Hat tip to greendem, who posted an earlier diary discussing the entire "most harmful" list. This diary focuses on a specific Democratic frame that should come out of this story:
Republicans Admit they Want to Destroy Social Security
Here's how the story could be written from the Democratic perspective:
In a stunning admission of the true Republican agenda to destroy Social Security, a panel of top conservative activists has named Social Security the second "most harmful harmful government program."
According to the panel, which included 36 conservative Republicans, Social Security is one of ten government programs that "attack our values and corrode the spirit of liberty that makes America the greatest nation."

Other programs called "most harmful" by the conservative panel include Medicare, Medicaid, and the Endangered Species Act.
The conservative panel includes Former House Republican Leader Dick Armey, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, and long-time Republican activist Grover Norquist.
Asked about the list, Democratic Senator X said it "came as no surprise."
"The American people understand that President Bush and other Republican leaders in Washington don't believe in Social Security, and that's why they opposed the Republican privatization plan earlier this year. This new attack on Social Security, from some of the President's most influential supporters, only confirms that the American people were right."
