Yes yes, I get the pun in this photograph: It’s not Youth in Asia that will kill your grandma, it’s euthanasia, or — if you ask the protesters in this photograph — Obama’s liberal, tree hugging death squads that will be the death to your loved ones. Whatever. Here’s what I don’t get: given that this is some angry conservative town hall protest somewhere in Ohio or Vermont or something, my granola-eating bleeding-heart Democrat self isn’t so sure if these particular protesters are being sarcastic, or if they honestly think a bunch of Asians are going to try to kill a bunch of old ladies somewhere in Tennessee. Give the racial name calling that has been thrown around lately at town halls, it wouldn’t surprise me.
What next?

Unfortunately, I can completely see this happening. Older conservatives complain that intellectual Democrats use “big words”to try to confuse people. I can imagine someone thinking “What, Youth in Asia will kill Grandma?”

When I was in high school I had to give a “persuasive” presentation in speech class. I chose euthanasia as my topic. My teacher gave me a quizzical look. Yep, she was thinking “Youth In Asia.”
