"I want to be clear that I never called Republicans Nazis," said the Tennessee lawmaker in a statement issued Thursday. "I regret that anyone in the Jewish community, my Republican colleagues or anyone else was offended by the portrayal of my comments."
Mr. Cohen said it was "disappointing" his comments have been used to distract from the health care reform debate.
Yes, cohen, you did call us nazi’s..and by using the name Goebbels, you Lost the argument per GODWIN’S LAW..
Unless of course we start rounding up Liberals and putting them in CAMPS.. then you might have a possible comparison..
until then ...STFU!!!!
Secondly, the reference to Goebbels is dated-- why not try a more contemporary liar-- like President Clinton?
(Oops, can't do that, can we?)
Double standard again in our sterling main street media. Think I will read “China Daily” instead of any US news paper. Perhaps it will be more balanced.
This clown was ELECTED to office. It gives us all an idea of how bad things really are. Undoing this nightmare....???
I dunno.
Our only hope is most of the people in this country don’t know what a “congress” is. So, hopefully, they won’t be ready when the SHTF.
That end of Tennessee is a real mess...
This fool gave the address at my granddaughters college graduation. His only advice to the grads was to be kind to their pets. And, no I’m not kidding.
I’ve noticed that the other end is well on its way as well.
There’s an easy way to find out if the lib congresscritters want an eventual complete takeover of American healthcare: strap all of them to a polygraph, and let’s see the responses. I’d bet the great majority lie awake at nights dreaming of the day when they totally control healthcare from their desks in Washington. It’s the nature of the beast...the liberal beast, that is.
In honor of Cohen a reminder:
Leftists love hyperbole, and they love accusing their ideological opponents of crimes of humanity for opposing their agenda. However, they have a particular affinity for Hitler/Nazi metaphors. This is not just because Hitler and Nazism were evil and were responsible for the deaths of millions. After all, communism and its practitioners around the globe have been responsible for far more murder, oppression, and miserable living conditions than the relatively small-fry one-off historical atrocity of Nazism.
Leftists love Hitler references because of the meme that Nazism was a “right-wing” ideology.
True, Nazism did have elements of fascism, which has been associated with the ideology of several other 20th-century dictators. But if leftists think they can get away with popularizing the notion that Nazism more closely mirrors contemporary conservatism than leftism, they’d better hope people don’t look too closely at Nazi ideology and start drawing their own conclusions.
The Nazis’ 25-point plan contained such limited-government recommendations as:
“That all unearned income, and all income that does not arise from work, be abolished”
“[A]ll personal profit arising from the war must be regarded as treason to the people. We therefore demand the total confiscation of all war profits”
“We demand the nationalization of all trusts”
“We demand profit-sharing in large industries”
“We demand a generous increase in old-age pensions”
“The State has the duty to help raise the standard of national health by providing maternity welfare centers, by prohibiting juvenile labor, by increasing physical fitness through the introduction of compulsory games and gymnastics, and by the greatest possible encouragement of associations concerned with the physical education of the young”
“We demand the abolition of the regular army and the creation of a national (folk) army”
In case it’s not obvious, these planks overlap with 90% of the platform of the modern Democratic Party.

So, what is the treatment for foot-in-mouth disease???
I suggest he study his Torah— I believe the part relevant is in what we sometimes call the Decalogue /or Ten Commandmments
found in Exodus 20:16-I may be wrong but I believe there is no significant difference between the Hebrew and the modern English translation from it. Thou shalt not bear false witness against your neighbor (is one translation) I seem to remember a college professor who happened to be Jewish that taught us Never speak in generalities suck talk generally proves you don’t know what you talk of.
It’s beyond comprehension how people from the great state of Tennessee can vote for a despicable human being as this guy Cohen to represent them. Davy Parker must be turning over in his grave.
I notice that the ‘green agenda’ is being introduced into East Tennessee Christian schools...all based on the Scriptures; of course...
Yipes!
His district is 60% black.
