Oh, gawd! III

The past-president of the Left-Leaning Has-Been Chanteuses' guild, Linda Ronstadt, has been at it again. This one is particularly good:

Don't get her started on the recent presidential election. "People don't realize that by voting Republican, they voted against themselves," she says. Of Iraq in particular, she adds, "I worry that some people are entertained by the idea of this war. They don't know anything about the Iraqis, but they're angry and frustrated in their own lives. It's like Germany, before Hitler took over. The economy was bad and people felt kicked around. They looked for a scapegoat. Now we've got a new bunch of Hitlers."

Moral equivalence in full bloom, all right. "Like Germany before Hitler took over." Whew! This one goes to 11!
