/ Patrick Hauf MSNBC talking heads have compared the Republican Party to the Taliban because of the GOP's opposition to abortion, a comparison that has drawn outrage from veterans and pro-life leaders.

Network columnist Dean Obeidallah argued in a Wednesday article that pro-life Republicans who criticize the Taliban's mistreatment of women are hypocritical. Joy Reid, a primetime host on MSNBC, has for months drawn the comparison and once referred to GOP pro-life efforts as "Talibanism

If only.

The terms GOP and Fighters are mutually exclusive.

I wonder if they’ll keep saying this crap after one of their own, the CNN babe who’s doing some honest reporting, tries to get out (and isn’t successful).

If there’s any lesson to be learned from this disaster is that the leftist Uniparty only respects those that they fear and Americans would be wise to make them remember to fear us as well.

And the sun came up in the east this morning and will set in the west this evening. The equating of the GOP with Taliban fighters is more of the same noise we hear every day.

A more appropriate comparison with today’s GOP would be the Afghan army which disintegrated and ran in the face of the Taliban. The GOP has more in common with capitulation than winning.

Makes sense! Pro-lifers equated with Muslim extremists who kill all who defy them. What idiots.

Really? I wasn’t aware that the Taliban had a strong position on capital gains tax cuts or was intent on surrendering to the Left.

They can try this crap all they want, but this week has been a crisis for Dementia Joe. It’s Friday, and they are just now getting their talking points together for the weekend spin. The obvious false flag “bomb threat” was obvious, and it was more than a bit pathetic. Meanwhile, the Taliban takes advantage of the situation while the GOP ... does what? There went that theory.

That is how stupid you have to be to rely on the lamestream media to get your news and form opinions. Unfortunately, we have a tremendous amount of stupid people in the U.S.; people like my neighbor Henry who are crystallized in the 1970s and younger Americans, victims of the decades of libtard indoctrination passing for public education here.

I don’t think they’re exaggerating.

It’s likely the majority of the Left truly believe the Republicans are worse than the Taliban.

This shows how diabolical the media has become that they try to slander one political party based on their biases! How vile will they become?
