Are We Men or Mice?

According to Julie Rovner on NPR the other day anyone who uses scare tactics to change the minds of the public about healthcare reform is using tactics common to rodents. The scare tactics are used, according to our 'public' broadcast system, only by those who disagree with a government run health care plan. Put aside the fact that the President tries to frighten the public with every speech, but NPR has taken the diatribe ten steps further when they interview some obscure professor who studies ultrasound emitted from rodents. According to the 'professor' rats have a way of sending out ultrasonic waves that warn other rats that there is danger ahead.

So our state-owned media is likening dissidents to rodents. Is that bad cheese I smell?
