Hillary Clinton must be using the same speechwriter as President Obama. At a sparsely attended campaign rally in Cleveland, the Democratic candidate compared Republicans to "terrorist groups" on women's issues. Obama recently said Republicans and others opposed to the Iran nuclear deal he champions were "making common cause" with Iranian hard-liners who call for "death to America."

Somebody needs to tell a well-known national figure it's time to tone down the name-calling. The hotair.com website reports House Speaker John Boehner, in a private fundraiser in Colorado, called Sen. Ted Cruz, a fellow Republican, a "Jackass." In July Cruz called Sen. Mitch McConnell, the top Republican in the Senate, a "liar." Shouldn't the target of such language be Democrats?
