How is the title misleading? I'm still not sure how it is false outrage. The remarks were absolutely stupid, yes. They were also, in my opinion, pretty outrageous. And they are noteworthy because, alas, they fall into a pretty recognizable pattern.
As for the Taliban comparisons, they are pretty apt in some ways, not in others. The Tea Party, thankfully, is not violent in the way that the Taliban has been. They have certainly employed some very violent rhetoric, but actual violence has been minimal. They have been engaged in the political process thus far and the rumblings about extra-political attempts at pushing forward their agenda have been just that, rumblings. So I would say that the comparison has a huge gulf largely because of that and anyone seeking to compare the two needs to be very careful about broad sweeping generalizations.
