Kenney likens Hezbollah to Nazi party

Conservative government spokesman Jason Kenney compared Hezbollah to the German Nazi party Tuesday and said opposition Canadian MPs are providing political cover to the banned organization.

Mr. Kenney, Prime Minister Stephen Harper's parliamentary secretary, said the Liberals in particular have a bad habit of appeasing Hezbollah.

The Liberal government placed Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shia militia, on the federal list of banned terrorist organizations in 2002.

But Mr. Kenney said the Liberals acted only after much prodding by the MPs like himself who were then the opposition.

...

The same was true of Hitler's Nazi party in the 1930s in Germany, and the Nazis “did have a certain measure of popularity,” he said.

Well Kennedy demonstrates that he knows little about the ME, little about European history and little about racism -- including his own.

1. Who is surprised at Kenney saying this? No one, I bet

Kenney is, simply put, an asshole, always has been and, as such, what he says means squat, imo.

NDP's Nash lashes out at `hypocrite'

OTTAWA—Conservative MP Jason Kenney, who likened Hezbollah to the Nazi party and condemned fellow MPs for urging dialogue with a terrorist organization, himself spoke to a rally organized by Iranian supporters of a banned terrorist group.

A photograph of Kenney, who is Prime Minister Stephen Harper's parliamentary secretary, appears on the website of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, the political wing of the PMOI, or People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran.

The PMOI is one of the names used by the MEK, or Mujahedin-e-Khalq, an armed Iranian rebel group formally designated as a terrorist organization by the governments of Canada, the United States and the European Union. The Canadian government put the group on its official terror list in May 2005.

Kenney is shown addressing an April 6 rally on Parliament Hill, and the group says he welcomed participants "on his own behalf as well as the Prime Minister."
