deather
n.—Gloss: A person who believes that one or more of the current health care proposals being discussed in Washington D.C. includes a “death panel” that would allow doctors to counsel patients about ways to end their own lives. Note: Patterned after truther. «After Sarah Palin’s comments about a “death panel,” the left coined a new phrase: “deathers.” They are trying to make “deathers” sound like crazy conspiracy nuts who say that the government is going to come to your house and kill you.» —“Who Is Advising Obama on Health Care?” by Glenn Beck Fox News Aug. 14, 2009.
