They say truth is stranger than fiction, but what about when truth IS fiction. Lots of people are showing up at town hall meetings held across the country by senators and representatives. As the senators and representatives begin talking, these people, mostly old people, begin shouting about how President Obama wants to kill old people with something called, "Death Panels." The fact that he doesn't just seems to make them shout the lie even louder.
One senator, after hearing the crowd say they oppose "socialized medicine," asked how many were on Medicare. Almost everyone raised their hands. She then asked, since Medicare is "socialized medicine," how many want to give up their Medicare. No one raised their hand.
Jesus said, "the truth will set you free." But these people wouldn't know the truth if it sat up and bit them on their Depends.
