Quote of the Day

Campbell Brown links Mike Huckabee and James Dobson to Diane Ravitch  and Karen Lewis; after all, they all used the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School to “advance their ideology.” She writes in today’s Daily Caller,

The comments by Dobson, Huckabee, Ravitch, and Lewis share something in common: minds so dogmatic, so tendentious, and so drawn to bitter and contentious debates that they cannot help but use dead children as weapons in their culture wars. 

It is a depressing spectacle. And I wish, for the sake of our country and in the name of decency, both sides would cease and desist. Heartless zealotry, whether from the religious right or from the teachers’ union on the left, is always troubling. In the aftermath of a massacre, it’s downright sickening.
