    There's a Man With a Gun Over There

    One would think that after the last town hall sessions where his anti-war constituents tore into him in a big way, Representative Baird would be tiptoeing around trying to stay out of the war zone. But no. Now he has compared the health care reform opponents to Nazis:

    “What we’re seeing right now is close to Brown Shirt tactics,” [...]
