Mary Matalin lobbed some rhetorical bombs on CNN yesterday when she repeatedly compared health care reform supporters to “jihadists.”
In reference to the Democrats’ efforts to expand health care coverage for millions of Americans, Matalin said “they’ve been on this jihad for 70 years.” She surmised that while “two-thirds of the country don’t want [reform]…one-third of these jihadists, these health care jihadists, do.”
Matalin said that blue dog Democrats would be the first casualties of this “health care jihad,” and that the rest of the country would suffer under the “tyranny of the minority” who support reform.
“I guess that’s how democracy in the Obama era works,” she added.
