Judge Andrew Napolitano, senior judicial analyst for Fox News, gave a pretty impassioned speech yesterday on the Fox Business Network about the TSA and its new airport safety measures. He even invoked the Nuremberg trials and the rise of Nazism in Germany as a mode of comparison. “Tell the TSA what you think of them,” he said to viewers. “Reject the argument that they are just doing their job. The trials at Nuremberg put an end to that argument.”
He continued by invoking the “first they came for the…” refrain, attributed to a German Pastor writing about the rise of Nazism, and often co-opted by Glenn Beck and others on the right.
“America,” Napolitano continued, “liberty is rarely lost overnight. Rather, it goes slowly with the deluded sheep, happy in their illusion of safety, and the freedom fighters resisting all the way.”
