'Its own small-scale mimicry of Kristallnacht'
Criticizing (and exaggerating the extent of) angry reactions to the health-care bill’s passage, Frank Rich himself goes overboard. … A small-scale mimicry of Kristallnacht? C’mon. Some critics have crossed the line, no doubt about it. It’s ugly. They’ll only hurt their own cause as a result. But there are no riots in the streets. The National Guard hasn’t been called out. The Republic isn’t on the brink of violent chaos. No post-Kristallnacht concentration camps are secretly being built. OK?
