The problem with your logic is that most anti government takeover of healthcare protests is spontaneous grass roots effort. Most pro socialized medicine response is highly organized and often paid activism.

To equate the two is ludicrous.

I agree with this which was sort of the point I was trying to make. They are two different things.

The "death panel" discussion was more or less a Limbaugh-esque development, typical hyperbole. For the most part, it was development out of the entertainment sector (with the exception of a couple of pols who jumped into the act). I never saw any mainstream discussion involving "death panels". It is a leap from "concern over bureaucrats limiting access to health care" to "death panels".
