Politico: Republicans 'Sabotaged' Obamacare Like Segregationists Resisted School Integration
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/01/2013 8:57:42 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

What an odious piece of garbage. Today's Politico, in an article by Todd Purdum, accuses Republicans of "calculated sabotage" of Obamacare, comparing their opposition to the "pattern of 'massive resistance' not seen since the Southern states’ defiance of the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954."

Purdum himself seems to recognize just how loony he comes off, writing "[t]hat may sound like a left-wing conspiracy theory . . . But there is a strong factual basis for such a charge." Sabotage, really? People who understand democracy would call it entirely legitimate opposition to a philosophy and a program that millions of Americans believe undermine what this country should be about.

Politico’s Purdum equates opposition to Obamacare with segregationist opposition to school integration. Ping to Today show list.

So after we warned people what would happen with this LONG BEFORE IT WAS PASSED, when it actually happened, it was because we sabotaged it?

These people are cracking up. They know his thing is a disaster and will cost them dearly at the polls for a long time to come.

Obama lied and the Stalinists fall in line to defend the regime.

When I read articles like this and hear leftists talk like this, I smile.

This tells me of the increasing panic they are feeling and are lashing out trying to find something, anything, that will stick regardless of how ridiculous it sounds

“If we’d just gone with Single Payer, none of this ever woulda happened...”

So much for Democrats being PRO-CHOICE. You don’t get to choose your coverage (men need MANTURNITY care even if they are single).

Nice tag, given of course the proper context.

There is nothing wrong with begging hands and bleeding hearts if they beg from God and bleed for God.

Anything less is courting disaster.

Comparing Republicans of today to Democrats of the 1950’s? What’s the point?

This is personal to myriads of people.

So the abstract didn’t sink in.

Well, let the concrete sink in.

In general the right approach is to call the glass half full rather than half empty... and then by all means look for ways to get more water in the glass.

So....like this whole school integration thing.....Federal edicts about school busing and all that....

I’m old enough to remember all those white Boston Southies up there protesting about forced Federal school busing..

And now we have some sniveling New York dilettante liberal who never had a real job or worthwhile contribution to this world carps about how conservatives are segregationists?

F@ck you Finklestein.

AS I recall, the segregationists were Democrats.

First off those who resisted integration were and still are Democrats. Next integration was not a bad thing; Obamacare is a bad thing.

Yes, A relative of Nixon must have snuck into the offices in Canada and wrote millions of lines of ancient software code incorrectly ON PURPOSE so this administration would look incompetent and fraudulent.

By Gawd that’s how we did it! It was an inside job!

I think we should memorialize 10/1/13. The day Obamacare ruined the nation. It will do far more damage than 9/11/01.

THis is the new meme. “ObamaCare would have been just fine if not ‘Pubbie Sabotage.”

And LIVs will buy it, too.

If we buck up and look to the Lord again, the damage need only be temporary.

God is trying to make this a lesson in “hey folks, this is what happens when you go for something as stupid as the Obama regime.”

And it’s a moderated lesson for now. The GOP has the House. God has everything, however. Even sinners are constrained only to sin as He allows, and He is orchestrating His glory.
