Garrison Keillor, the "Lake Wobegon" author and National Public Radio icon, is offering a solution to a couple of the nation's problems with one swoop: Give members of the GOP "aspirin and hand sanitizer" but if they have more complicated health issues, let them die.

The comments come virtually at the same time voices are being raised in Washington over an assertion by U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., that Republicans' health care plan for the sick is to "die quickly."

"The Republican plan," the Democrat said on the House floor, "Don't get sick, and if you do get sick, die quickly."

The idea is not new.Every despot in history has wanted to eliminate his opposition What he seems to forget is that this is the part of the population that pays taxes, and the part of the population that he mocks in his taxpayer funded Prarie Home Companion

Those that hate are those who know deep inside that they are in the wrong, but are to stubborn to admit it. (See Garofolo, Keilor, Grayson, Madonna...etc, etc)

and he seemed like such a down to earth commentator on “prairie home companion. Why do the talented and creative always turn out to be douches?

Wanting people dead is contrary to everything that he has ever espoused?????? Go figure. Maybe too much money and prestige he no longer censors what he says.

Do you get the sinking feeling there’s going to be blood in the streets before this thing is over?

Or plumbers, electricians, farmers.

Or electricity, water, or sewage treatment.

People that actually DO things for a living tend to be evil conservatives.

“Give members of the GOP “aspirin and hand sanitizer” but if they have more complicated health issues, let them die.”

Good thinking...but when the barbarians are at the gate, who will fight them? You? Probably not. Healthcare ain’t gonna stop the bleeding the world wants to put on you, you moron...it’s unfortunate we have so many willing to protect this idiot and he doesn’t understand how it works...yet.

Ah. A "Final Solution" as proposed by Lake Woebegone's own Heinrich Himmler.

Be forewarned: we won't go quietly and without a struggle, Heinrich.

Which begs the question: Would America be better off without Garrison Keillor?

Kiellor may be close to a good idea. Let’s let the Republicans continue with private health care and insurance and let Keillor and all his liberal buddies be forced to recieve govt. run health care. (and let them pay for it, too) I could live with that.
