The report is what it is, and the responses seem out of kilter.

However, the very vocal and newly empowered left has been applying the below logic successfully for a number of years:

Republicans = “Bushies”, “Bushites”, etc.
Bush = Hitler
Hitler = Nazi
QED, Republicans = Nazis.

It is this raw nerve on the right, IMO, that is being struck.

I think you make excellent points about the raw nerve that’s being struck. All the more reason, it would seem to me, to remain calm and rational.


And it is theexact tack, IMO, that will be taken with this report as it is abused by the left; they have plenty of irrational nirther-types of their own that will continue to find Nazis (i.e., Republicans) under every bed.

I haven’t seen any indication (yet, anyhow) that the report has been “abused” by the left. It may happen, but it seems to me, right now anyhow, that it is the right-wing hysteria about this report that’s doing us in, so to speak.
