Have you no decency at all?

Betsy Newmark has an entry pointing to the latest bit of shameful political behavior out there.

Look, it is never appropriate to compare a political opponent (in this country at least) to a Nazi. The politician's excuse that she only thought of the bumbling Colonel Klink rather than the fact that she was showing a 25 year US Marine veteran in a Nazi uniform is disingenuous.

This demonization of opponents HAS to stop. The Democrats are making a very serious error in embracing this hard-left tactic, and it will backfire on them. It is no longer possible to hide this stuff, it will come back to haunt them. Christ, what's next? Calling opponents "running dog imperialist lackeys"? (Oh, never mind, the Kos Kidz are already using that, aren't they?)

The Kos philosophy of being all about winning and not about ideology, is not going to play well with the majority in this country. It would be a good idea to remember that Americans by and large believe in fairness and good sportsmanship.
