Unhinged Reaction

This is from an article at Daily Kos by Silly Rabbit entitled "Get the flock out!" (the article itself is packed with links, and it includes a cool graphic saying "Don't forget to hate the refugees when you're setting up your Nativity scene"):

In the week since the (RADICAL ISLAMIC) terrorist attacks in Paris, a disturbingly large number of Republican governors and lawmakers (and way too many Democrats) have been running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

"The refugees are coming! The refugees are coming!" they shout from the rooftops.

Faced with an enemy who hates us for our freedom, some of these thought leaders have suggested taking actions that were "frankly unthinkable" in the aftermath of 9/11, when America itself came under attack—but that's not to say that they're entirely without precedent.

In fact, one proposal—rounding up everyone of a certain religious/ethnic persuasion and locking them away in internment camps—was even the subject of a very famous Supreme Court case.

Other ideas being floated harken back to earlier times, places, and events—such as pre-war (Nazi) Germany and the Spanish Inquisition.

Also, too ... (the) Benghazi!

Now, you might not like any of this, but it's "smart politics" ... or something.
