As long as he understands that Lefitsm has murdered and oppressed hundreds of millions more people than Nazism last century and this century, he is still head and shoulders above his political opponents.

The post belongs in politics not history. Imagine a gigantic (left wing) tax exempt propaganda machine analyzing every single word a (republican) "history buff" says about history. That's what Media Matters mission is. Leave the guy alone unless you want to be fair and balanced and monitor every statement made by a democrat.
