The far right in the US has committed some of the most terrible abuses against human rights ever. Most of them left unpunished. The war criminals of the Bush junta are all free as birds. Guantanamo is still operating. CIA, extraordinary renditions, torture, waterboarding, Abu Ghraib, drones attacks, war on "terrorism"...

Yet, for this bipartisan group of congressmen, the worst crime against humans apparently is voting for the left...

Thanks for this thread, Catherina.
