Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin set off a frenzied debate about health care reform when she accused President Obama of planning to establish "death panels" via health care reform. Now, proponents of the president's health care agenda are taking to Palin's preferred medium to attack her claims, with a Facebook ad asking Palin to "stop lying."

The labor-affiliated group Americans United For Change is running the Facebook ad directly targeted at the more than 800,000 listed "supporters" of Palin on Facebook, according to Greg Sargent of the Washington Post blog the Plum Line.

"Health insurance reform is too important for outright lies," the ad says. "Send Sarah Palin a message; tell her to stop lying about 'death panels.'"

The ad reportedly directs people to a page on the Americans United for Change Web site with a submission form to send a letter to Palin.

It has yet to be seen whether rebutting Palin's false "death panel" claims on Facebook proves any more effective than doing so through traditional media. As the Washington Post points out, the persistence of the death panel rumor is "a stunning illustration of the traditional media's impotence."

Needs work.

As the Washington Post points out, the persistence of the death panel rumor is "a stunning illustration of the traditional media's impotence" to any more call the truth a lie and a lie the truth.

That's much more accurate.

[dalebert]

So one talking head is quoting another talking head to bemoan the fact the media is an echo chamber filled with talking heads?

I'm trying to contact them to pass along my new slogan ~ "Death to the Socialists and their running dog lackeys" ~ but there doesn't seem to be any clear-cut email site available for that.

They must be getting negative fallout or something.

Death Panels or what ever you want to call them - ain't no lie! The wording is obtuse and meant to confuse...but Aunt Polly and Grand Pa are on the short list of medical care. (Doctor Death)

Sarah Palin can be believed...what a relief to find someone close to government that will tell you the truth.

Gee, they can just pound sand.

Can the labor affiliated groups stop using the term labor as they are more intent on looting than working as the word labor implies.

[HiTech RedNeck]

And, they’re all wee-weed up.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

But, but, but how can they take the death panel verbiage out of the bill if it never existed? /s

[Brugmansian]

the ad says. "Send Sarah Palin a message; tell her to stop lying about 'death panels.'"

Terrific ad. Hope they run it a lot.

Little better than forcing the enemy to buy ads claiming it isn't creating "death panels".
