The Tea Party/Freedom Caucus/Religious crazies. But the moderate wing, people who like Mitt Romney and the others of his kind that the far right accuses of not really being republicans, aren't calling anyone Nazi's. We don't think Obama was Kenyan, Muslim, or any of those things.Glad you don't think Obama was a kenyan, but that would hardly be the most disturbing issue of the romney wing, now would it?
Quote:We used to have counterparts. But the people I expect to be reasonable democrats has shifted way left into the crazy rhetoric area. The people who I'd think would have a civil conversation while the wings call eachother Nazi's are now in the calling people Nazi's business.I'm rolling in dimes, business is good.
Quote:Too reiterate my original point. I don't think the rhetoric has changed. I think that a lot of people who I'd expect to be too smart to buy into the rhetoric are now engaging in it when they weren't previously.
You've had plenty of posts to explain why you think the comparison doesn't fit, but you've been content to call those who make it crazy or dumb. Well, even if everyone who made such a comparison -was- crazy, and/or dumb...that still wouldn't make the comparison any more or less accurate, huh?
