I beg to differ, but am way too lazy to actually fact check the precise point when the "town halls" started heating up. I believe it was prior to Mrs. Palin's well received "Facebook" publication calling ObamaCare "downright evil". I wish she had made a different word choice--like calling the plan "Un-American," thereby preempting Pelosi and company from using that word against dissenters.
Anyway, after the Facebook entry, she turned around and called for "restraint." What effect are we measuring?
No, she’s not responsible totally.
But why did Obama keep talking about “death panels” today if she hasn’t influenced the discussion? She is the only person to use the term death panel.
And between the “death panel” note and the “use restraint” note, you conveniently left out the 2 posts quoting more than a dozen sources, from WaPo to National Review to the Cato Institute, backing up her first statement.
So she is doing more than making hyperbolic statements; she is backing them up with sources - though the media and many readers are too lazy to look up her sources.
