Santorum Regrets Making Hitler Comment

You are no longer on the left?

Must be an administrative error or something.

[Petronski]

What a flabby, flaccid mind you have.

[Hank Rearden]

Senate leaders prepared to start a countdown

That phrase right there sums up the Republicrats perfectly. They don't actually do a damned thing.

[SoothingDave]

In between trying to murder people by pimping for Accuweather and dragging his dead fetus around for a bit of family show and tell,

You're repugnant. If a man loving his children, even the one who only lived for an hour, is some sort of provocation to you, you might want to rethink things.

I take it that when you debate you prefer to skip the insult by analogy and get right to personal insults.

[tame]

oh, CRAP, Santorum! must you ALWAYS give in to the PC thought police?!?

For the record, i am never ashamed of my comparisons of modern evil to Hitler, and NEITHER should you be, you spineless weenie Santorum!

[Petronski]

Look at your own post, won't you?

You don't counter my contention that MurryMom has a flabby, flaccid mind. You attack my fairness.

You attack me.




You are (ironically) guilty of EXACTLY the accusation you bring against me.

[stitches1951]

I agree. Too many died to remove the monster. Bandying the Nazi label around on a daily bases makes what happened in the 1930's-1940's base, common and everyday. It wasn't. It was a monstrous evil and no American politician comes close to that nadir. The name "Hitler" and the term "Nazi" should cause nightmares in young children and send shivers down the spines of adults everywhere and every-when.

“Referencing Hitler was meant to dramatize the principle of an argument, not to characterize my Democratic colleagues.”

Go and sin no more.

“President Bush continues the practice of the big lie as prescribed by Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda ace.”

-- Father Andrew Greeley, in a column published today.

[MurryMom]

You're repugnant.

The point you missed is that there are more creative ways of insulting the political opposition than bringing out the "Hitler" card every time there is a disagreement on an important issue. My post didn't compare the boy wonder from Tyson's Corner to the Nazis and I'm not even a United States Senator.

[stylin19a]

you lose.

No kidding. Now explain to me why it is necessary to mock Santorum's love for his son who died shortly after birth? Is that better or worse than careless Hitler analogies?

[Marysecretary]

Exactly! He didn't bother me with that statement but the demorats are soooo sensitive these days. THEY can say it but a pubbie? oooooohhhhhh, what he said! Sob.

[LibWhacker]

He was wrong to imply 'rats are nazis. The correct term is 'Stalinists.'

[kjam22]

I heard the comment. I thought it was pretty funny. He should apologize and say "I wasnt' refering to all democrats when I linked them to Hitler, just Sheets and the Swimmer"

[lugsoul]

Not here...

[numberonepal]

no American politician comes close to that nadir.

You sure about that?

[aculeus]

If devout Catholic Michael Moore confessed his filmed lies to Father Greeley what would Greeley say?

"Go and lie some more"?

I'm generally fogging out on this whole judicial appointment controversy, although I believe the Republicans should hold tight and stick together on this issue.
