[Commenting on the "Let him die!" shouts in response to a hypothetical lack-of-insurance scenario at a Republican debate ...] "Could this perhaps serve as a different type of health care reform? You get a crowd of taxpayers together, and one by one, uninsured sick people would get up, tell their stories, and the moderator would then put it to the crowd: do we pay for them or not?" [audio clip from debate -- moderator: "Are you saying society should just let him die?" crowd: "Yeah!"] "And the crowd would decide! I can hear you saying, 'but Dave, that's a Death Panel.' No. We would call it a 'Freedom Committee'! No insurance companies, no forms, and the best part of all: you really find out who your friends are." -- Dave Ross, on CBS Radio, 2011-09-13 [any transcription errors are my fault]

There are no words to describe how glad I am that this is getting at least a little bit of media attention. Seriously, What God are they professing allegiance to?
