New York's Governor Cuomo really stepped in it this weekend when discussing his views on the state of the GOP:
"Their problem is not me and the Democrats; their problem is themselves," he said. "Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay? Is that who they are? Because if that's who they are and they're the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York, because that's not who New Yorkers are."
Cuomo can walk this statement back all he wants, but the fact is, when liberals speak off the cuff and let their guard down -- without the protection that comes from teleprompters and prepared speeches -- they speak their true beliefs. Does anyone doubt that Cuomo would prefer to govern New York (or this country) unencumbered and unimpeded by conservative dissent? Is there any doubt that most left-wingers dream of a utopian paradise without a conservative thorn in their collective sides?
Like it or not, this reeks of totalitarianism-in-training. I'm not one to pull analogies out of the air willy-nilly, especially regarding something as serious as the Holocaust and the German Reich, but this statement by Cuomo is about as odious and ominous as it gets.
Juden raus. Judenrein. Judenfrei. Das Juden Problem. The Jews had no place in Germany (or Europe or the world, for that matter), because that's not who the Germans were. They didn't share the same value system or culture or place in the hierarchy of man, as the Germans. Germany's problem was simply the Jews themselves, much as the problem Cuomo is referring to is the conservatives themselves. The Conservative Problem. Conservative Free. Cleansed of Conservatives. Conservatives Out!

“You misunderstood/distorted my remarks” is not a backtrack, it’s a misdirect.
Ask Cuomo if conservatives should sew a yellow star on their cloths so other New Yorkers can easily identify them?
Liberal elite haters clustered in New York... relishing the death of infants. Must be charming.
To the productive, conservative New Yorkers: Come to Texas!
“His comment is intolerant in the least and borders on Hitler-esque once given some thought.”
No. It doesn’t BORDER on Hitler-esque it IS Hitler-esque. Absolutely and in fact.
