The Left has succeeded in minimizing the true nature of evil present in sordid acts like rape, torture and genocide. It has defined deviancy down. To the point where we are blase to the horrific consequences of the acts themselves and so are unprepared to respond when real evil does occur. This in keeping with the Left's morally equivalent view of the world. There is no good and evil in it, anymore than there are guys wearing white hats who need to stop guys in black hats doing wicked things.

A truer editorial has not been written.

I personally turn off when I hear the term racism thrown out. I solidified that position when I saw a woman make the blaim that the movie King Kong was racist against blacks.

So, if people think you're a fascist and that you're an apologist for oppression and violation of human rights, that compromises everybody's ability to go after others who may more accurately called fascists and violaters of human rights?

On what basis do you make these assertions?

It seems to me that what you're really saying is that you aren't what they call you, and that makes you mistrust their intentions and their judgments.

"It undermined the war against torture to characterize what some Americans did to some Iraqis in the Abu Ghraib prison -- actions that were indeed sick, un-American and shameful to our military -- as "torture." Labeling abuses as "torture" filled me with pity for all the people around the world who had experienced real torture"

Maybe so, but it has apparently handcuffed the administration from critisizing the horrific treatment and subsequent desacration of our two captured soldiers...I would have appreciated some moral outrage expressed at this barbarism, but instead their silence broke my heart.
