Like the Nazis Marching Through Skokie

By wt

The Obama campaign has put out a mailer criticizing Hillary's health-care plan on mandates.

Using an image that some say recalls the industry-sponsored attacks on Hillary's health-care plan in 1993, the ad says that Hillary is forcing people to have health care that they may not be able to afford.

Ok, maybe that's an unfair attack. Maybe it hearkens back to the GOP attack on Hillary in the early 90's.

But one Hillary backer, Len Nichols of the New America Foundation, said that the mailer was "as outrageous as having Nazis march through Skokie, Illinois."

Wow. That must be a really bad mailer.

Fortunately for the Hillary campaign, they've backed off the comment. Still, it seems like a pretty bad idea to associate your campaign with someone so volatile and offensive.
