.

"..The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield."

1. Can't watch the video since I live in Seattle...

but death panels existed long before the ACA so they are liars.

3. Sorry? You can't watch it because you're in Seattle?

4. Google for "directors rules seattle"

And, you'll see almost 3/4 of a million results that are mostly complaints. Our rulers like Kshama Sawant that has a husband that works for Microsoft that provides most of her income are all anti-Internet. There's a reason people here in Seattle mostly have absolutely crappy Internet access.

7. Maybe it's time to start getting the Times delivered to the door again.

Just in case.

8. But it is the Seattle PI here that is less fascist.

They've stood against Kshama Sawant that has a husband that works for Microsoft which is where she makes most of her money so she is anti-Internet.

12. I think you're spreading misinformation

I have never had trouble with internet the 18 years I've lived here

10. So you can watch it but your service is shitty?

Strange, all i could find, with a quick check, is that she's supposedly a socialist and is very anti-drumpf.

11. I'm in Seattle and can view it just fine
