Insane Moral Equivalence   [John Podhoretz]

On "Face the Nation" this morning, Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner dubbed people who hire illegal aliens "21st century slave masters" who are "just as immoral as the 19th century slave masters we had to fight a civil war to get rid of." That's just disgusting, no matter where you stand on this question, and the fact that an ordinarily sensible legislator like Sensenbrenner has been driven to a point where he could say something so patently repulsive demonstrates how unfortunately radicalized this moment has become. (Hat tip: Mark Kilmer at Red State.)
