It Compares To The Most Horrible Of Things

In a May 28 Washington Times column, Jeffrey Kuhner wrote of the job offer to Joe Sestack: "[t]he White House is facing a major scandal -- one that threatens to bring down President Obama. It could be his watergate"

We find it notable that Republicans continually attempt to tar Obama and the Democrats by comparing everything to various past Republican horrors. They have compared the Sestack job offer to Cheney's treason and now they want to make it into Nixon's Watergate. They compare their oil spill to Bush's Katrina and Reagan's October surprise. They bring up the history of their racist base to accuse Democrats of being racist. And since none of this logically implicates Democrats, these comparisons only serve to highlight the enduring historical significance of their own dangerous nature.
