William Saletan quotes

If we're going to start calling out religious and political groups for extremism, we could start at home with Republicans. Too many of them spew animus. Too many foment sectarianism. Too many sit by, or make excuses, as others appeal to tribalism. If Obama were to treat them the way they say he should treat Islam - holding the entire faith accountable for its ugliest followers - they'd squeal nonstop about slander and demagogy. They're lucky that's not his style. (William Saletan)
