DNC compares critics of Nobel to mass murderers

The Hill:

Democrats pounced Friday on a statement from Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele, who said President Barack Obama did not deserve to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

In an e-mail to reporters, DNC press secretary Hari Sevugan suggested that Steele's statement, which said Obama’s “star power” had overshadowed more deserving recipients, was similar to reactions from Hamas and the Taliban.

The e-mail, sent to reporters shortly after Steele's statement, included the RNC response to the Nobel Peace Price, as well as the reactions from the two terrorist groups.

The RNC fired back early Friday afternoon, accusing Democrats of seeking to “demonize” opponents who have questioned the extent of the president's accomplishments.

“Like most Americans, the DNC can’t think of one achievement that the president has accomplished, so they resort to their predictable response and standard playbook of demonizing those who disagree with them,” RNC press secretary Gail Gitcho said in an e-mail.

“First they call Americans concerned over health care ‘rabid extremists’ and ‘angry mobs.' Now, when challenged to answer the question of what the president has accomplished, Democrats are lashing out calling Republicans terrorists. That type of political rhetoric is shameful.”

But, it is typical of Democrats. When reasoned argument fails them, which is often, they responds with insults. Comparing Republicans to mass murderers is pretty typical of theri excesses.
