The Right’s next best effort at fear mongering, this time on a domestic issue, is DontKillGrandma.com. It looks like they’ve started only in the past week or two (late October or very early November). What’s stunning is the website’s basic premise, that someone — anyone — wants to Kill Grandma.
Look, this isn’t some Kill Bill: Vol. 2 sequel — This is real. It’s unacceptable to hold Grandma hostage to such tactics, virtual or otherwise. It’s an wholly unintelligent tactic to gain notice and make people afraid, made all the moreso pathetic by the simple fact those behind DontKillGrandma.com know full well that every red, white, and blue-blooded American would stand shoulder-to-shoulder in defense of any Grandma.
And yet they somehow confuse wanting to make healthcare better with the thought of actually killing someone.
Here’s a few precious things DontKillGrandma.com followers advocate right there on the website . . .
“Can we hold sit-ins across the country in the middle of America’s busiest highways. That might get their attention.” – rachel says on November 2, 2009 at 1:23PM
“Stop the communist take over of America and our grandmas, kill the bill!” – Mark Gunson says on November 4, 2009 at 11:06AM
Real rocket scientists, huh!
For the record, DontKillGrandma.com is sponsored by the South Florida Tea Party, FreedomWorks, and Tea Party Patriots, all highly partisan, questionably funded organizations claiming to be ‘grassroots’ but showing clear signs of being no such things.
