Post-partisan politics requires participation from both sides...

Sure enough, President Obama is now facing the same kind of opposition that President Bill Clinton had to deal with: an enraged right that denies the legitimacy of his presidency, that eagerly seizes on every wild rumor manufactured by the right-wing media complex.

This opposition cannot be appeased. Some pundits claim that Mr. Obama has polarized the country by following too liberal an agenda. But the truth is that the attacks on the president have no relationship to anything he is actually doing or proposing.

Right now, the charge that's gaining the most traction is the claim that health care reform will create "death panels" (in Sarah Palin's words) that will shuffle the elderly and others off to an early grave. It's a complete fabrication, of course. The provision requiring that Medicare pay for voluntary end-of-life counseling was introduced by Senator Johnny Isakson, Republican — yes, Republican — of Georgia, who says that it's "nuts" to claim that it has anything to do with euthanasia.

And not long ago, some of the most enthusiastic peddlers of the euthanasia smear, including Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House, and Mrs. Palin herself, were all for "advance directives" for medical care in the event that you are incapacitated or comatose. That's exactly what was being proposed — and has now, in the face of all the hysteria, been dropped from the bill.

'Death to Obama' sign holder in Md. detained

By DAVID DISHNEAU (AP) – 1 day ago

HAGERSTOWN, Md. — The Secret Service is investigating a man who authorities said held a sign reading "Death to Obama" outside a town hall meeting on health-care reform in western Maryland.

The sign also read, "Death to Michelle and her two stupid kids," referring to the first name of President Barack Obama's wife, said Washington County Sheriff's Capt. Peter Lazich.

Lazich said deputies detained the unidentified, 51-year-old man near the entrance to Hagerstown Community College about 1 p.m. Wednesday after getting calls from a number of people attending the meeting held by Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md. Obama was not at the meeting.

The sheriff's office turned the man over to the Secret Service, Lazich said.

Barbara Golden, special agent in charge of the agency's Baltimore field office, said Thursday that an investigation is ongoing but declined further comment. A spokesman at the agency's Washington headquarters also declined to discuss the investigation.

Police said there were no other arrests among the nearly 1,000 people, some carrying protest signs, who came to the college for the meeting or demonstrated off-campus.

Cardin's national communications director, Sue Walitsky, called the incident "unfortunate." She said she was unaware of it until Thursday morning.

He was probably pissed off that the two stupid kids wouldn't get in his van full of candy.

Ever been to Hagerstown?  I'd be pissed on general principle if I was stuck there clinging to my guns and superstition.

It amazes me how many undercover racists have been exposed now that Obama is in office. Most of my customers, good ol boy rednecks who own cabinet shops or millwork shops, are always ripping him for their business being slow.

On the healthcare debate, the American right looks particularly stupid to the rest of the world when they judge Stephen Hawking's nationality on the basis of the accent of his voicebox.

As a Brit, I am not particularly patriotic, but I will defend our National Health Service as the best farging thing about this country. Basically, in Britain, you are not scared to get ill, as I suspect you are in the United States. To hear Sarah Palin talk of "death panels" sickens me. And if the right-wing wankers want to call it socialism, so be it. I would rather be thought of as a red than someone who denies healthcare to the very poorest in society.

Thanks for weighing in, henchman. The problem, of course, is that by and large the American Right doesn't give a shtein about perspective from the international community so your words are likely to fall on deaf ears.
