An example of subliminal messaging against the ACA

I was reading the newspaper from the region of the state where I was raised and I encountered the following article that pertains to controlling book inventories at small public libraries. Note the headline and the opening paragraph:


The death panel of books


AT THE height of the 2010 election, politicians warned that President Obama’s health care plan would result in the formation of “death panels” to decide who would live and who would die.

If you want to see such a process in action, visit – not a hospital, but a public library – the Joe Barnhart Bee County Library, for instance.

Its next book sale is in mid-August, and Director Cynthia Blatherwick already is at work deciding which books will lose their place on the shelves and be consigned to the sale counter.

It’s a complex task known by the acronym CREW: continuous review, evaluation and weeding.

It is amazing what lengths the right-wing media will take in order to show their opposition to the ACA.
