Tancredo hurls insults, invoking Khmer Rouge

From TPM:

"To turn on these children and treat them as criminals is an indication of the level of emotion and, in some cases, bigotry and hatred, that is involved in this debate," Durbin said.

For his part, Tancredo has replied to the Senator in a statement declaring, "Of course, I don’t expect Dick Durbin to be able to tell the difference between legal residents and illegal aliens — after all, this is a man who has already demonstrated that he can’t differentiate between American servicemen and the genocidal foot soldiers of the Khmer Rouge."

1. Am I the only one that can't differentiate Tancredo from a steaming pile?

They both look like genocidal foot soldiers to me.

2. It amazes me that a remark like Tancredo's gets reported as if Tancredo

were a sane and rational person. As Bill Moyers notes: today the extreme has become mainstream.
So where is the outrage, the uprising of Democrats to censure Tancredo and make him apologize on the House floor?
<< crickets >>

3. Durbin apologized for the remarks that Tancredo is referring to...

and astonishingly Tancredo is still criticizing him for it! I'm shocked!

Democrats seem to think that cowering in fear and apologizing every time they say something that offends Sean Hannity will make the criticisms stop.

Just the opposite. When you apologize, Republicans rightly see that as a sign of weakness and lack of conviction, and then they go for the jugular.
