The Nation Compares Health Care Opponents to Racists « NewsReal Blog: "From last week’s issue of The Nation, the flagship publication of the Left:

The White House call for progressives to ignore these Democratic obstructionists is not much different from Lyndon Johnson telling Martin Luther King Jr. to halt civil rights demonstrations in a South ruled by segregationist Democrats. Change never comes from following such advice.

This comparison isn’t an accident. “Progressives” continually try and cast the push for socialized medicine as the new Civil Rights cause, as though the inability to get taxpayers to pay for one’s medical care was in any way comparable to Jim Crow and segregation.

Just look at that above image of health care socialization advocates. One of them even has a sign that says “Health Care is a Human Right.” It’s a sentiment to which I — and pretty much all conservatives — would nod in agreement. Medical Services are indeed a right. Go in to an emergency room and they legally cannot refuse to give you service which will save your life. And that’s the way it should be."
