The GOP's Terror Wingnuts

[Swede]

Liberals pose a more dangerous threat than terrorists to America, say several prominent Republicans. John Avlon on the newest unhinged attack from the fringe right.

In the aftermath of the thwarted Christmas bombing, Republicans have been getting their spikes on for a game that I’d hoped would be retired after the Bush administration: terrorism righteousness as a partisan football.

But conservative congressional candidate Allen Quist from Minnesota somehow screwed up the playbook. At a recent campaign stop, he proclaimed that “every generation has to fight for freedom”—but that “terrorism” wasn’t “the big battle.” No, “the big battle is in D.C., with the radicals. They aren't liberals, they're radicals. Obama, Pelosi… they're not liberals, they're radicals. They are destroying our country.”
