Minn Post Goes After Palin-Bachmann "Health Care Hysteria"

From Minn Post's Daily Glean:

But how does this turn into a discussion of Obama Death panels, and, as the debate has trickled down to the masses, an idea that Obama's health care plan is really about euthanizing the elderly and the disabled? Who would promote such nonsense?

Well, in her MySpace editorial, Palin herself credits Minnesota's own Michele Bachmann: "Rep. Michele Bachmann highlighted the Orwellian thinking of the president's health care advisor, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of the White House chief of staff, in a floor speech to the House of Representatives." City Pages has some further analysis, including a video of Bachmann's floor speech; Bachmann primarily quotes from McCaughey's column, but adds, "If you're a grandmother with Parkinson's or a child with cerebral palsy, watch out."
