Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ) said Friday, during a House debate on Obama’s free trade bill, that the made-up stories and facts he was hearing about big labor would make Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels “very proud.”
Schweikert said he was “compelled” to run down to the mic because he was “enraged with the duplicity” he’d heard during the debate over Obama’s Pacific Rim initiative to grant financial aid to displaced workers.
“Some of the crazy things I’m seeing put out in the media by big labor, the willingness to make up stories, to make up facts — Goebbels would be very proud of them,” Schweikert said. “Be careful that we’re not getting conned by made-up stories.”
Schweikert is not the first Representative to draw comparisons to Goebbels.
In 2011, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) compared GOPers, who he accused of spreading lies about Obamacare, to the infamous Nazi.
Watch the video below, from The Washington Post:
No they wouldn’t. Goebbels would have been incredibly proud of the double-speak and double-think that the GOP rely upon to get their horrible agenda passed, but he would have rather died than do anything with regards to Labor.
Republicans always seem to know exactly how the Nazis would feel about something. Anyone want to venture a guess as to why?
I personally know of no Democrats who would poison his six children because life in the bunker was under siege by the Russians and the end of the Nazi’s grip on Germany was at hand and then commit suicide with his wife. I’ll also go out on a limb and say that this asshat doesn’t know Goebbels’ first name or that of his wife and couldn’t identify him in a lineup. But say GOEBBELS loud enough and the nuts tremble.
P-r-o-j-e-c-t-i-o-n.
As a Nazi, I’m not sure how happy I’d be to have my family fall into the hands of the Russians at the end of WWII.
