Barbars Boxer vs. Meg Whitman: Which Is Worse, Bad Hair or Being a Nazi?

The Republican candidate for the Senate from California, Carly Fiorina, was excoriated in the media for an off-microphone comment about the hair of her Democratic opponent, long-time Senator Barbara Boxer. In fact, Fiorina was recounting the comment of another person, who said that Boxer’s hair was “yesterday.” Nevertheless, the mainstream media depicted Fiorina as petty and catty.

Meanwhile, the Democratic candidate for Governor of California, Jerry Brown, compared his Republican opponent, Meg Whitman, to Joseph Goebbels. Goebbels was Hitler’s minister of propaganda. He was such a devoted Nazi that when Hitler committed suicide, Goebbels and his wife did the same − after poisoning their six children. Goebbels was a leading Nazi, one of the worst of the worst. To compare Meg Whitman to Goebbels is a disgusting insult that calls into question the judgment and even the rationality of the person speaking.

if someone is a republican, which by definition means they prefer smaller government and personal responsibility, then how could they be a nazi?

nazi’s are for larger, all encompassing, government and believe in the nanny state, thereby very little personal responsibility.

which is exactly what the democrats normally favor.

whenever democrats use nazi comparisons, they should be corrected.

Go find out what was really said.

No one called her a Nazi.

I’m so sick of this Hillary-the-Victim type crap.

Nevertheless, the mainstream media depicted Fiorina as petty and catty...Fiorina's comment comes nowhere near the demeaning small-mindedness of Boxer's demanding that a General address her as Senator "because I've earned it" - a woman of the people indeed......

[Tzimisce]

That's SENATOR Boxer. She worked real hard for that title you know....

Actually, a great example of being "petty", "catty" and snobbish, would be dressing down a general in forcing him to call you 'senator' because you 'earned it'.

The statement by Brown was made concerning Whitman. Here is the quote from the "journalist" who broke the story:

"I never wrote that Brown called Meg Whitman a Nazi, or compared her or her campaign to Nazis. I simply reported his words, in which he likens her advertising approach to the propaganda techniques used by Goebbels. I leave it to others to draw their own conclusions. I am not responsible for the headline-writing or media shorthand of other organizations. You never heard "Brown Calls Whitman A Nazi" on KCBS, because we never said it that way, and that's not how we operate."

I thought the national socialist WAS the one with bad hair!!!

Oh yeah, the lefties reading impairment.

40+ years and they still cant see the second word in NAZI!

Boxer has more than bad hair she has a bad brain and Brown has no brain,see past record of both.

“he [Brown] likens her [Whitman’s] advertising approach to the propaganda techniques used by Goebbels.”

No, Brown made a rational statement in which he didn’t call her a Nazi directly, he equilibrated her to one.

Before this campaign is over, Meg should return the favor. She can do it substantively with evidence, and equilibrate former governor Brown’s consequences to the state of California to those upon Russia by Lenin.

There is one thing stopping Meg from doing that. What is it?
