One more about Newt

A few more words about Gingrich's statement I wrote about in my previous post. Was he equating Muslims with Nazis? No, he wasn't. His was making an analogy, but the analogy was not between Muslims and Nazis. He said that a mosque is to the World Trade Center site what a swastika would be to the Holocaust museum. From this, it doesn't follow that a mosque is like a swastika. Of course it's possible that deep down he does believe the latter to be true. But it's not what he said or implied, so he cannot be held responsible for having this belief.

In short, everyone is wrong. Gingrich and those who agree with him are wrong about the law. Those who criticize him for saying Muslims are like Nazis are wrong about logic.
