I'm not comparing them as politicians or human beings, but comparing the banal and vapid assertion by their supporters that their opponents' actions towards them were driven by fear and not by derision and contempt.
Also, have you ever read Eon by Greg Bear? There's a group of people from the future who come back in time and one of the major political groups amongst them is called the Naderites because they see Nader as a prophet who correctly predicted a lot of the ad things which happened to humanity and following his teachings after various devastations helped save the species.
I see.
You are not saying Nader and Palin are the same thing.
But their supporters are.
Sorry. I misread the exact ignorance you were spewing.
No, I'm not saying that at all and you shouldn't accuse other people of ignorance if you yourself lack the ability to understand basic sentences. I'm saying that a single argument is being shared by their supporters and both groups of supporters are wrong about that one argument for the same reason. I did not reference anything else about either group.
If you want to read additional things into the statement which aren't there, that's between you and Satan, but your difficulties in comprehension are your problem and not somebody else's problem.
