WASHINGTON, CA (AP) -- A Tennessee Democrat is defending his comparison of Republican health care arguments to Nazi propaganda.
Rep. Steve Cohen of Memphis made the remarks earlier this week as House lawmaker debated repealing the new health care law. Cohen, who is Jewish, said Republicans are repeating lies and spreading false information, much like Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels did about Jews before the Holocaust.

IMO, the meme that the NAZI Party was "right wing" is the greatest propaganda achievement of the 20th Century. This movie will destroy that myth. It's high time.
The Nazi doctors: medical killing and the psychology of genocide By Robert Jay Lifton.
This has been proven:
LIBERALS HISTRIONIC OVER UTOPIAN IDEOLOGY CREATE FASCISM
LOOK UPON ITS HISTRIONIC FACE
LOOK UPON ITS GRAPHIC TOTALITARIANISM
WAKE UP AMERICA, WE ARE LOSING OUR COUNTRY!!!!
Read some of the comments over at SFGate.
Those of you who know of me, know I am Jewish. I am also proud to be a conservative.
Politics aside, I am absolutely appalled at the comments of Rep. Cohen. While he may be Jewish, I can assure you he does not share a history like so many of us.
My grandmother was the ONLY surviving member of her family. The others were murdered in camps. Included in this number was my grandmothers younger brother who she last saw when they were separated into groups upon their arrival. Her little brother was three.
Though she was proud to be a survivor, she could not speak of the horrors she lived through as a young girl. We only know the stories as she was able to write what was too painful to speak.
Had ANYONE that Rep. Cohen loved or even knew lived through such horror, he would never be stupid enough to make such an asinine comparison. Best I can tell, the Republicans who oppose Obamacare are not planning on exterminating an entire race.
Unless genocide is being planned, as a REAL Jew, it is reprehensible to use ANY comparison of the Holocaust to any political banter.
Can you imagine the uprising had any Republican made comparisons of Obama to Hitler on the floor of the House of Representatives? The entire media would be frothing at the mouth for an execution.
Rep. Cohen- if you do not know the definition of a KAPO......you should learn. At least to this Jew, you are revolting traitor to the millions who died as you seek to use THEIR memory to dramatize your misguided beliefs.
Ta’ase li tova Steven!
fwiw
Rep. Steve Cohen apologizes for Nazi comments
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0111/47903.html
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) is insisting that he didnt mean to call his Republican colleagues Nazis for their opposition to the health care reform law, but nonetheless is apologizing to anyone offended by what he said on the House floor earlier this week.
In a statement released midday Thursday, Cohen said he wants to be clear that I never called Republicans Nazis. Rather, he said, he referred to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels in a Tuesday night floor speech because he considers Republicans to be peddling propaganda in their opposition to health care reform.
The reference I made was to the greatest propaganda master of all time, he said. Propaganda, which is called messaging today, can be true or false. In this case, the message is false.
This is the same guy who sponsors bills when he doesn’t even know the content.
That tv moment was gold.
From someone who is a Nashville native. I am so sorry. He is one of the last remaining idiots in our legislature. We got rid of alot of them this last election-the repubbies took over house and senate-first time in many decades. There is always one idiot left in a bunch.....sorry guys. We’ll keep trying......Most of us would like for Alabama to take Memphis back anyways......such an embarrassment.....
Cohen is a member of the Congressional Progressive (communist) Caucus.
Rep. Cohen as the typical kapo is a prefect description of this leftist totalitarian disgrace.
I saw something today that said he denied comparing conservatives to nazis. Now he stands by it. WTF??
Democrats in Congress have used this “Republicans are Nazis” BullStalin on the floor of Congress before.
They always get away with this trash. Yet you point out their Marxist ties and they always shout “Red Baiting”.
I loathe the Communist sympathizers who seek to undermine our Constitution at every turn.
This is one of the prime reasons Dems claw to keep office like their lives depend on it. They do. In general, they have no prospects for honest employment after a loss.
Your Momma sounds like a phenomenal lady...an reliable and accurate judge of LibRat behavior as well.
Yet did the tolerant CBC ever let this brown noser in as it first white member?
My question is why are they tolerating this guy serving in one of their seats?! Is Memphis that pathetic they cant dredge up one of their own to represent themselves? Sheesh..
Is that guy taking the cop’s handgun or is that a trick of the camera angle?
