Meghan McCain: Scarier Times? [View all]

Comparing now to 2008, Meghan McCain said on MSNBC: "This time around, we're living in scarier times ... ."

I'm sure there are lots of posts about how Republicans use fear, but I find this statement to be completely absurd. I remember four years ago: banks failed, markets collapsed, global trade nearly came to a stand-still, suicides were up, universities began shuttering their doors, hundreds of thousands lost their jobs each month, ... . Is any of that happening now? How could her statement have gone unchallenged?

Idiot!
