On Monday, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebeilus wrote a piece claiming that the law was part of the fulfillment of Martin Luther King’s dream for America. Today, her agency has published a claim that 129 million Americans would be unable to get insurance if Republicans had their way.

I would call this a common liberal position, but it seems to be the same across the board.
When you're led by ideology and only ideology, your entire world becomes a battle - everything and everyone's either with you or against you.
People attribute everything they deem good to their "side," and everything they deem bad to the other. It literally becomes good vs. evil.
So, MLK, world peace, righteousness, civility, caring, charity, all that's right on Earth - all hijacked and said to be liberal.
Psycho killers, racists, hate and war-mongers, the greedy - all just the RIGHT.
Nothing new. And it works both ways often enough. The only real difference I see is that there are dozens of (once) esteemed newspapers and about a mix of 90/10 pundits ready to crucify someone when a conservative-leaning person does it.
But that crap doesn't matter.
It's loose drivel at best to try and pretend MLK or any other past figure not saying so directly would want THIS American government in charge of dishing out healthcare to people which, no matter how it's sliced, would barely rival emergency room care due to the pure cost of the beast. At worst, it's shameful sht to hijack someone's legacy to tack your own self-absorbed crap onto.
