Group Think--Nationalism

In a Rose Garden press conference Bush displays a crystal clear example of nationalistic group think where he claims that making a comparison is between the "compassion and decency of the American people" and the "terrorist tactics of extremists" is "flawed logic" (2:27) and that this particular comparison is "unacceptable to think"(2:32).

Of course, in order to reject the comparison presumably one who have to make it to see that it is not accurate. Just who is guilty of flawed logic here? In any event this seems to be a clear example of shutting down one's critical faculties based on pride in membership in a group.
