Santorum Compares Democrats to Hitler
Ok, let's wait and see how long it takes for the right to condemn Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA)for his remarks comparing Democrats to Hitler today. My guess: forget the stop watch, you'll need a calendar.
Via Raw Story and Armando at Daily Kos - and of course, Crooks and Liars has the video:
Said Santorum: "What the Democrats are doing 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."
This was Santorum's view of Hitler comparisons three months ago:
"Senator Byrd's inappropriate remarks comparing his Republican colleagues with Nazis are inexcusable," Santorum said in a statement yesterday. "These comments lessen the credibility of the senator and the decorum of the Senate. He should retract his statement and ask for pardon."
Via Atrios and then Blogenlust, who adds some must-read right-wing condemnations of the left's use of Hitler comparisons, including this one from Time Magazine's blog of the year:
