Remember, It's Crucial To Confront Those Crazy People

James Fallows has an emailer who wants to know, based on 1-3 yahoos booing a gay soldier serving Iraq, when the GOP will start to "take a stand against their own crazies?"

I'll check, but only after Fallows and his erstwhile correspondent ask Barack Obama when he plans to condemn the folks in his party who call the Tea Party racists... or condemn his former Illinois Senate colleague Dick Durbin for comparing American soldiers to Nazis... or himself, for saying our troops were indiscriminately killing civilians in Afghanistan.

I guess they're not crazy.  Because as long as you believe in evolution, it's perfectly fine to refer to your political opponents as terrorists simply because they won't let you spend more money.
