Are you wary of the federal government using taxpayer dollars to advise senior citizens on "end-of-life" issues? If so, you're just "cruel," according to former ABC reporter Linda Douglass, now the communications director for the White House Office of Health Reform.

Douglass appeared on MSNBC's Aug. 12 "Dr. Nancy," with host Nancy Snyderman. Snyderman pointed out that some of the discussion about end-of-life care is just craziness and these "rumors" are difficult to combat (even though there is precedent for governments involved heavily in health care to take such measures, as Michelle Malkin pointed out.)

Right. Letting those old people live is cruel, ain't it, Linda, you f***ing evil nazi b***h?

Now, now, they are talking about “Death Panel” comments that even FNC Cavuto and Megn Kelly said are nonsense.

I picture it looking something like the trial scene in the Twilight Zone episode 'The Obsolete Man'

The problem with this Twilight Zone picture you posted is the judge is the wrong race and sex. Shouldnt it be a 'Wise Latino female' judge telling the white male he is obsolete just like we told fathers they were in the 1990s??

Okay, now that's funny!

Yeah, pretty much you can stop right there. If it's anything other than printing money and making war then I'm wary of it.

Cruel, huh? Ms. Douglass should look up her boss's voting record in the Illinois senate. I think she might rethink her use of the word "cruel" after reading that he voted three times against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. He voted three times that, in cases where a baby survived an abortion attempt, the child should be allowed to die, rather than give it basic human care, like a warm blanket and a sip of water.

And this is the guy who wants to reform health care.
