There was one more thought I had about Sweet's column [below].  Here are two quotes about the firestorm that ensued after Dick Durbin analogized our military with Nazis

"If it is Dick Durbin in trouble, then something is wrong. They are so good at changing the subject," said Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.).

"Everyone who knows Dick Durbin knows how much he cares about the troops and their families," Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) told me Friday.

Said Obama, "This administration has made a habit of diverting attention of its failures by criticizing the messenger."

For nigh on 50 years Democrats could, and did, say any damn thing they wanted without fear of rebuttal, correction, or castigation from the MSM.  As a result they have become little chillens whose momma kept them in the house under a plastic bubble.  Once they go outside, they have no natural immunity to even the most casual germ, and immediately break into night sweats.  Donkycrats simply do not have any experience in real political debating, and this is the result.
