Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) on the "lie" of government takeover of health care: "You say it enough, you repeat the lie, you repeat the lie, and eventually, people believe it. Like blood libel. That's the same kind of thing, blood libel. That's the same kind of thing."

"The Germans said enough about the Jews and people believed it and you have the Holocaust," Rep. Cohen said.

You lie about someone and it is "blood libel", but you can't say "blood libel" if you are a Republican being lied about.

My irony detector just blew up.

It’s so refreshing to see the dems taking the high road, making more civil discussions, listening to President Obama’s request.

The blood libel historically refers to the claim that Jews must use the blood of Christian children to make matzo for Passover.

I’m not positive about it, but I don’t think the blood libel as such was a big component of Nazi propaganda against the Jews. Too religious in orientation, and the Nazis preferred racist rationales for their hatred.

Correction:

“You say it enough, you repeat the lie, you repeat the lie, and eventually, people believe it. Like ‘Obamacare is a good idea.’ That's the same kind of thing, ‘Obamacare is a good idea.’ That's the same kind of thing.”

“The Democrats said enough about the TEA Party and people believed it and you have the media blaming them for the actions of a Left-leaning lunatic gunman in Arizona who was obsessed with an anti-Christain, anti-Bush video,” Rep. Cohen should have said.

Cohen is bought and paid for by the gerrymandered solid Left Ninth District. He's going nowhere for a long time to come.

Gov Hamslam needs to correct this anomaly and the voters can proceed to sterilize Cohen with extreme prejudice.

“Civility” is only supposed to go one way:

Conservatives are not to argue with or defend themselves against liberals.

“F” Civility
