GOP Crowd Cheers Death of Uninsured

CNN/Tea Party Debate Audience Cheers Letting Uninsured Comatose Man Die

When Ron Paul was asked during Monday's tea party presidential debate if an uninsured 30-year-old who became seriously ill should be allowed to die, several audience members yelled "yes!" and were met by cheers and laughter. Paul's response: "That's what freedom is all about, taking your own risk."

That video is not the most vile thing I've ever seen but it ranks right up there near the top. Paul could have made major points by chastising the audience but instead told us that churches should be taking care of the uninsured. I'm amazed that churches aren't freaking out everytime someone throws that suggestion on the table.
