So he has used a really unfortunate analogy to no good end here, and a comparison to slavery... I am not one for censoring offensive speech by any stretch but without saying he can't say that, I find his comments to be in poor taste.

You're wilfully trying to change the argument here and and make the situation suit your view. He didn't make a false dilemma nor compare the two problems.
He compared the "economy" defense (not his false dilemma, he did not make it), and did not suggest the problems are equivocal. At all. You see what you want to I guess, but flat out making things up now. Who made the false dilemma here?
