It&#8217;s politics, of course. Here is the set-up, compliments of <a href=\"http:\/\/2012.talkingpointsmemo.com\/2011\/09\/tea-party-debate-audience-cheers-idea-of-letting-sick-man-without-insurance-die-video.php\">TPM<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The last two Republican presidential debates have been some of the  most macabre on record. Last time around, at the Reagan Library, the  crowd gave the biggest applause of the night to the <a href=\"http:\/\/2012.talkingpointsmemo.com\/2011\/09\/reagan-library-crowd-goes-wild-for-perrys-234-executions-video.php\">234 executions<\/a> that have occurred in Texas while Rick Perry was governor.<\/p>\n<p>In Tampa, Florida at the CNN\/Tea Party Express debate Monday night,  the tea party-filled audience literally cheered aloud for the uninsured  to be allowed to die.<\/p>\n<p>The moment came during an exchange between moderator Wolf Blitzer and Ron Paul, whose libertarian views often make for <a href=\"http:\/\/2012.talkingpointsmemo.com\/2011\/09\/ron-paul-nah-we-dont-need-an-faa.php\">good theater<\/a> at Republican debates.<\/p>\n<p>Blitzer asked if under Paul\u2019s libertarian philosophy, a sick man  without insurance should be allowed to die in the hospital rather than  have the state pay his medical bills. Before Paul could answer that  question, shouts of \u201cyes!\u201d and cheering bubbled up from the audience.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here is the video they provide.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"345\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/irx_QXsJiao\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Note how it&#8217;s cut off. That&#8217;s important, because you only have a couple of &#8220;Yeah&#8217;s&#8221; and maybe five or six hand claps. But what happens after? Here is the full video:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"345\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b4Am2bWQRNw\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The audience as a whole stirs with discomfort. They don&#8217;t show it, but you can hear it. TPM is being a bit disingenuous by suggesting the whole audience is agreeing with the few. It simply is not the case. <\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t an easy question, and I think both Blitzer and Paul handle it well. TPM? Not so much. You may not like Ron Paul&#8217;s answer, but he&#8217;s as steady as ever. They guy just doesn&#8217;t rattle easy.<\/p>\n<p>PS. I am not a member of the Tea Party. i just don&#8217;t like misleading and dishonest video editing to score political points.<\/p>\n<p>Hat Tip: <a href=\"http:\/\/althouse.blogspot.com\/2011\/09\/last-two-republican-presidential.html\"> Althouse<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Editing%20For%20Results%20-%20Does%20The%20Tea%20Party%20Audience%20Want%20People%20to%20Die%3F\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div><p>Here is the Headline: Tea Party Debate Audience Cheers Idea Of Letting Sick Man Without Insurance Die Translation&#8230; The Tea Party Are Monsters!!!!!
