The Farce Is Strong In This One Krugman November 17, 2015 7:51 am And that one, and that one, and, well, across the board. It took no time at all for the right-wing response to the Paris attacks to turn into a vile caricature that has me feeling nostalgic for the restraint and statesmanship of Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney. Marco Rubio says that we have to denounce radical Islam — as opposed to jihadists — because of Hitler; after all, making Islam the rhetorical equivalent of Nazism is just the right thing to win support from the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims. Niall Ferguson says that a terrorist attack on a couple of sites in a huge modern metropolis by a small number of gunmen is just like the sack of Rome by the Goths.
