Quote of the day - David Frum

Conservative David Frum is not happy with all the references comparing Obama to Hitler, Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, etc. He writes:

It’s not enough for conservatives to repudiate violence, as some are belatedly beginning to do. We have to tone down the militant and accusatory rhetoric. If Barack Obama really were a fascist, really were a Nazi, really did plan death panels to kill the old and infirm, really did contemplate overthrowing the American constitutional republic—if he were those things, somebody should shoot him.

But he is not. He is an ambitious, liberal president who is spending too much money and emitting too much debt. His health-care ideas are too over-reaching and his climate plans are too interventionist. The president can be met and bested on the field of reason—but only by people who are themselves reasonable.

I don't agree with his assessment of Obama but I do agree that the last couple of days have been scary. People taking guns to health care forums?

Fire up the dense right-wingers and it won't be long before another Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma bombing) pops up.

And just like 1993, the Rush Limbaugh's of the world will say they had nothing to do with it.
