Dean of Democratic delegation makes Hitler reference
2012-09-04
She said the purpose is to suppress the vote, especially among Democratic-leaning constituencies such as elderly voters. And she scorned the Republicans' contention that the laws are designed to combat voter fraud.

"It's like Hitler said, if you're going to tell a lie, tell a big lie, and if you tell it often enough and say it in a loud enough voice, some people are going to believe you," Lehman said.
I was always taught in school debate/speech that if you insult someone or compare them to Hitler or Nazis in the debate, you lose. Guess the dhims never got to that part of school.

#7  Burton also had to "return to California immediately for a scheduled root canal". Now I'm not calling them f'n liars (oh wait, I am), but who

a) knows he has a scheduled root canal, but flies to the national convention
b) makes a hate-charged reference that is roundly rebuked
c) semi-apologizes
d) flies home for this long-scheduled procedure
e) Who the f*ck makes a scheduled root canal ahead of time?

He got his ass kicked back to San Francisco. F*ck him

#5  Nah, he got "Goebbels" to name drop...

John Burton, the chairman of the California Democratic Party, has apologized for comparing Republicans to Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels, a comment that quickly sparked outcry from the GOP.

I think it's "Himmler's" turn tomorrow. They just gotta figure which mid level rube does the deed...

#4  The head of the CA state Democratic party already recited this line over the weekend.

Apparently the party has been slow in handing out talking points.

#2  I just got in and I was thinking today about Bill Clinton. Carter has upstaged him. Even Michael is getting more attention. He is not letting the DNC look at his speech which is unheard of. He has got to have a major pantie bind. His speech should be very interesting since he was the first black president. He wants Hillary back as president in the worst way. Besides his economy was better than Carters or Obama.

#1  Nazi in German means "National Socialism". Hitler was the Obama for Germany during "National Socialism".

American Democrats can now be catagorized as the most mentally rotten of the world wide population of the human species.
