Again [1] I ask, what is in the water South Carolina Democrats [2] are drinking?
S.C. Democratic Chairman Dick Harpootlian, never a loss for a quick quip, tossed a few stinging one-liners at the Wednesday delegation breakfast.
On Gov. Nikki Haley participating in daily news briefings in a basement studio at the NASCAR Hall of Fame: “She was down in the bunker a la Eva Braun.”
Yes, because the democratically elected Indian-American Republican governor of a US state is so very comparable to the mistress of a genocidal dictator and who joined him in suicide in that bunker.
Yeesh.
The Nazi comparisons are flying fast from the Democrats at their convention. California Democrat Party chairman John Burton [3] compared Paul Ryan to Goebbels, while a Kansas delegate compared him to Hitler, himself.
It’s nothing new for high-ranking Democrats to liken their opposition to an exterminationist German fascist party, though; Nancy Pelosi, while Speaker of the House, claimed Americans protesting as part of the Tea Party movement were brandishing swastikas [4] at town hall meetings.
Must be that “elevated political discourse” they keep talking about.
UPDATE: PJM’s Bryan Preston says Harpootlian should do the decent thing [5] and resign.
