Violent as the world has been since 1945, trying comparing it to the world pre-1945. The UN's far from perfect, but it's preferable to nuclear armageddon.

Violent as the world has been since 1945, trying comparing it to the world pre-1945. The UN’s far from perfect, but it’s preferable to nuclear armageddon.

On the one hand, it's a clearly hateful thing to say, and simultaneously indicates violent tendencies while sending the wrong impression of America. On the other hand, do people pay too much attention to this kind of thing? It's undeniable that what he said was wrong. What I don't know for sure is whether it was so wrong that it merits an uproar.

But the bottom line is that these guys say things like that <em>all the time.</em> If each of their outrageously hateful statements got news play (which they should, really) your daily newspaper would have to add several pages, and newscast would go from a half hour to 45 minutes.
