Worst. Threat. Ever? Posted October 22nd, 2007 at 12:55 pm Share This \| Spotlight \| Permalink In last night’s debate, Mike Huckabee, trying to explain why Hillary Clinton, under no circumstances, should even be considered for the presidency, said her election would mean “our military loses its morale, and I’m not sure we’ll have the courage and the will and the resolve to fight the greatest threat this country’s ever faced in Islamofascism.” David Horowitz and his cohorts, while leaving Hillary out of it, announced the kick-off of “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week” today, arguing that the little endeavor is absolutely necessary because the nation faces “the greatest danger Americans have ever confronted.” Mitt Romney came close to making the same argument in one of his new TV ads, explaining, “It’s this century’s nightmare, Jihadism — violent radical Islamic fundamentalism. Their goal is to unite the world under a single Jihadist caliphate. To do that, they must collapse freedom-loving nations like us.” Oddly enough, it’s fairly unusual in the major media right now to hear anyone responding to these claims by saying, “What are these guys talking about?” The “greatest threat” and the “greatest danger” in the history of the United States? Seriously? Worse than World War II? Worse than the Cold War, when the Soviet Union had enough nuclear missiles pointed at U.S. soil to obliterate the country? It’s bizarre, but I think there are a few angles worth considering here.
