After the passage of healthcare reform, many people who voted for the new healthcare bill are currently under attack by those who oppose the way they chose to vote on the healthcare issue. Former Alaskan Governor and Presidential candidate Sarah Palin decided to post personal information of many pro-Obamacare senators on her personal website, www.palinforamerica.com. One of the big questions being asked in the fallout of the passage of this landmark bill is whether former Governor Palin was correct in her posting of such information. While many conservatives laud Palin's choice as a path of personal accountability, concerned progressives worry about the safety of politicians who supported the new healthcare bill (a legitimate concern, given recent partisan political activity).
Socialist advocates at the World Socialist Web Site (www.wsws.org) are criticizing the new healthcare bill as being too far-right, and top-down, showing that anger over the new system emanates from both sides of the political spectrum.
As law-abiding Americans, we can all hope that both sides will respect each other's past opinions and votes. Personal threats and terrorist activity (proposed, threatened, or real) is something that all decent citizens can, and should ardently oppose.
