I swear, this show makes me weep for the future. What is with the hosts of this show?

In yet another episode of "Conservative (Non-)Thinker gone terribly, terribly wrong," co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck equates Rev. Jeremiah Wright with Jeffery Dahmer eating peanut butter sandwiches when it's pointed out to her that she is making judgments against him based on cherry-picked snippets of the most inflammatory rhetoric over a decades-long ministry and a history of good work.

"Would you say, ... I'm sure at some point Jeffrey Dahmer ate peanut butter sandwiches doesn't make the fact that he ate people any less wrong."

Congratulations, Elizabeth. You've succeeded in making your colleague Sherri Shepherd actually seem smarter than you.
