Liberals compare us to Hilter all the time. What's the big deal?
If Byrd or Kennedy said it, they'd be hailed, or heiled. Whatever......
whoever uses Hitler/Nazis in any discussion to prove/disprove a position...loses the argument.
I heard him say it and KNEW there would be an apology upcoming. You see he is a Republican and ONLY DIMS can say such things.

What's the problem? I didn't think he said anything wrong.
That phrase right there sums up the Republicrats perfectly. They don't actually do a damned thing.
For the record, i am never ashamed of my comparisons of modern evil to Hitler, and NEITHER should you be, you spineless weenie Santorum!
Go and sin no more.

He was wrong to imply 'rats are nazis. The correct term is 'Stalinists.'
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"
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.
I would ask why a Republican is getting so much scrutiny in the press for this comment and the Democrats due it routinely and get no scrutiny for it, but of course all of us already know the answer.
Senator Santorum's actual words:
"We must tread very carefully before we go radically changing the way we do business here, which has served this country well. We have radically changed the way we do business here.
"Some are suggesting we are trying to change the law, we are trying to break the rules. Remarkable hubris. Imagine, the rule that this is the way we confirm judges has been in place for 214 years, broken by the other side 2 years ago, and the audacity of some Members to stand up and say, How dare you break this rule, it is the equivalent of Adolf Hitler in 1942 saying: I'm in Paris, how dare you invade me, how dare you bomb my city. It's mine. This is no more the rule of the Senate than it was the rule of the Senate before not to filibuster. It was an understanding, an agreement, and it has been abused. ..."
