Rep. Carol Shea-Porter
Audience members heatedly questioned the constitutionally of a public option and whether Nazi principles of eugenics are behind the current push for health care reform.
(Probably really just confined to one questioner, it appears.)
“This isn’t about providing health care, it’s an economic policy,” said Alan Demers, 23, of Quincy, Mass. “It’s about cutting costs. It’s about killing human beings.”
Demers, a supporter of once-jailed presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche, said Obama’s plan for a public option is “inexplicably Nazi.”
“I am offended by what you said about the President,” Shea-Porter shot back in a terse response. “I’m sorry, you must read the bill — it says nothing at all about death panels.”

Frank faulted," Aug. 27). I fully understood her position: She was not a constituent, but part of a delegation of supporters of Lyndon LaRouche from New Hampshire who came to peddle the LaRouche line. LaRouche and his followers have invoked the Hitler analogy against every president in my memory, and I have consistently expressed my complete lack of respect for this type of attack, whether it was against Obama, either Bush, Clinton or Reagan. Finally, I hope that people will understand that, especially for those of us who are Jewish, reckless invocation of Hitler's terrible crimes diminishes what we hope will be their terrible historical significance. - U.S. Rep.

Similar to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6WJZENqmt0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDJ2o8hxW7g&feature=related I would also like to throw a few stray thoughts I meant to throw but skipped past while typing this post up. #1: I believe it is to the dailykos link, but there was a comment there saying this reminds him/her of "The Obama Deception", The Alex Jones film which relies heavily on the expertise of one Webster Tarpley (and a lot of other figures of that type). #3: The prisonplanet link includes a comment that denounces Larouche by pointing to an LPAC posted denounciation of Alex Jones as a "populist" (negative word for them) that is floating that oh-so-insane conspiracy that the government is hoaxing the Swine Flu epidemic, and pushing vaccines. It's an interesting relationship we see here -- though I gather mostly the org are interested in shutting down this competition for mindspace for their membership (one well on the "Eugenics plot" wagon) while at the same time we see comments left there by way of trying to skim some things. http://www.bostonherald.com/news/opinion/letters/view/20090827frank_fires_back/
