I have since looked up Anton Chaitkin. Wiki gives this:
Anton “Tony” Chaitkin is an author, historian and political activist with the LaRouche movement. He serves as History Editor for Executive Intelligence Review.
Why did it fall to a LaRouchian to make the charges against Emanuel and his obamacare? MSM is already writing off opponents as loony, so this just seems to fit the Establishment’s agenda too well.
