Christian radio hosts Matt Barber and Mat Staver took offense to First Lady Michelle Obamas recent visit to a Florida clinic to promote the Affordable Care Act, likening it to Nazi rhetoric, Right Wing Watch reported on Friday.
This is evil, Barber said on the duos show on Friday. Its evil. And Michelle Obama, anybody who could say that, is an evil human being. Those are evil words, thats an evil sentiment, and I cannot believe that Michelle Obama would say that youre doing Gods work by dismembering alive innocent pre-born children. It is Hitlerian.
Barber and Staver were upset by Obama telling staffers at a Tampa, Florida community health center, These places are not easy places to run, but you are doing Gods work while encouraging younger residents to enroll for health insurance coverage under the new law, commonly known as Obamacare.
This is reminiscent of going back to Hitler, Staver complained. Youre doing Gods work? To what? To put people in these plans that actually kill children? That force employers to fund abortion and take innocent human lives? Thats Gods work? This is perverted. This is a perverted administration and a perverted president.
Contrary to the duos allegations, however, one person who attended Obamas appearance, Allan Zullinger, expressed satisfaction with his coverage, which costs $40 a month after government subsidies were factored in.
Im leaving myself out to dry not having insurance, said Zullinger, who signed up for coverage after being hit by a car in December 2013. It doesnt matter how good I eat, how much I work out, how smart I think I am. Im not smarter than a car. If something like that happens, Im in bad shape physically and fiscally.

(9,118 posts)Messrs Barber's and Staver's comments remind me of the hostility shown to public health clinics by the brutal, murderous military dictatorships of Central America of the not -so-distant past. Much the same rhetoric (although the dictators claimed that local health clinic spread communism), and probably much the same mindset.
Not surprisingly, many of these right-wing wolves in shepherds' clothing preached a similar blend of hostility to caring for the poor with their version of Jayy-zuss.
The question to be asked: we're either of these two involved in covering up the deeds of the dictatorships?
