Today's post of the day, by Michael Williams, is here. It links to a Loony Lefty's blog entry which equates Bush's policies with the Holocaust. Having equated the two, the LL continues:

I was reading the other day that one of the Nazi torture warehouses was right in the middle of a residential neighborhood - right next to a movie theater, in fact. People must have heard the screams. On some level, weren't they complicit? Did pretending they didn't know repel the moral stain?

She goes on to accuse herself, basically, of complicity and, implicitly, of cowardice. After all, if she and her fellow LLs really believe Bush is part of a right wing coup, why aren’t they out killing and/or dying to set things right? Williams replies-

She's not much different from the pro-lifers (such as myself) who consider most abortions to be murder and yet sit by, mostly passive, while nearly a million babies are killed each year. So are we cowards?
