Bad, Bad Oliver

Oliver Willis is upset that some Reagan zealots want to put the 40th President on the dime (sounds good to me, just wait until he's dead). But Oliver goes over the top when labeling them the "GOP jihad."

I'm posting the comment I left there:

GOP jihad!?! That's really over the top. Wierd Reagan cult, yes. Republicans intent on waging holy war across the country in the name of their hero, absolutely not.

Are the people who want to change the appearance of a coin on par with bloodthirsty killers willing to turn planes into cruise missiles? Of course not. Oliver knows better. No wonder some webloggers think he's "overrated." (I am not one of them.)

Oliver crossed the line. The blogosphere is wonderful because its passionately opinonated, but civility must still be maintained. He should apologize.
