Here's the woman who started the notion of death panels, doing interviews with Dylan Ratigan and Jon Stewart. Don't miss the Stewart interview, especially. Unfortunately I couldn't seem to clip the video, so you'll have to click through to the Health Spectator site to see them.

The first is nominally a debate between Betsy McCaughey and Anthony Weiner, but moderator/interviewer Dylan Ratigan gets heavily involved. This debate starts out well enough, but it turns into a bit of a free-for-all when Dylan Ratigan refuses to let Betsy McCaughey ignore his question and go off on a tangent to scare seniors with accusations about health care reform. McCaughey is obviously not used to being called on this tactic and becomes defensive.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://healthspectator.com/2009/10/28/betsy-mccaughey-on-healthcare-reform-and-death-panels/"><P>In a separate interview with Jon Stewart (below), McCaughey is credited with raising the issue from which Sarah Palin coined the phrase “death panels.” Stewart attempts to hold McCaughey to her task, though more gracefully than Ratigan. The amazing thing is the way McCaughey consumes the whole interview with evasive tactics, never actually coming to the point of demonstrating where in the bill the text she refers to allegedly exists. (It doesn’t.) The whole interview is a study in evasiveness.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/AA0FCCC3-EF0E-4647-A6FA-225136018FC4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
