should Bashir have apologized to Palin

[LuvNewcastle]

14. Absolutely not.

He gave a graphic illustration of why it's sickening for people to compare any old thing to slavery, which Palin and her ilk do on a regular basis. It trivializes one of the worst episodes in our history. Not to mention the brutality and evil of enslaving an entire race of people, the institution of slavery has cast a shadow on American society that has never gone away, and countless people have died, been maimed, imprisoned, and otherwise denied justice as a result of it.

It is nearly impossible to stress too much how people such as Palin should disgust all of us when they make comparisons between slavery and the national debt, or pretty much anything else. If she and her followers are so upset about Bashir's comments, why aren't they concerned when all of the metaphorical shit comes dribbling out of her mouth every time she utters a word?
