Anderson Cooper vs Congressman Cohen Debate: Is Comparing Republicans To Nazis Out Of Line?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4IHQV4_xA0 ^

Posted on 01/20/2011 6:39:40 AM PST by macquire

Channel flipping last night and I caught this exchange on Anderson-Cooper's 360. Surprisingly Cooper did a half way decent job of outing the Tennessee Dem Rep for his language. I was also dumbstruck by the absolute unwillingness by this Democrat to admit he was wrong. Additionally, during the interview he not only defended his Goebbels Nazi charges, he then switched to the TEA PARTY and KKK comparisons that he felt were "relevant"!

What then became hilarious but sad is I switched over to Gretta on Fox who was interviewing Dem Rep Chris Van Holland who bent over backwards to try to sway her that the Rep didn't mean what he said and (Cohen) was apologetic about it, not knowing he (Cohen) had just been on Anderson Cooper and reiterated his belief he (Cohen) was right to make the charge!

I'll be damned if I want the likes of Anderson Cooper acting as language police.

Or any other so-called "journalist" either.

It just promotes the myth that the talking heads and politicians are up there, while the rest of us are down here, waiting for a cue to explode.

The are mental midgets who couldn’t, even if they had to, tell anybody the difference between Nazi, communists, socialists, or capitalists.

This whole one-sided “sensitivity” thing since that congressman was shot and judge was murdered has been prom night for the lib-tards . . . dancing and prancing around attacking anybody who happens to be conservative, regardless if it has anything to do with this madman’s murderous rampage. There hasn’t been a shred of logic in any way, shape, or form for their attacks, but the lamestream media LOVES IT . . . PROM NITE . . . LET’S ATTACK A CONSERVATIVE!

Are Republicans rounding up inner city liberals and shipping them off to forced labor camps, doing scientific “testing” on them and killing them by the trainload? Until one side or the other begins to systematically exterminate 6+ million countrymen for not being like them, comparing them to nazis is out of line.

Stalin. Mao. Pol Pot. Those are valid nazi comparisons. Nothing that has ever gone on in the United States is comparable to the nazis.

Free Speech for me, Civility for you.

I was also dumbstruck by the absolute unwillingness by this Democrat to admit he was wrong.

Professional magicians, entertainers who live by misleading their audiences, are usually "absolutely unwilling" to reveal the truth of their acts too.

Does Cohen not know the connection of the KKK to the Democrats? or that George Wallace ran for president 3 times as a Democrat?

re: Wallace running as Democrat:

Cohen MENTIONED Wallace in reference to being deragatory about the Tea Party!

Unbelievable!

@When you consider the fact that it was THE DEMOCRAT PARTY as well as The Ruling Class Liberals like Joe Kennedy and Henry Ford, Rockefeller,.... that directly Supported Hitler personally and financially, it does seem to be a bit of a stretching the truth, but then again The KKK is and was the DEMOCRAT PARTY

Rush made one of his RARE mistakes

cohen is a CAREER POLITICIAN 20 years as a TN State Senator, and is now a 3rd term US Rep. I doubt he’s ever held a REAL JOB.

I admit my error it’s 24 years, but I was right he’s never held a real job.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Cohen

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]
