GOP Offensively Invokes Nazis...Again

In an offensive insult to Jews, minorities, and America's WWII veterans, Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) just went to the floor of the Senate and equated Democrats who oppose the filibuster powergrab to Adolf Hitler (See the full transcript here).

Frighteningly, Republicans are becoming quite comfortable using this kind of language that insults the millions of families who lost loved ones at the hands of the Nazis. For instance, GOP operative Grover Norquist compared the estate tax to the Holocaust - as if the modest tax on billionaires was as big a crime as murdering 6 million people.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, as there are even more examples of this kind of crass language. These extremists are so out of touch and out of control that they will say anything - no matter how offensive - to get their way, even if it means contradicting themselves in the process.
