I flipped on some Fox morning news show as I was getting ready for work this morning and almost choked on my coffee when they ran a video of David Letterman identifying anti-Socialist protesters at recent Town Hall meetings as the "American Taliban."

Um.

The video is not available yet—I'll post it as soon as it is—but in a year filled with outrageous characterizations by the Left of Americans who disagree with them, this has got to be the most outrageous example by far.

Let's just do a quick comparison, shall we?

• The Taliban point guns at people who disagree with them. Town Hall protesters point their fingers.
• The Taliban stone women who allow their faces to be seen in public. At least half of the Town Hall protesters are women.
• The Taliban are indirectly responsible for the violent deaths of thousands of American citizens. The Tea Party protesters are fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters to more than their share of those dead.

I would say that Letterman ought to be ashamed of himself, but he has already demonstrated himself to be immune to shame. So I will simply wonder whether the next Town Hall meeting will feature SEIU thugs shouting the word "Taliban!" as they stomp the daylights out of another American Citizen in their unofficial capacity as the Administration's grape-shirted enforcers.

I think I speak for all Navy Jacks when I say: Not on my watch!

8/24/2009 Video Update

There isn't any! I have no idea why... everything ELSE that gap-toothed idiot says is up on YouTube within minutes of him saying it. But not this.

Oh, well... don't take my word for it. Ask Michelle Malkin, or just Google it.
