State Sen. Stacey Campfield today compared the Affordable Healthcare Act, also known as Obamacare, to the Holocaust.

Writing on his blog, Campfield stated: "Democrats bragging about the number of mandatory sign ups for Obamacare is like Germans bragging about the number of mandatory sign ups for 'train rides' for Jews in the 40s."

During World War II, Jews across Europe were packed into cattle cars and transported to concentration camps. Approximately 6 million Jews were killed.

1. Kinda got this one backwards, if you dont sign up it will be Nazi death camps

2. More revisionism from the GOP

It was THEIR side who wanted the Death Panels.

4. Actually, the GOP has repeatedly reputiated Campfield and in this kerfuffle

they're scrambling all over each other to see who can denounce him more harshly. idiots. what did they expect when they embraced the tea partiers?

3. Hey Campfield you might wanna check your own crazy train

It just went off the rails...

5. wtf is wrong with these people?

6. Geeze, only in America is signing up for healthcare access

akin to being boarded on a train to a concentration camp.

7. tact and accuracy aside, don't they have any other damn metaphors?

background checks? ALASKAN DEATH CAMPS
trains faster than 20 mph average? ALASKAN DEATH CAMPS
1st-generation polio vaccine? ALASKAN DEATH CAMPS
tornado anywhere? OBAMA TORNADO MACHINE (wait that doesn't fit)

of course it's just Papen vs. Schleicher at this point, but I digress
