During the course of the last week, you may have wondered why anti-health care reform activists are so riled up--what buttons are being pushed by the people encouraging the town hall disruptions.

Well, here's video footage of a Patients First bus tour event in Pueblo, CO, that shines some light on that.

Patients First is a project of Americans for Prosperity--one of the key conservative interests groups helping to organize the town hall protests we've been covering. The speaker repeats the debunked conservative canard that Democratic health care reform will mandate physician assisted suicide. "Adolf Hitler issued six million end of life orders--he called his program the final solution. I kind of wonder what we're going to call ours."

And after comparing Democratic health care reform efforts to the murderous regimes of Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot, the speaker advises his audience to "go to offices of members of Congress and put the fear of god in them."

program he is referring to is OPTIONAL, and it's to establish a living will if WANTED (as a free service to the elderly). And that similar programs have been in place for 20 years.

And, finally, that this was included in one of the House bills on HCR by... drumroll... a republican!

(I think it was a plant, one that wouldn't be objected to by the majority, just so they could roll out this fear mongering program now to kill the whole HCR movement).

of the border. What a relief to know they will never come to commie pinko Canada. No other country will appeal to them either so I guess you're stuck with them. Poor you!
