Evil Tea Party Senate Candidate Joked About Graphic X-Rays Of Dead Patients He Posted Online!
by Sky Palma
In
a new and bizarre low in Tea Party antics, the challenger to Sen. Pat
Roberts’ (R-KS) senate seat in Kansas posted graphic x-ray images to his
Facebook, depicting the injuries of deceased patients -- and then
proceeded to poke fun at them.
According to the Topeka Capital Journal:
[box

for the Republican nomination with calls for federal heath care reform,
said in an interview the medical images were legally uploaded to public
social media sites and other online venues for educational purposes.
They also served, he said, to demonstrate evil lurking in the world.
However,
Wolf and others viewing these Facebook postings relentlessly poked fun
at the dead or wounded. The gunshot victim, Wolf joked online, wasn't
going to complain about the awkward positioning of his head for an
X-ray. In a separate Facebook comment, Wolf wrote that an X-ray of a man
decapitated by gunfire resembled a wounded alien in a “Terminator” film
and that the image offered evidence people “find beauty in different
things.”[/box]
Medical professionals slammed Wolf for his actions.
"The
dignity and privacy of the individual should be protected," John Carney
of the Center for Practical Bioethics told the Capital-Journal. "It
doesn't sound like they're being protected if they're, obviously, on
Facebook."
A spokesman for Wolf's opponent, Pat Roberts, also took an opportunity to condemn Wolf’s actions.
"For
any doctor to make patient records public and then use the records for
public discussion and entertainment is just unthinkable," spokesman
Leroy Towns said. "Allegations of such lack of judgment demand extensive
scrutiny and investigation."
