what has the huffington post in a lather this morning



this story, which arianna linked to from TMZ.com, is complaining about Mitt Romney (republican candidate for Prez) holding up this silly sign, which "compares" obama and hillary! to terror mastermind osama bin laden.
"Not everyone is a fan of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, but comparing them to one of the most dastardly pieces of human excrement of all time -- that might be bit much. Especially for a presidential candidate."
puh-leeeeeease...

adding Senators Obama and Clinton to a list of things to "say no" to is only a "comparison" in the broadest sense of the word. this is a list of things that these voters are against. and, it's pretty harmless.

on the other hand, THIS is a "popular" comparison which leaves no such wiggle room:



do i sense a double standard? this is not just a "comparison", it's an EQUATION.


UPDATE: according to the kooks over at the Daily Kos, the sign Romney's holding constitutes "hate speech"...oh, the irony...
