ROVE caught lying (again) this time about "death books"

Death panels may be last week's news, but now we're on to the "death book." You've missed this? This is the booklet published by the Veterans Administration that tells our war heroes to just hurry up and die already.

Well, not exactly.

Karl Rove was on Fox last week talking up the features of this death book:


*****There's an interesting page in here. Page 99 lists a series of disease groups that people could reach out to as resources. But when it comes to advanced directives -- what to do at your end of your life to give guidance to your physician and your family -- it lists one group, Compassionate -- Compassionate Choices. And it gives their phone number and their log site. What they don't tell you, however, is that that really is the name of ... the Hemlock Society that is referenced there. This is a group that believes in assisted suicide.


Media Matters documents the following. There is no page 99 in the present booklet. It does not mention either Compassionate Choices or the Hemlock Society. An older version of the booklet used to. That version dates to 2007.

In other words, to the Bush era. So the Bush administration was the one telling veterans to just hurry up and die.

have a million people going out and repeating the lie. Yesterday someone brought that one up at the coffee shop, I didn't know what they was talking about. Whenever one of their lies is debuncked they come up with two more.
