He's not forcing ideology anywhere, he's just saying

We were talking about hiring professors in
Universities. You seem to have switched to scientists.
Are you implying to be a scientists you need to be a
professors at a University?
Now follow the ball here:
You say letting lefties hire only lefties as
professors is OK. George Will is saying you can't hire
professors just because they're leftie and that makes
him a Stalinst.
Oh, and talk about insulting people.

Maybe I'm wrong, is the NIH made up only of professors
and students? If so I was wrong. If it is not then
what does it have to do with this discussion?

What stereotype?
He said, "Physicians apply to this
program because they are interested in solving the
problems of the
health care system; many believe that the free market
is not leading
to quality health care for all Americans."
If not free market then socialized medicine. That's
not an attack.
