Rep. Jason Villalba is standing by a Tweet he made during Tuesday’s Democratic debate that included an image connecting presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders’ standing as a “Democratic socialist” to Nazism.
Under fire from Texas Democrats, the Dallas Republican said it was “ridiculous” to say that he compared Democrats to Nazis in the social media message.
Villalba said the Tweet’s attached image, which refers to Nazis, was just a “meme that was floating around the web.” He pointed instead to the text of his Tweet, which blasted the Democratic Party for being “filled with Democratic Socialists and soft socialists.”
“It’s perfectly accurate,” he said. “I was in no way making a comparison to the current Democratic Party and Nazis. If they want to read it that way, then that’s their prerogative. That’s not what the intent is.”

““I was in no way making a comparison to the current Democratic Party and Nazis.”
Sounds like a Democrat, first instinct is to deny it, when it was perfectly appropriate and relevant to do just that.
Sounds like he’s a day or two away from an apology.
Amen.
I still wonder why the Democrat Party allows an “Independent” to run in the Democratic primary.
Yep.
Stand strong, and point out that Nazis were hard-core socialists.
just replace “the proletariat” with the Aryan race. Otherwise, everything else is the same.
John McCain is figuratively clutching his pearls! “We are NOT supposed to publically call them out. When they do lose, they will blame us!”
...abbreviation of German pronunciation of Nationalsozialist (based on earlier German sozi, popular abbreviation of “socialist”), from Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei “National Socialist German Workers’ Party,” led by Hitler from 1920.

SHH can’t say that!
Libs get bent our of shape when presented with facts and logic.
Bernie Sanders is a raving lunatic - Howard Dean 2.0! (But at least he's NOT Hillary)
Didn’t Hillary mention boxcars and told us to get over our outrage? The media didn’t care either.
What’s the difference between a democratic socialist and a national socialist?
This is the guy who wanted to shield cops from being filmed by the public, if the name seems familiar.
When I’m at a saloon and some rat starts haranguing me with liberal manure, I have no problem calling the twit a Nazi. I mean what’s the castrated wimp gonna do, drag me into the parking lot and read me the hockey stick global warming numbers?
Read the comments at the blog link. The mentally challenged folks attempting to explain the difference between National Socialism and Democratic Socialism is a hoot.
No matter what word you place in front of it, socialism is NOT freedom. Its tyranny. Whether its the slow rot found in Western European countries, or the more violent and oppressive kind observed in China, Nazi Germany, and the Soviet Union, its still not anything Americans should ever desire.
That oughta' preculde the regularly scheduled pick on nickcarraway day activity.
If I see any, I'll point to this thread.
See?
He 'aint such a bad guy. 8^')
