New Hampshire state Rep. Michael Cahill (D) once asked of his fellow lawmakers that if the budget isn’t going include people with disabilities, then why not euthanize them.
“Since we are refusing to raise revenues to fund needed programs, to fund services to disabled, for example, have you looked at euthanasia?” asked Cahill during a debate on the budget on Wednesday.
He was quickly called out by House Speaker Shawn Jasper, who stated that his comments were “inappropriate.”
Cahill later apologized for using a ‘poor choice of words.’
Oops! Notice its a Democrat!
I don’t care what he “meant”, what he thought he meant, or whatever he was trying to say. There should NEVER be a referral to either in the same sentence. What a insensitive p***k! Please come look my 8 year old visually impaired child and dare to say such a thing. Disgusting ppl in this world sadn me
If we the American people have to be held to a hi standard of not “JOKING” about a person’s race, religion (especially Muslims now), sexual orientation, etc. Don’t you think a professional politician that has the power over people’s lives should be held to a higher standard, of “joking around” then the rest of us morons. Or maybe the senate/congress should pass a bill to euthanize retired persons over the age of 66, because they can’t work at Walmart as a greeter. Ho I was just trying to protect persons under the age of 65 that are retired. I’m sorry I was “Just Joking”. If you haven’t noticed some of us are a little bit senitive about the way Politicians are making statements these days. I believe this is due to the way our current Administration is running or “not running” our Country. Joke or not it was still insulting!
He shouldn’t have brought up euthanasia. Yes more money is needed to help but as a person disabled with bipolar disorder I am horrified that anyone brings up that. I am reminded of$#%&!@*Germany and that scares me!
Democrat go figure
Another ignorant person looking for a place to be stupid and found there place !!!!!! A socialist communist liberal democrat.
I read the article. It may have been sarcasm, but the facts still stand. They always laugh and use supposed “sarcasm”. Just as they did at the Green Gulch symposium and every other atrocity in history. However, there are actual people in our own government who unfortunately agree that people over the age of 70, handicapped, and even horny teens are social drains; whose babies should be aborted. Not to forget, the Nazis got their ideas from such meetings of the mindless. Margaret Sanger went around the world selling the same ideas. Modern abortion was born out of Germany. You must have missed the comments of news anchors and even Ted Turner. Yes. It is a reality we must not take lightly. We even had a court battle over a husbands right to pull the plug on his wife against her parents will; for the insurance. Joking? I don’t think so.
