Too many republican leaders are acquiescing to a poisonous "demagoguery" that threatens the party's long-term credibility, says a veteran GOP House member Rep. Bob Inglis. He suggested in interviews with The Associated Press that tea party favorites such as former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and right-wing talk show hosts like Glenn Beck are the culprits. He cited a claim made famous by Palin that the Democratic health care bill would create "death panels" to decide whether elderly or sick people should get care. "There were no death panels in the bill ... and to encourage that kind of fear is just the lowest form of political leadership. It's not leadership. It's demagoguery" he said.
Most of the GOP was in on the scare grandma with death panels propaganda campaign. Some of them liked it so much they're trotting it out again. It's of note this comes to us from one of their own who was thrown out, we suppose, for not being enough of a liar.
