Republicans Are So Afraid of Wendy Davis That They Are Comparing Her To Hitler

A woman who is fighting for a better Texas is now Hitler. This is straight out of the Glenn Beck paranoia and fear handbook. Republicans constantly make this claim based on their myth that Adolph Hitler was pro-abortion. This is a myth because as Gloria Steinem wrote in 1980, “Hitler himself, and the Nazi doctrine he created, were unequivocally opposed to any individual right to abortion.”

Senate Floor. People speaking to a Texas Legislative Committee were removed physically for speaking about the health care of Women after being invited to speak. Late term abortions are very very rare.

It's not that they're afraid of Wendy (though they have the right to be; she's a formidable candidate) but that they feel almost obligated to compare her to Hitler.

The sad part is, until we went to war against the bastard a lot of Republicans thought Hitler was perfectly fine...and even after we went to war some Republicans were still trading with him.

I'll say it again. Hitler was a fascist which is a far right ideology. Which means they are closer to Hitler than Wendy Davis. These idiots don't know enough to insult some one the right way.

As soon as I get my money transferred to the US (from Korea) I have to make a donation. That is one of the races that I want to support even though I am from Oregon.

Only use the holocaust to relate to the holocaust.

Only use "Hitler" to describe Hitler.

Only use rape anolgies to describe rape.

Just my humble suggestions for staying out of trouble and not sounding like a complete asshole.

Of course, you can use "asshole" to describe all kinds of "shit" producing persons, should you so desires.
