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...
