Fascist thugs: According to insurance executives, the White House is threatening them with “retribution” if they don’t keep silent about the problems Obamacare is causing them.
“What is going on is a behind-the-scenes attempt by the White House to at least keep insurers from publicly criticizing what is happening on this Affordable Care Act rollout,” reports Andrew Griffin of CNN. ”Basically, if you speak out, if you are quoted, you’re going to get a call from the White House, pressure to be quiet.”
According to Griffin’s sources, Bob Laszewski of Health Policy and Strategy Associates – a prominent consultant for insurance companies with a history of criticizing ObamaCare – says he’s getting calls from the executives he works with, asking him to speak out on their behalf, “because they feel defenseless against the White House PR team.”
Laszewski told Griffin, “The White House is exerting massive pressure on the industry, including the trade associations, to keep quiet.” Industry sources confirmed “they fear White House retribution.”

Not surprising from the same administration that told bankers that the only thing standing between them and mobs with torches and pitchforks was Obama. Not too long after that OWS was rioting all over the country for socialist revolution and targeting these same bankers.
Fascist will be fascists.
And to think that I’ve had moronic leftists try to tell me that fascism is rooted in right wing (converstive) ideaology. However, I guess you can’t expect better from people who get their news from Jon Stewart.
Kristallnacht, anyone? OWS in Oakland and San Francisco California, for two, were smashing windows.
Just remember that the NAZIs were the National *Socialist* German Workers Party. Only people to the left of the fascists, such as socialists and communists, think of them as right wing. The rest of us know better.
