If you look closely you will see that I didn't make the comparison, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette did.
This was an exerpt from an editorial which almost certainly was written by the redoubtable Paul Greenberg, whose credentials as a Southerner and as a rock-ribbed conservative simply cannot be gainsaid.
I would bet money that this is also a Pro-Clinton newspaper.
I don't put much stock in any newspaper with the word 'Democrat' in it's name.
