Quack! Quack!

Now if only we can get him to talk in punchy 9-second soundbites, we'll get to see him on Hardball every other night too:
[Rabbi Eric] Yoffie said liberals and conservatives share some concerns, such as the potential damage to children from violent or highly sexual TV shows and other popular media. But he said, overall, conservatives too narrowly define family values, making a "frozen embryo in a fertility clinic" more important than a child, and ignoring poverty and other social ills.
Yoffie makes the now very unPC comparison to Hitler when desribing the zealotry of the Paleo-Christians, or, as he puts it more generically, "the Religious Right." Of course the Dobsons, Robertsons and Falwells will still hyperventilate at being pushed back, no matter how inconsequential the messenger or his barb, but the analogy is well-taken over here.

Hey! Facism is facism. And if it's unrecognizeable to Peter, Paul or Mary because it isn't wearing a swastika armband, then I say it still waddles like a duck with a little black mustache. What's more, it isn't reciprocal. It doesn't work when one of the Pope's alter boys -- say, Jerkyboy Santorum -- uses it while referencing the left, and unapologetically at that. And ya' know why? Because we're Commie symps, ya' dope, ya'!! Compare us to Trotsky ferchri-yeye, then we can say, "Oh! Well!"

Right, tovaritch?

Do svidanja!
