If Taxpayers Don't Pay For Abortions, Then We're The Taliban?

According to the deep thinkers at the Daily Kos. Well, if it's no longer acceptable to call Republicans Nazis, then the left needs to descend even lower. Of course, those of us with long memories recall that this isn't the first time that Republicans have been compared to the Taliban by Democrats. And now that the New York Times has claimed for itself the position as judge, jury and executioner the uncivil, it's worth noting that Bill Keller, the Times' executive editor deployed this smear.
Following up on CBS worrying about Republicans satisfying the "conservative right wing" on abortion: At the Daily Kos, Saturday's Open Thread by Dante Atkins kissed up to Kos founder Markos Moulitsas, hyping his "American Taliban" attack line again, this time about H.R. 3, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. Atkins can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want their tax dollars going to the exercise of the heroic right to abortion, especially after statutory rape:
It's the type of thing that really makes you wonder what's wrong with people. Is it any wonder that women tend to vote for Democrats? The GOP thinks that unless you were hogtied or had a knife brandished at you, you deserve whatever you get. Why not just put women in a burqa, assign them a male relative as an escort, and be done with it? Then the transition to American Taliban can be complete.
