Has Hillary Clinton had a nervous breakdown?

She seems detached from reality of late.

NEW YORK POST: Hillary Clinton started her week on a shameful note, terming crazed Ari zona shooter Jared Loughner an American “extremist” of a sort with the 9/11 hijackers.

She went back for a second helping yesterday in a chat with CNN: “When you cross the line from expressing opinions . . . [to] violent action, that is a hallmark of extremism — whether it comes from the right, the left, from al Qaeda, from anarchists, whoever it is.”

What she means: A maniac with a gun is no different from the 9/11 terrorists. A lone nut is the same as a global network inspired by religious nihilism.

It’s scary that America’s diplomat-in-chief could possibly really believe what she said yesterday. But since Clinton argued Loughner was “motivated by his own political views,” it’s worth examining what he was espousing online in recent months.

The equation between Islamic terrorists and a single deranged individual has a singular purpose: to shift the issue as to terrorists from their religious motivation to simple “madness”. That way, we don’t have to deal with them as they are, but only as we would like to think they are. An open invitation to politics as Alice Through the Looking Glass.
