Republican Moral Bankruptcy

Says a reader at Andrew Sullivan's Daily Dish:

"There are things for which there are no comparison, things like the Holocaust, rape, the death of one's child, and yet they are used with frightening regularity. 'This is like the holocaust'. 'He is like a Nazi'. 'This is akin to rape'. No. No. And no. There is no like or akin to these things and using them as political hyperbole shows a breathtaking lack of humanity. Not to mention an inability or disinclination to formulate a reasonable argument."

You can understand, if not accept, the ignorance of the average teabagger who knows nothing and cares even less. But the fact that no elected representative on the right has said "hey, hang on guys, you're going too far," is utterly unforgivable. By any objective measure, if you stay silent because the idiot vote is more important to you than speaking up for common sense and decency, you may as well pack up your big tent and f*** off.
