I didn’t think it was possible but, when talking about the Democratic left, I should know by now that nothing is beyond their fertile, feverish, and febrile imagination.

In the past few days, I’ve chronicled the left defending the indefensible as they sought to downplay Senator Durbin’s words. “He never said it!” was their response to my home state Senator’s remarks on the Senate floor comparing American soldiers with the most murderous thugs in history.

Once it became apparent that they couldn’t hide from the fact that the Senator actually made these slanderous comments, their refrain became “You’re misunderstanding what he’s saying!” Well, of course we were. How were we to know that when Senator Sniveler made his comments that we should have asked him what he really meant. The only problem there is that Senator Blabbermouth’s own statement on the matter didn’t apologize for anything or to anybody; unless you call apologizing for his remarks being “misused” by terrorist news organs like al Jazeera making amends.

Now we have a new refrain from Kos and his diseased minions who inhabit the fever swamps and nuthouses (small “n” please) in the land of Shang-Ri-La where fake but accurate minutes from a meeting at 10 Downing Street have become grounds for impeachment. This new tune the Kossaks are singing recognizes that Durbin did indeed use his backstabbing historical analogy. But their excuse is priceless.

Durbin was right because we’re “not different enough” from Nazis.

That’s right. By using the double-secret, super-duper, all American, all original moonbat yardstick for behavior on the part of our troops, the left has now been able to pronounce judgement on the actions of American interrogators at Guantanamo. “Enough” difference just doesn’t exist between the guy who gassed 6 million Jews and us.

Perhaps they could enlighten the rest of us as to how much more difference there would need to be before there would be “enough.” But that would spoil their fun now, wouldn’t it? After all, the only way you can defend Senator “Turban” Durbin’s remarks is not by raising the bar, not by lowering the bar, but by making the bar magically disappear and telling people “Oh, it’s still there, it’s just that I’m the only one who knows where it is.”

This new defense is couched in a condemnation of the Jihadist nutballs who tortured the 4 Iraqi soldiers I wrote about here:

Inhuman. Destestable.

And no justification whatsoever for use of torture by the United States. Period.

We are better than that. We must be better than that.

The question should not be ‘are we like these despicable torturers?’ The question must be why are we not different enough from these inhuman monsters?

This is just too good.

Notice how they free themselves up to make any historical comparison they want to now because whatever analogy they come up with only they know how much “enough” difference constitutes the accuracy of the similarity.

It’s effin’ brilliant!

As something of a polemicist, I’ve really got to hand it to the lefties on this one. This kind of tactic is sure to be picked up and run with by all the moonbats over the next few days. There literally can be no response made to this argument. After all, how can you respond logically to something so moronic? How can you counter an argument whose basis lies in the netherworld of the interlocutor’s imagination?

The only thing to do is laugh at them. With their “Downing Street Minutes” Tea Party being made into a national joke and now this idiotic way to defend their outrageous rhetorical flights of fancy regarding Hitler, Stalin, and any other murderous thug in history, the left is rapidly deteriorating into the punchline of a very bad joke.
