Two Views of Evil: Bush, Reid

Along the lines of Tuesday's post regarding Flag@WhiteHouse.gov comes these two views of evil.
"Tomorrow, when you get back to work, work hard like you always have. But we've been warned. We've been warned there are evil people in this world. We've been warned so vividly. And we'll be alert. Your government is alert. The governors and mayors are alert that evil folks still lurk out there. As I said yesterday, people have declared war on America and they have made a terrible mistake. My administration has a job to do and we're going to do it. We will rid the world of the evil-doers." - President George W. Bush, September 16, 2001

People who are disrupting town halls with "lies, innuendo and rumor," and not letting others speak are "evil-mongers" said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada)
For Bush, evil is flying airplanes into the World Trade Center. For Reid, evil is opposing Obama and the Democrats.
