From the Guardian (UK):
"It is also an effort to push back against what many suspect is a coordinated misinformation campaign by Republican and health insurance industry opponents.
Former Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin last week said falsely
that Democratic legislation would require senior citizens and disabled individuals to appear before a "death panel" of bureaucrats who will decide whether to pay for healthcare. A frequent conservative refrain warns that the Democrats secretly plan to implement a system similar to Britain's National Health Service, and of healthcare rationing by government bureaucrats."


Just put the fact that it's "false", A LIE, right next to their claims ...

Gingrich (etc.) said falsley that the plan contained death panels ...

Republicans said falsley that Obama was not born in the United States ...

etc.

TO REPEAT A LIE IS TO TELL A LIE
