Sebelius: Obamacare Opponents Are Like Segregationists By Andrew Johnson July 22, 2013 4:20 PM

As Andy McCarthy noted in his column over the weekend, during her speech to the NAACP last week, Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius likened opponents of the Affordable Care Act to opponents of desegregation. She also tried to draw similarities between the creation of Medicare and Medicaid and the enactment of civil-rights legislation from the same era.

“What we heard back then is what we’re hearing now, the same arguments against change, the same fear and misinformation that opponents used are the ones opponents are spreading now,” she said of concerns during the 1960s about civil-rights legislation and new health-care laws.

She urged attendees to be ready to do “the kind of work” on Obamacare “that the NAACP has done for more than a century to move us forward.”

“You showed it in the early fights against lynching and the fight for desegregation . . . you showed it by supporting a health law 100 years in the making,” Sebelius explained.

Later in the speech, Sebelius heralded “the voices of progress” that will mark the October 1 date on which the law’s health-care exchanges open, comparing the event to the Emancipation Proclamation. “They echo from church bells rung at midnight 150 years ago to educate our nation of a people’s emancipation,” she said.

So, when someone opposes a Dem bill for any reason: Start the name calling, the more outlandish the better.
Sigh.

Well its pretty clear that a Obama Care promoter is a Moron.

Which would you rather be?

I propose that all of Congress take an IQ test and anyone below average get retired immediately. That should empty the halls.

It’s like Selma Alabama all over again, huh?

Democrats stomp their feet and bring out their biggest club. Anyone who does not submit is a racist.

Yeah, whatever.

And Sebelius is like an abortionist.

Wait ‘til she finds out how THEY come out in the history books.

Fifty five million dead and counting.

Alinsky 101 : Demonize the opposing point of view.

In this case, anyone that disagrees with their sorry ass healthcare disaster must be a racist.

Internal polling must be looking really, really grim for her to pull THAT one out of the hat.
