Here is video of Michelle Malkin talking on Fox and Friends this morning about the "thug tactics" the White House is using to push "DemCare" through the Congress. Malkin was commenting on reports that the White House has contacted Democrat Rep. Bart Stupak and told him to be quiet about problems he may have with abortion language in the Senate Health Care Bill. Malkin said Obama and the Democrats are ready to use "brass knuckle" tactics to force Democrats into line to support the eventual conference report that will reconcile the House and Senate Bills.

Stupak forced Democrats to put an amendment in the House Bill that prohibits Federal Funds to cover abortions. The Senate bill does not have that provision in it. . . . (VIDEO)

I highly doubt any thug tactics need to be used at all. The Democrats have wanted to socialize health care since before World War 2.

I am not surprised. All governments work by fear and intimidation. They do not wield the sword for nothing. Politics is based upon butt. You either kick it, or you kiss it. There is nothing noble about politics or politicians. It is and always will be dirty and mean. It has to be by its very nature. The government fails to function properly whenever those elected believe that they can be nice and cooperating with their opponents. Government works best when people see the other side as their enemy and do everything in their power to destroy them. I know how horrible this sounds, but it is the nature of politics.
