flaw in ramiz dayi analogy

Reader comment on item: Erdoğan to Me: Stay Out of Turkey
in response to reader comment: coup

@ramiz dayi For your analogy to work, ISIS would have to be a domestic US political movement or bloc, formerly allied with the ruling party, that later turned terrorist and mounted a coup. Even the nutters who say that ISIS was created by the CIA would never define it as a former US domestic political entity once allied with either a Democrat or Republican President! Do you see the problem with your analogy?

(Well, that isn't the only problem with it...)
