Right-wing protesters at GOP rally display prominent sign tying health care to the Holocaust.
Think Progress —
... Matt Yglesias observes, “There are all kinds of nutty people in the world, but these kinds of things are the wages of a conservative leadership and media that’s consistently tried to drum-up opposition to health care reform not by opposing things that are actually in the bill, but with demagogic opposition to completely fabricated provisions.” ...

Below The Beltway —
Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann is hosting a rally against the health care reform bill at the Capitol today.
Matthew Yglesias passes along these photos:
And, a closeup:
Yea, sorry I can’t attend Michelle.
The only nuts I want at my parties are in the bowl.

NJDC: G.O.P. Must Condemn Tea Partiers’ Anti-Semitism and Holocaust Comparisons
NJDC Blog —
... Today’s G.O.P. “Tea Party” on Capitol Hill opposing health insurance reform invoked disgusting Holocaust imagery and outright anti-Semitism. Top Republican Party leaders including House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH), House Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA), and House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-IN) stood before a crowd that included a banner protesting health care reform and displaying corpses from the Holocaust. Yet another ...

Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
Michele Bachmann held a rally on Capitol Hill Thursday to try and "scare" lawmakers into voting against health care reform. Will it work? Probably not, but at least she got all these interesting signs out of it.

Did Hannity And Bachmann Just Make Up Their Account Of Bachmann’s Health Care Protest?
News Hounds —
Sean Hannity took time out from covering the shootings at Fort Hood to give some PR for Michele Bachmann’s little tea party protest in Washington earlier yesterday (11/5/09). The two grossly exaggerated the crowd size, perpetuated a fiction that the astroturfing specialists, Americans for Prosperity, had played no role in organizing the event and left out any mentions of the extremist, anti-Obama signs, many of which had nothing to do with health care reform. With video.
Before introducing Bachmann and Rep. Steve King, whom Hannity introduced as another ...

... This one is just odious, I have to admit. Because this sort of thing shows up at political demonstrations more and more, but this wasn't a rally or a demonstration, officially it was a "press conference" hosted by Representative Michele Bachmann, complete with lots and lots of Republicans standing on the stage and speaking from the podium. A photo of what I'm talking about is available at ThinkProgress, I should add. This should be used by any Democrat debating healthcare reform this weekend with any Republican, since even if they weren't there, it is just as useful. ...

... , called on her to apologize for the offending images at the Capitol Hill rally, which she’s been largely credited with inspiring and organizing. Yadda yadda. At any rate, this is all background to the real point of this post. Now, with newspaper headlines in print editions, headlines are usually not the responsibility of the writer/reporter who does the actual story. It’s a copy editor who writes those. I’m not sure who writes the headlines on the Strib’s online publications – if it was Kevin Diaz, or some minion in the copy or web department. But someone put a title ...
