>>Thought you might be "amused" at how some things never die... Town hall erupts in jeers after GOP official lies about ACA ‘death panels’ Constituents weren’t having it. Politifact’s 2009 “ Lie of the Year” was brought back from the dead during a Saturday town hall hosted by Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL)?—?and the mostly pro-ACA crowd wasn’t having any of it. Bill Akins?—?chair of Pasco County, Florida’s Republican Party?—?told the roughly 250 people in attendance that his problem with the Affordable Care Act is that “there is a provision in there that anyone over the age of 74 has to go before what is effectively a death panel.” As soon as the words “death panel” left Akins’ mouth, the crowd erupted in boos, jeers, and chants of “liar, liar.” “It’s in there folks. You’re wrong!” Akins replied, falsely, as Bilirakis tried to restore order. Akins then calls the angry crowd “children.” <snip> thinkprogress.org
