Under no circumstance would these insufferable elites ever look to "pretty up" society through the "shaming" of drug addicts, alcoholics, sexual degenerates, lazy welfare leeches, or any others who loot the treasury and spread much more human misery than nicotine and ice cream. And anyone who suggested such a thing would immediately be branded a bully by the very same elites now testing the waters to bully-by-shame the overweight.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

But there are no “death panels,” and don’t you DARE say that there are.

[SeminoleCounty]

Just wonder if they would do the same to men who have sex with each other? Gay men, even non-AIDS gay men, have a much lower life expectancy...with more health issues. Will liberals pushing Socialized Medicine be willing to Death Panel gays?

[SandRat]

I thought there were legal prohibitions against offensive words to the overweight.

[cripplecreek]

Keep in mind that these are the people who scream the loudest about bullying in schools but happily point out new targets.

[tallyhoe]

Just because you eat healthy, don’t smoke and exercise doesn’t mean you will live longer. You can have an accident, heart attack, stroke. cancer!!! When god decides it is your time you will go!!!

[Persevero]

We need to shame active homosexuals, too. They have way way higher STD rates, not to mention cancers and AIDS.

Also, the promiscuous.

At bottom, the left seeks a king who will decide who lives and who dies.

While normal people just need a referee to resolve conflicts among people of good will, and a cop to keep the bandits at bay. And they are perfectly capable of drawing straws among themselves to fulfill both roles.

It’s time for Rubenesque people to stand up against us skinny twiggy people. While they’re at it, how about forcing food companies to stop putting so many chemicals and preservatives into our foods and cigarettes. Yeah,I’m not too thrilled about smoking carpet glue.

Another thing. People used to be “normal” sized back in the early nineties. Then they got fat. I’m wondering if this didn’t start when people got to carrying their bottled water e v e r y w h e r e.

[Secret Agent Man]

if they made these people criminals, then they’d love them, be on their side, and run stories how we had to understand them, and that they were victimsof society, bla bla blah.

libtards are evil, people hating idiots. they love criminals and hate regular people having choices in their everyday lives.

[irv]

How about letting a**holes die? Publicly name them and refuse them all medical treatment. After all, they’re just going to die miserable and alone anyway. And they degrade the quality of life for everyone around them besides.

I say those people do MUCH more harm to society, both financially and emotionally, than smokers or fat people. So let’s get rid of them!

(On a related note, we can use Piers Morgan as the poster child for a**holes who damage society and don’t deserve medical treatment).

There are other ways, of course, that Socialists/ Commies deal with ‘those who do not comply’ - gulags, working farms in the interior, death camps. You CAN make folks do things (in your most deranged dreams).

And why on earth is the man able to call himself ‘bioETHICIST?” What of his proposal is ‘ethical’ in any stretch of the imagination? How about something more fitting, like ‘death-monger’ or ‘other-eliminator’? Because you can darned well know that the folks who wrote Obamacare for US but not for them, will not apply the obesity measures to their own fat selves.

[bboop]

Oh, another question. How do they quantify it? Would 5 pounds be overweight? What if it’s on a person who is only 4’8”? What if it is muscle, like a sumo wrestler or a line-backer, but the guy looks fat? Or is off the weight charts?

I am not sure liberals are smart enough to figure ALL these things out. What if it’s a fat guy like Michael Moore, whom they like? Ah, it’s probably for the Other Animals.

[Impala64ssa]

not to mention, the slow but inexorable push to legalize and glamorize drug use.
Paul McCartney comes to mind. A strict vegan who smokes more marijuana than Cheech and Chong, Bob Marley, and Rick James could ever handle. Let's see, eating meat, fish or dairy, baaaad, but inhaling fumes that's at least as dangerous as tobacco smoke, gooood. Am I missing something here?

[Girlene]

...........”But because they don’t smoke between shots of Tequila at club “Thin, Rich, Shallow, Mean, and Stupid,” run out for Cheddar Melts between one-night stands, and want to believe chic equals humanity and who needs God when you look great in a little black dress — they’re coming for the rest of us. “..................

Spot on.

[SaraJohnson]

Oh goodie. More people for the American lefties to harm and murder. They never get enough innocent blood. Obamacare is like hitting the lottery for these people of evil. I can not imagine living while hating human life like these people. How could anyone live with such a cold, dead heart...soulless?

How far will they travel into genocide? Is there any way to stop them? After all these years of struggle, we have not been able to stop them from the mass murder of unborn babies.

I fear we will not be able to put a dent in the murder dreamed up by this federal death committee and their globalist pals through the political process. They are so active and committed to the goal of mass murder and now they have total power and authority to do it. They have some many new avenues of murder to follow with the power of Federal healthcare.

[onedoug]

Let Smokers Die? barry too?

[GOPJ]

Hey, these guys would say the same about AIDS victims, right?

[Figment]

The left wants to shame the obese? Have they looked at their voting base?

[Intolerant in NJ]

AP, NBC Ask: Time to Publicly Shame the Obese, Let Smokers Die?...on the other hand, a physician in the audience at one of the National Review Instutute sessions on C-Span today told of a 450 pound patient of his who told him to go "F - myself" because the doctor had tried to get the patient to follow some measures to improve his health - the patient said if he did that he'd lose his Social Security Disability coverage - in some cases it might be quite proper to require recipients to follow health guidelines - or lose their benefits......
