WSJ: Calling Romney A Liar Makes You Just Like Hitler



Not since CNN declared 1968-era France a “a dangerous place to be for a 21-year-old American” have I heard anything as remotely stupid as I did to day, nor had I ever hoped to. Wall Street Journal columnist Daniel Henninger has, however, stolen that crown from Gloria Borger‘s copywriters, and encrusted it with an extra layer of stupid zirconium™ by joining the Paul Ryan “Don’t liar-taze me, bro” campaign to immunize himself from his own lies, and positing that anyone who calls demonstrable liars Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan “liars” is just following in the footsteps of Adolph Hitler.

Godwin’s Law: “If you mention Adolf Hitler or Nazis within a discussion thread, you’ve automatically ended whatever discussion you were taking part in.”
