Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) landed in hot water on Friday for his remarks the previous day comparing the Democrats’ proficiency in getting out their message to the notorious head of the Nazi Party’s propaganda department under Hitler.
“If Joseph Goebbels was around, he’d be very proud of the Democrat Party, because they have an incredible propaganda machine,” West said Thursday.
Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) sent West a note expressing his disappointment in the remark. “I beg of you to help raise the level of congressional discourse in vigorous debate without resort to personal attacks,” Conyers wrote in a handwritten note first obtained by Politico.
West’s remarks came even as Democrats and Republicans scrambled to reach a bipartisan agreement on a spending bill necessary to continue funding the government into the new year.
Yep, Geobbel's would be proud of the modern day Democratic Spin Machine.
“If Joseph Goebbels was around, he’d be very proud of the Democrat Party, because they have an incredible propaganda machine,”
And the problem with that statement is....???
How convenient!!!
Dear Congressman West:
I beg of you to help raise the level of congressional discourse in vigorous debate without comparing us to Nazis, in particular Josef Goebbels.”
Sincerely,
Hermann Goering
The Democrats have been comparing our side to Nazis for years. I recall one incident in particualar in which a Democrat Congressman or Senator accused the Republicans of acting like Nazis during an open committee hearing.
I don’t remember a single call for an apology from anyone at the time, nor do I remember any apology being offered.
Why don't they "come out of the closet", like their constituency?
"I am sorry that Joseph Goebbels would be very proud of the Democrat Party, because they have an incredible propaganda machine."
Politico, Obama, Conyers, Wasserman, Reid, Pelosi, etc. would be in perfect company with Hitler’s mouthpiece, NAZI, Joseph Goebbels, etc. No apology needed or necessary. The truth hurts, but.....the truth is still the truth!!!
‘Proud’ was an unfortunate use of words. ‘Jealous’ would have been better.
Flashback:
“Rep. Steve Cohen stands by ‘Nazi’ comments”
“Tennessee Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen stood by comments he made on the House floor late Tuesday night in which he used a Nazi comparison to discuss Republicans who call the health care law a “government takeover,” but insisted he was making a point about lying, not trying to insinuate that Republicans were Nazis.
“It wasn’t about Nazis, it was about lies,” Cohen told The Daily Caller Wednesday. “The biggest liar, the biggest political liar was Goebbels. Politifact called this the biggest lie of the year. If you don’t stand up and say lies are lies, they stand for the truth. Somebody has to come out and say they’re lies. Politifact did and I cited Politifact. I have no problem with that.”

They live on lies.
Joseph Goebbels learned his methods from an American progressive Democrat named Edward Bernays. Bernays book, “Crystallizing Public Opinion” was a prized possession that Goebbels showed off to all when showing his library.
If you're taking flak, you know you're over the target. Go Lt. Col. West!
Great comparison.
In hot water with whom? About what? The truth?
The truth hurts.
