Free to Die - NYTimes.com:

'via Blog this' During the last Presidential elections, when Barack Obama was challenging John McCain, some of the rallies hosted by VP candidate, Sarah Palin seemed to attract what I thought of as the "lunatic fringe" of the American electorate. They shouted things "Tell the government to keep their hands off my Medicare" and other inanities that made me wonder if they'd been released from local mental hospitals. They also shouted "kill him" from time-to-time when Sarah Palin mentioned the Democratic candidate's name. I would never imagine that I would see these "right wing-nuts" act as the foundation for an apparently significant caucus of the Republican Party. Shouting "Yes,yes" when the moderator of the last Republican debate asked if a young man who had not obtained health insurance and was now suffering from a life-threatening condition should be just left to die. Call them "Goons" "Ghouls" or Right-Wing Terrorists, these are the people who support Rick Perry, who might possibly (God forbid) be the next president of the United States
