Jack Hunter has now resigned as Sen. Rand Paul’s senior aide. But here are some more of his greatest hits. As recently as 2009 he wrote the following things comparing Abraham Lincoln to Adolph Hitler …
“Hitler was an admirer of the 16th president [Lincoln] for all the obvious reasons.”
“Hitler’s language and actions were similar to Lincoln’s, who believed that state sovereignty was foolish compared to “saving the union.””
“The 16th president had far more in common with the Nazi dictator than the Southern soldiers who died fighting for their country’s independence.”
“Conducting the first “total war” of the modern era — in which Lincoln’s armies intentionally targeted innocent women, children, and old men in the South — was nothing less than an act of “genocide” against Southerners.”
Here’s the whole piece.
