The flap over the comparison of Nazis with American troops at Guantanamo was described by the title of this blog.
Aside from the Nazi angle, real smear campaigns are based on lies. When Democrats said Robert Bork was going to bring back segregation, that was a smear campaign. When Democrats denied President Bush was in the Air National Guard, that was a smear campaign.
What Durbin said, Durbin believes. The Nazi comparison was implicitly made by Democrat Michael Moore when he said America "is known for bringing sadness and misery to places around the globe." Moore enunciated a theme going back as far as when Durbin's generation spat on veterans and called them baby killers.
Durbin's remark isn't really new. Democrats have felt this way for years.
