More Republican fear-mongering

A New York reader called my attention to a very funny posting at the Wonkette regarding the most recent Republican dirty tricks campaign to convince the public that the Obama White House is compiling an Enemies List of those spreading disinformation about the health insurance reform:

(T)his notion of the “enemies list” has become the hot new well-funded wingnut con-job from Republican operatives over the last 24 hours. * * * This stems from the Democrats’ recent pushback against the anti-health care reform movement’s operation to (a) shout violent nonsense at town hall meetings and (b) spread lies to America’s old people about how the government will first “take over their Medicare” and then murder each of them, for pleasure, well before that first sniffle becomes a full-blown cold or pancreatic cancer.

Emphasis added.

Seriously, these Republican dirty tricks operatives are dishonest, desperate, dangerous people. They are paid by the health insurance industry to stop President Obama's efforts to reform health care/health insurance. The facts do not support their position (which is simply, "no"). So, as they always do, the Republicans started cooking up lies and embarked on a campaign of disinformation and fearmongering. They will stop at nothing.
