Am I saying that the ACLU and the [Los Angeles] Board of Supervisors are as bad as the Taliban? Of course not. Frankly, in this case, I think they might be worse.

That's from a video by these right-wing Michael Moore wannabes. They're comparing the removal of a cross from the L.A. County seal to the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas by the Taliban.

Frankly, I think it's kind of silly to challenge a cross on the seal of a state in which the name of every third city begins with "San," but this is like the Taliban? Aren't the Bamiyan Buddhas -- unlike crucifixes -- kinda irreplaceable?

Oh, and Dennis Prager shows up midway through the proceedings to describe the removal of the cross as "Soviet-like."
