Novak Likens Filibuster Deal to a Nazi Death Camp

Eric Jaffa, the Carpetbagger Report and Media Matters point out that Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) and Grover Norquist are not the only GOP hacks who have offensively invoked images of the Holocaust and the Nazis in discussing the filibuster. CNN actually continues to employ a top pundit who went on their airwaves and did exactly the same thing.

On the 5/14/05 edition of CNN's Capitol Gang, Al Hunt asked CNN's Bob Novak why Republicans would refuse an offer to solve the filibuster conflict. Novak responded:

"Because the whole system [is] like going to a concentration camp and picking out which people go to the death chamber."

It's becoming pretty clear that all these guys are reading off the same talking points. They really have no concept of what is inappropriate and offensive. All they care about is their extremist agenda - no matter who it runs roughshod over.
