A couple of weeks ago, Clinton lickspittle Paul Krugman denounced Barack Obama for sending out what he termed an “ugly mailer.” Krugman was unable to find any factual inaccuracies in the mailer, so he used its resemblance to the famous Harry & Louise TV commercial as a pretext for another of his attacks on Obama.
Now, Hillary Clinton has sent out a similar—-though far more misleading—-mailer in Wisconsin. And prominently featured in the ad are the partisan fulminations of—-you guessed it—-Paul Krugman. The Hillary mailer has inspired considerable indignation on the part of Wisconsin governor Jim Doyle and Edward Kennedy:
Kennedy said he was shocked and surprised that Clinton would put out a mailer like this, ad called it a ‘distortion, misrepresentation, and wrong.’
And, for once, Kennedy has it right. The Clinton mailer essentially accuses Obama of deliberately excluding 15 million people from the health care system. This nonsense is based on Obama’s refusal to include an authoritarian insurance mandate in his health care plan.
It is typical of Hillary’s Orwellian mindset that her mailer repeatedly uses the word “choice” to describe her plan despite a provision forcing all of us to buy insurance whether we want it or not. Her notion of “choice” is reminiscent of Henry Ford’s views on color selection:
Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black.
And it is typical of Krugman’s hypocrisy that he is a willing accomplice in the very sort of propaganda that he falsely accused Obama of promulgating. Krugman is, after all, the Enron advisor who demagogued the Enron scandal, the Reagan official who routinely trashes Reagan.
