Bobby Eberle, writing for GOP USA, is alarmed by the latest Obama political tactic — characterizing all who would oppose Obamacare as rightwing extremists. Eberle points to a post dated the first of September on the Heritage Foundation website.
Heritage’s Rory Cooper notes a page — since removed in now standard Obama memory hole fashion — on the Obama website that called opponents to Plan Obama “Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists who are subverting the American Democratic Process.” The post on BarackObama.com called for the faithful to stay home on “Patriot Day” (what the government now calls September 11) and make two phone calls, one to each senator, and demand congress critters far and wide get aboard the Obamacare bandwagon and “defeat anti-democratic forces of hate” exercising their right under the First Amendment.
Mr. Eberle is rightly outraged by the brazen tactic and declares “the major blow is the comparison of conservatives opposed to Obama’s health scare plan to members of al Qaeda who flew planes into buildings and killed thousands of Americans.”
It’s too bad Eberle’s response is a rehashed mixture of neocon politics and the same old tired and discredited post-9/11 nonsense about al-Qaeda terrorists in caves. It plays right into the well-worn false right-left paradigm and the state-created al-Qaeda myth that are common stock for Democrats, Republicans, and the corporate media.
The Heritage Foundation is not much better. “September 11 should be a day to grieve and remember, not a day to lobby for government-run healthcare,” Cooper writes. “It certainly should not be a day to demonize fellow Americans. America’s enemies are violent extremists, bent on bring this nation to its knees, not soccer moms, dads and senior citizens who may disagree with one’s political or policy views.”
