This afternoon, on the journey home, I was tuned in to Jay Severin's talk radio show... I heard him bashing on about some un-american Senator who dared compare American soldiers to Nazis.

Normally, I can just turn that stuff off, switch the channel, ignore the crap. But this is different. The full story is more subtle, and more important, than the right-wing hate machine would have you believe; and today I was more disgusted by their apologia than I've been in a long while.

As a counterpoint, go read billmon. And read the senator's full remarks (PDF).
