German newspaper calls American conservatives “the Taliban of the West”

Der Spiegel shares the same crackpot opinion of conservatives as its American counterparts.

We want to believe that Obama failed because of the conservatives inside his own country. Indeed, the fanatics that Mitt Romney depends on have jettisoned everything that distinguishes the West: science and logic, reason and moderation, even simple decency. They hate homosexuals, the weak and the state. They oppress women and persecute immigrants. Their moralizing about abortion doesn’t even spare the victims of rape. They are the Taliban of the West.

On the radio show in recent weeks we’ve been talking about how much things have changed in America over the course of the past 60+ years.

I think it’s fairly safe to say that Germany has experienced an even more radical transformation.
