Say anything

Charles Rangel thinks that calling terrorists "Islamic Fascists" was unfair to Muslims. Do you think Democrats would be finding fault with that term if, say, Ned Lamont had used it? Or do they feel that Bush is stealing their favorite epithet for him?

Why am I getting the feeling that the Dems are trying to minimize the terrorism threat? If you're more worried about the politics of detecting and thwarting plots to kill thousands more noncombatants than you are about the plots themselves, you need to step back and ask yourself if you haven't gone somewhat overboard.
