Last week, I wrote about Glenn Beck's paranoid theory that Obama's health care plan would covertly deliver slavery reparations by redistributing health care to African Americans. It turns out that black people aren't the only undeserving minorities after grandma's health care. Filling in for Rush Limbaugh, Mark Steyn of the National Review earned his airtime by inventing a whole new health care persecution fantasy:

And what's interesting is that under the whole death panel scenario, you know, you'll be an 87-year-old who's paid his taxes all his life, but they're not going to give you the procedure because they think it's more in the country's interest to give it to a 38-year-old illegal immigrant who shouldn't even be here in the first place.

Since bashing illegal immigrants is much more acceptable in polite society than bashing black people (earth to Glenn Beck), the big talk show hosts and maybe even a few legislators will probably tear into this latest bit like hungry hyenas.

Between Nazi comparisons, race-baiting, and immigrant bashing, the health care bill is like Christmas in August for conservative persecution addicts. They haven't had this much fun since Homeland Security warned of a terrorist threat from right wing extremists.
