Jonathan Gruber: 'Anything I Say Will Just Feed the Haters'
breitbart ^ | Dec. 7, 2014 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Internal emails between Vermont bureaucrats and controversial MIT economics professor Jonathan Gruber reveal that Gruber's public silence is a strategic decision to avoid engaging with what he calls the "haters" who have criticized him.

Gruber, the "architect" of Obamacare, has been silent since YouTube videos showing his disdain for "stupid" American voters went viral last month. Approached repeatedly by Breitbart.com, he's responded "no comment" each time.

The newly-released emails also reveal Gruber is a man on a mission. He believes he is leading the country to a historic destiny: single-payer health care.

"I am laying low on this," Gruber emailed Vermont bureaucrat Michael Costa on November 12. "Anything I say will just feed the haters. I went on MSNBC yesterday and apologized but other than that I have been strongly advised to stay off the radar," Gruber added.

Single-payer health care is his version of lebensraum.

Isn’t that typical of the Damnocrats. Hillary has been compelled to practice just that tactic so many times during her career as a political confidence person.

To a dim, you are a “hater” if you demand the truth.


Uh, huh. If you aren’t happy with what he said, you are a “hater”. He, of course, did not wrong.

If this strategy works then, 2 years from now, he’ll be back on the road crowing about how he fooled all the “stupid American voters” again.

Hey Gruber, remember, we know where you work.

And...we can find out where you live, eat, drink, and frequent.

So...maybe you should “lay low” You aren’t as smart as you think you are pal.

Friggin traitor!

No one can maintain a security perimeter forever, Mr. Grubbed. No one.

His secretary says SHE wrote it....He just outlined it.

In fact...She came to a meeting a few months ago...and told me he only would pay for her to be there one day....to answer questions after a speech he was giving.....so he doesnt have to...! lol

Yep....the big turds ...they float....and often sit there on top.

He forgot to say stupid haters. Let us have our full leftist identification Gruber. It helps us win elections. What did we do to get the full blessings of Gruber and Sharpton?
