Tom DeLay has lots more to say about why liberals are like Nazis
You may remember that in Tom DeLay’s new book, he compares liberals to Hitler. Why? Because he was prosecuted for violating campaign finance laws. (If I understand the history correctly, this is precisely what Hitler did to his enemies.)

It turns out DeLay is eager to stand by and amplify on these remarks. Here he is being interviewed by David Goodman of the show “You Are Here” on Emerson’s radio station WERS today:

Listen (mp3)

DELAY: I am so outraged by this whole criminalization of politics. It’s not good enough to defeat somebody politically. It’s not even good enough to vilify somebody publicly. They have to carpet bomb you with lies and made up scandals and false charges and indicting you on laws that don’t exist. … It’s the same thing as I say in my book, that the Nazis used. When you use the big lie in order to gain and maintain power, it is immoral and it is outrageous…

It’s the same process. It’s the same criminalization of politics. it’s the same oppression of people. It’s the same destroy people in order to gain power. It may be six million Jews. it may be indicting somebody on laws that don’t exist. But, it’s the same philosophy and it’s the same world view.

1. What an ego. His prosecution and the deaths of 6 million Jews
were comparable atrocities? Please, someone pull the plug on this guy and stop giving him publicity!

2. Well, after making that comparison he can kiss my ass
I'm sorry... his plight has nothing in common with Holocaust victims. Nothing more to say.

3. Where is the rebuttal article.
See how the media is ruled by the cons and if we don't take more control we are going to lose over and over and over.

13. nazi is as nazi does. I think delay knows that. Heck, he is just projecting his faults and
failures onto us. All republics do that! It's their MO.

16. naaa, he's just a filthy, lying, thieving, low-down piece of pond-scum...
DeLay even lacks the character of a Nazi. As monstrous as Nazis were (are) comparing him to them is unfair...

unfair to Nazis!

15. So the evil Nazi Liberals trumped up charges on you Tom?
Then why the fuck did you TURN YOURSELF IN TO THE POLICE for a mugshot? Why Tom? What law forced you to get a mugshot if it didn't exist? Tom?

DeLay is a criminal and don't take my word for it, just look at his mugshot. Let us call him Criminal DeLay from now on.
