OK, so I laughed at this one. Because this is what passes for logic not just among rural hicks, but nearly the entire right wing in this country.

I'm no right-wing apologist, but I've heard plenty of fellow liberals compare Bush to Hitler, or the NSA to the SS.
Stereotyping is done on both sides, and it's important to call bullshit on *anyone* who says this kind of crap.

Quite so, Chris. And I think we now have some evidence that the stronger one's identification with side A of some divisive issue, the stronger the tendency to suspend deliberate use of words or close inspection of side B and just start tarring them with labels that amount to "bad and evil" and do not inform.
