Has the Republican leadership disavowed the "let them die" crowd?

1. Does an identifiable Republican leadership even exist any more?

I don't think so.

3. Boner, Can't-or, Ryan ...

Any of them ... any at all would suffice. The silence, however, is deafening.

5. They are all terrified of their teabagger "supporters"

and becoming a target themselves. One can only hope enough sane Americans are seeing this extremist, hate-filled, yet very influential core constituency of the RETHUG party that they will be scared off the REHUGS for a very long time.

6. They don't dare say a word. They're scared to death of these

people.

2. Do the Republicans have a speaking acquaintance with humanity?

Never mind

4. I haven't seen any indication that the Republican leadership knows any better than the baggers.

7. Why would they disavow their base?

That's for Democrats, who love nothing so much as a good hippie-punching to establish their fiscal/military/death penalty bona fides.

8. Rick Perry was "taken aback"

9. That's the closest thing I've seen to a disavowal.

But that's not good enough, not surprising though.

10. It is interesting the many DUers are making a

comparison between this crowd shouting "let him die," the the crowd that shouted "kill him."

They are dragging in other Christian references as well.

Most of the time, it is easy to attract a lot of anti-Christian sentiment from DUers.

11. Yeah… right!
