By: E&P Staff Is the normally midl-mannered syndicated columnist Cal Thomas venturing into Ann Coulter territory? In his latest column today, he declared that the recent primary defeat of Sen. Joe Lieberman in Connecticut "completes the capture of the Democratic Party by its Taliban wing."
The Taliban Democrats, he added, "are willing to 'kill' one of their own, if he does not conform to the narrow and rigid agenda of the party's kook fringe....
"It will be difficult for any Democrat to seek consensus with any Republican without being targeted as an infidel worthy of electoral death. Our already-poisoned political dialogue has not only been made more toxic, but contagious. Taliban Democrats have effectively issued a political 'fatwa' that warns all Democrats not to deviate from their narrow line, or else face the end of their careers through a political jihad. Perhaps the few remaining rational Democrats should put on their burkas now and submit to the will of the party mullahs."
