Rep. Steve Cohen: Tea Party “Reprehenisble” But My Nazi Comment’s Fine,(Okay To Play “Nazi Card”)

Well, the efforts to be “civil” between the Republicans and the Democrats in Washington, D.C. this week did not last too long. Once again, Representative Steve Cohen, (D/TN) calls the tea party movement, which is to be given credit for making a conservative GOP USA House majority possible, “reprehensible”, yet Rep. Cohen has NO PROBLEM with his “nazi” comments. How ironic this is, because it was the same Rep. Cohen who called for more “civility” to tone down the rhetoric not that long ago after the horrible tragic aftermath of the recent Tuscon, AZ, USA, shootings.

Could it be that Anderson Cooper is trying to dig deep for the real reason why Rep. Cohen would use what I call the “nazi card”? Also Rep. Cohen made references to compare tea party members to that of the KKK. Rep. Cohen, are you THAT AFRAID of every day Americans doing what the USA Constitution “allows” for us to do, to meet and rally against the massive growth in both government spending and regulations in peaceful assembly? What concerned Americans are doing is simply expressing which is Americans right, the frustrations of this out-of-control federal government. IMHO, what is truly “reprehensible” is a federal government that cannot live in its means or respect the rule of law.

Career Politician, never held a real job.

Stephen Ira “Stevo” Cohen (born May 24, 1949) is the U.S. Representative for Tennessee’s 9th congressional district, serving since 2007. He is a member of the Democratic Party. He previously served as a Tennessee State Senator for 24 years.

Tennessee’s 9th district includes almost three-fourths of Memphis. Cohen is Tennessee’s first Jewish congressman. Cohen is the only non-black representing a black majority district in Congress.[1]

While serving for three years as Legal Advisor for the Memphis Police Department, Cohen rose to political prominence when he was elected to the Tennessee Constitutional Convention of 1977 at the age of 27. The Convention elected him its vice president.[6] Cohen was then elected to serve as a commissioner on the Shelby County Commission, an office he held from 1978 to 1980.[2] During his time at the Commission, Cohen was instrumental in the creation of The Med, a community-funded regional hospital.[6] In 1980, Cohen served as an interim Shelby County General Sessions Court judge.[2] He has also served as a delegate to the 1980, 1992, and 2004 Democratic National Conventions.[2]

Dem. Rep. Steve Cohen (TN) – I submit to you, Mr. Speaker, that the parties have differences. But if you want change, you want the Democratic Party. Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus, who our minister prayed about. Pontius Pilate was a governor. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Lawmaker: ‘Thank God’ Bush is gone

July 22, 2010,

There are many Democrats and at least a few Republicans on Capitol Hill who say they’re glad former President George W. Bush is no longer in office, but Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) this week went one step further: He thanked the Almighty for it.

Cohen took to the House floor on Tuesday, where he delivered remarks titled “Thank God Bush is Gone.”

Cohen blamed the 43rd president for the financial crisis, calling him “Hoover George Bush,” after former president Herbert Hoover.

“Now all [people] can say is Bush is gone,” Cohen said, “Nobody can defend him.”

The lawmaker took a few more swipes at the former president over tax cuts and the Iraq war before concluding, “Now all they can say is that he’s gone. Thank God he’s gone.

Rep. Steven Cohen (D-TN) would be the perfect Judenrat — WW2 Jews that collaborated actively with the Nazis. The Judenräte (Jewish councils) actively worked with the SS to organize the orderly deportation of Jews to the death camps, for detailing the number and occupations of the Jews in the ghettos, for distributing food and medical supplies, and for communicating the orders of the ghetto Nazi masters. The Judenrat took on the functions of local government, providing police and fire protection, postal services, sanitation, transportation, food and fuel distribution, and housing in the ghetto.

How ironic it is that Mr. Cohen is actually the kind of collaborator who would, if he could, work with the very kind of evil tyrants he projects on others.
