Stumble ThisPart 2 of Jon Stewart's interview with Betsy McCaughey, former Lt. Governor of New York.
She continues on about how the U.S. government is trying to kill old people.
Don't watch if the thought of seeing the person who influences Sarah Palin's ideals and thoughts in person freaks the living daylights out of you.

Even though she's a loon, the best way to combat that is with tactful logic. Getting in to a shouting match (as many talk show hosts like to do) helps bring the argument down to the credibility of the arguer rather than the credibility of the argument.
And Jon keeps his conversations from breaking down to that point better than anyone!
In the end, they're right where they started - universal health care is designed to kill old people / no its not. Why doesn't someone ask whether it kills old people elsewhere? Is the Right saying that it kills old people in every country that has it, or is it a peculiarly American invention?
So very good
