Rep. Steve Cohen, who is taking heat for saying Republicans lie like the Nazis, once compared the Tea Party to the KKK, as Anderson Cooper calls him out on his hypocrisy in this clip.

Cohen wrote an editorial in Roll Call on the dangers of ‘hateful rhetoric’ and ‘reckless speech’, he wrote: “Reckless and hateful speech often have a terrible human cost. If the events in Arizona are not enough to modulate our public discourse, it is likely there will be more violence and more deaths”, also mentioned by Cooper.

Cooper also nails him by pulling up an audio clip of his comments saying the Tea Party is like the KKK. So much for that civility…

Anyone who says Tea Partiers are comparable to the KKK is too stupid to breed and should be relentlessly mocked out of the public eye.

One can only imagine this PO rection if someone labeled him as a child molester for supporting abortion.

I wonder if his family is proud or embarrassed?

[EyeGuy]

Ok, so how does an ignorant, condescending Communist get elected in normally sensible Tennessee?

Wouldn’t Cohen be more at home on the Upper West side of Manhattan?

Leftists are like the nasty characters from a Charles Dickens novel. They will spew their vitriol at you but when you immediately return the favor they act all indignant.

“I wonder if his family is proud or embarrassed?”

I’ll give 12:1 odds they are proud. Very proud.

And think exactly the same way.....

Cohen's district is basically urban Memphis, which is very "African-American" and very liberal.

Memphis is very liberal, Nashville is liberal, and the rest of the state is rino-to-conservative.

“Ok, so how does an ignorant, condescending Communist get elected in normally sensible Tennessee?”

I think he’s in a gerrymanderd completely safe Dem district.

So much civility coming out of the RATs.

[muawiyah]

All of Cohen's friends are of the same opinion as him ~ they have their own set of names to call people and they feel entitled to do so.

Consequently they feel no guilt at all accusing innocent people of grave crimes.

Aren’t we witnessing the equivalent of a complete nervous breakdown on the part of liberals? The attempt to blame the actions of a madman on harmless symbols and speech is an indication of a collective psychosis. Liberals’ actions and words passed the juvenile stage a while back, Cohen and others are displaying mental derangement.

[Righting]

How sad that the MSM fails to realize that: omparing Rep. to nazis is worse than Sarah Palin's use of "blood libel."

[traderrob6]

What is this “Politifact” he mentions?

[squidward]

Wait, I thought the Nazi’s were socialist? And it is liberals who give or take things from people based on their skin tone. Sounds like the liberals are the racist Nazi to me.

[Califreak]

No idea.

This is the type of thing that makes it impossible to reason with his kind of liberal idiocy..

[therightliveswithus]

That guy is unbelievable

[VeniVidiVici]

Someone should remind Cohen that the KKK was a bunch of Democrats.

[TexasCajun]

...and STILL refused to walk back his hypocrical words, even Doubled-Down and repeated both the Nazi & KKK comparison.

A real, live, talking sphincter!

Never forget that the Klan was formed as the terrorist wing of the Democrat party.
