A curious sense of balance

Democrats in Washington are outraged that Republicans have put out a compilation of Senator Reid's comments and policy positions. Apparently, quoting a Democrat is as immoral and unethical as politics gets.

On the other hand, saying that the president is a fascist, a Nazi, worse than Hitler, or that he is using storm troopers to turn America into a gulag is perfectly reasonable political rhetoric. It is also just fine to say that the president's motivation for sending American troops to Iraq to die was to help his friends make money.
