Question

I was reading this post by Ed Brayton this morning, and he has brought up a great point:

Where were all the astro-turf, tea-baggging, "get your government hands off me" conservatives when Terri Schiavo's husband wanted to take her off life support?

The people that are disrupting town hall meetings today with the premise that they are opposed to national health care because it means government intrusion into peoples' private lives are the same ones that wanted the Supreme fracking Court to intervene and keep Schiavo's husband from making a decision that he was legally obliged to make.

These kinds of contradictions would be worth pointing out to the astro-turfers, but assuming they understand what irony is would be taking a leap of faith I'm not ready to take.

I'm quite certain that even if the turfers did understand irony it wouldn't matter because Glenn Beck would blame the Schiavo thing on liberals and tea-baggers would believe him.

I'm just going to start blaming Glenn Beck for everything.

I told you I was lazy.
