Former Bush Treasury Secretary: GOP House Members Are Like Al Qaeda

I think we're about to set a new low for political discourse (from Daily Caller)

Ex-Bushie compares GOP to al Qaeda -- "The people who are threatening not to pass the debt ceiling are our version of al Qaeda terrorists. Really," said former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill in an interview with Bloomberg TV. "They're really putting our whole society at risk by threatening to round up 50 percent of the members of the Congress, who are loony, who would put our credit at risk," said O'Neill, who served as secretary during Bush's first term. He added that the "whole conversation" about whether to take on even more potentially crippling debt "is irresponsible." 

Remember Godwin's law?

"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."

Since Nazi comparisons have grown old and tired, and generally you can tell when someone loses an argument because he's the first one to call someone a Nazi, we now have a new standard that requires your political enemies to be referred to as terrorists.
