Moonbats All Over Are Linking Universal Health Care to Terrorism
The reaction to Michael Moore's film Sicko must be scaring the guy at the keyboard of the Mighty Wurlitzer. All of a sudden wingnuts are popping up echoing the talking point that universal health care coverage fosters Islamic terrorism.
Here's Fox News' Neil Cavuto querying Jerry Bowyer, a flesh-and-blood sockpuppet manipulated by the hand of Richard Mellon Scaife:
Josh Marshall is on the case. He has found the talking point being flogged on MSNBC and in the New York Sun as well.
Of course, the link between national health care and terrorism is about as substantial as the case for sending US troops to fight the insurgency in Narnia. But that doesn't stop the Right-Wing Noise Machine. It's only a matter of time before talk radio hosts and Matt Drudge join the noisome chorus.

Their reasoning is, uh, creative. No causality shown between having those darn furrin doctors and universal health care, even, much less between universal health care and terrorism.
Next up, this syllogism:
Some doctors have been arrested for the recent failed terror attacks in Great Britain.
Great Britain has universal health care.
Therefore, anyone in favor of universal health care is a terrorist.
That's about the size of it.
