the point of not bothering to make good analogies? OK, see maybe I should explain where I'm coming from. If I see an analogy I disagree with, as you apparently did, in trying to come up with a better one, I usually try to make a good analogy rather then aiming for the lowest common denominator.
The counter I made was a better analogy though. Which makes your entire position kinda difficult, doesn't it?

Of course in this case both analogies were stupid, but yours was worse.
If by "worse" you mean "better", then yes. You can't honestly be telling me that a guy working for Saddam implementing his policies for him is a poor analogy to a guy working for Ayers and implementing his policies for him. They are precisely analogous. It's not just a good analogy, it's a nearly perfect one. The only thing which would make it more perfect is if it wasn't just Saddam, but him and a coalition of other nutty ME leaders all contributing funds to the "rape room project".
But other than that, it's darn close...
