SpokenTruth said: Back in the early days of the Affordable Care Act (commonly refereed to as Obamacare) there were several people on the right proclaiming that the measure would institute "death panels". This is the notion that bureaucrats would pick and choose who dies while healthcare is rationed out to the more healthy. The hypocrisy is that many of those same people who grossly lied about death panels are now practically championing that exact same notion right now. One of those hypocrites is Ben Shapiro. He wrote many classic articles in the media back in those days such as "The Death Panels Are Coming". It largely details the recommendations of the US Preventative Services Task Force on when to schedule certain preventative screenings but to Ben and his ilk, it meant rationing of health care and the slippery slope which would eventually lead to actual death panels. But today, Shapiro is singing the praises of letting bureaucrats legislate the death of grandma and grandpa in order to get the economy going again. To say nothing of his "All Lives Matter" counter-protests or his first trimester anti-abortion stances. I don't mean to pick on poor Ben here and I could have just as easily selected Sarah Palin considering she coined the "death panel" term but attacking her feels like attacking someone with special needs.

Seriously, Shapiro is more double-faced than the Roman god Janus ffs.
