For another example of how “progressives” plan to villify those who fail to fall in with the party line on health care, one need look no further than Paul Krugman’s latest calumny:

Less than two weeks have passed since much of the medical-industrial complex made a big show of working with President Obama on health care reform — and the double-crossing is already well under way.

This is Krugman at his Orwellian best. The fact is that it was the President who double-crossed the “stakeholders” who were dumb enough to participate in his health summit.

But now that the “medical-industrial complex” has figured out that Obama was not acting in good faith, the “progressive” community is attacking the stakeholders.

As Democrat congresswoman Jan Schakowsky famously put it, “this is not a principled fight.” The advocates of government-run health care have no intention of debating honestly.
