Osama Bin Martin not a big stretch

A recent comment by Geoff Norquay referred to PMPM as "Osama Bin laden Martin" . He has since apologized for the "off the cuff" remark.

Thinking about it, it is a stretch, just not a big one though.

The Liberal Party leader and the Taliban leader are both hiding. They both communicate through video tapes. Neither want to be investigated or put on trial. The Liberal Party and the Taliban have a deep hate for the US and democracy in general. They both seem to acquire funding through nefarious sources.

It's my understanding that Norquay's comment was meant to be humorous, that there was no malicious intent. Needless to say, the libs got all pissy, demanded and subsequently received an apology. Fair enough.

I'd like to ask though why it is that the folks on the left are quick to use labels like fascist and make comparisons to Hitler and yet scream bloody murder when the tables are turned?
