The Powerline Blog has a stunning question from Tom Brokaw to President Obama on it's site. That anyone, especially someone who should be more sophisticated, could ask a question that naive is jaw dropping.

Much has been made of President Obama's "on the other hand" transition, in his speech yesterday, from the Holocaust to the travails of the Palestinians. Some thought that he implied a kind of equivalence. But the appalling Tom Brokaw reminded us that it could have been worse when he asked Obama about his visit to Buchenwald on the Today Show this morning:
BROKAW: What can the Israelis learn from your visit to Buchenwald? And what should they be thinking about their treatment of Palestinians?
Unbelievable. Obama, to his credit, squelched the analogy:
OBAMA: Well, look, there's no equivalency here.
