DeLay Calls Liberals Nazis, Then Claims ‘Only’ Liberals Make Nazi References

delay.jpgWriting on his blog this morning, ex-Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX) accuses liberals and “the radical left” of being the “only” people who enjoy “likening the United States to Nazi Germany,” ignoring his own past comments comparing American liberals to “the ranks of scoundrels like Hitler.”

Noting a recent speech by Russian President Vladimir Putin, in which the head of state apparently compared U.S foreign policy to that of the Third Reich, DeLay hypocritically launched into an attack on liberals:

Odd, I only thought it was the radical left in our own nation which enjoys likening the United States to Nazi Germany. Apparently this disease has spread to Russia as well.

As recently as last month, DeLay made comments comparing American liberals to Nazis. On April 10, appearing on WERS radio in Boston, DeLay claimed that the process that saw him indicted for money laundering, which would be the American legal system, “is the same process” that led to the Holocaust: “it may be six million jews, it may be indicting someone on laws that don’t exist, but it’s the same philosophy, it’s the same world view,” said DeLay.

DeLay also compared liberals to Nazis in his recently released book, “No Retreat, No Surrender”:

“I believe it was Adolf Hitler who first acknowledged that the big lie is more effective than the little lie, because the big lie is so audacious, such an astonishing immorality, that people have a hard time believing anyone would say it if it wasn’t true. You know, the big lie — like the Holocaust never happened or dark-skinned people are less intelligent than light-skinned people. Well, by charging this big lie” — that DeLay violated campaign-finance laws in Texas — “liberals have finally joined the ranks of scoundrels like Hitler.”

DeLay is demonstrating a Gonzales-like memory when he claims that Nazi analogies are an exclusive tool of liberals. In fact, DeLay and many of his conservative allies, are more than happy to make Nazi references if it suits their political aims.

Digg It!

    Not the United States dip fu*k. Bush and his Cabal are trying to turn this into the Fourth Reich, but we won't let the Nazis take over America.

    George W Bush and friends do not equal America.

    George W Bush does not equal America anymore than I equal America. America is made up of 300 million people. They are not all brown shirt nazi neocons. Only 28% of them are.

    oppose the government, and you're a nazi, a terrorist, or a communist.

  16. gummitch Says:

    Much as I hate to say it, the headline is wrong. DeLay didn't claim that only liberals make Nazi claims, but rather than only liberals (and Russians) level that claim at the US government. It's OK to call liberals Nazis, obviously, but not neocons.

    The real irony is that DeLay would like nothing better than to be Chancellor here in the US.

  27. Tobey Tall Says:

    NAZIS AND MADMEN ARE THE SAME IN THIS VIEW

    Pair jailed over Bush-Blair memo leak

    A civil servant and an MP's researcher were today jailed for leaking a secret memo about a meeting on Iraq between Tony Blair and George Bush.

    According to O'Connor's statements to police, Keogh believed the memo exposed the US president as a "madman".

    Peter Kilfoyle, the former defence minister, said yesterday: "There remain unanswered questions about the discussions [between Mr Blair and Mr Bush] about the attack on Falluja and the subsequent deaths of many hundreds of civilians."

    British military chiefs at the time were urging Mr Blair to send extra forces only on British terms, not those of the US, whose tactics they privately damned as brutal and counterproductive.

    PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A NAZI AND MADMAN ---- THATS BUSH

    I recently copied a number of different quotes from Hitler, changed "Jew" to "Muslim" and "jewish" to "islamofascist" and then posted the same quotes on three different right-wing websites, posing as a republican. I was amazed at how many people agreed with me. I am not saying that Bush is Hitler, by any means, but there are some striking comparisons.


  29. Ashen Shard Says:

    No Mr. Delay, we don't compare the United States to Nazi Germany. We compare totalitarian liars like you to Nazis because, quite frankly, you spew the same paranoid, racist, anti-liberal crap they did. You couldn't be much closer if you were quoting directly from Mein Kampf.


  30. Spudge_Boy Says:

    Okay, I will type slow for you again.

    We, the left, compare George W Bush and his cabal to Nazis. We do not compare the United States with Nazi Germany. By Tom DeLay saying that we are comparing the United States to Nazis, HE, not us, are swapping George W Bush and his friends with all of America.

    I shouldn't have to explain this simple sh!t to you, unless you are just trolling.


  31. Jeb Says:

    It's pretty amazing to me that comparisons to Nazis get thrown around as much as they do. They were a blight on the history of humanity. That's a big thing to think about. You are hardpressed to find someone that doesn't thin the Final Solution is One Of The Worst Things That Has Ever Happened(tm). We're talking about things like starving millions in PRC and the Ukraine, Mongol hordes, Antietam, the devastation wreaked on Amerinds, etc. There are some bad things that have occurred. But to compress the extermination of more than 6 (7? 8? Go ahead make it 4, it's still awful) million people into essentially three years is just flabbergasting. It took a generation for the Mongols to get through that many. The Nazis devised a centralized and well-honed plan to kill and process millions of persons because they didn't like them in the abstract. It is difficult to try and comprehend this.

    People in general toss around the Nazi comparisons too much. I get a little peeved even by things like the "Soup Nazi." It's just too flippant. Ars Technica used "Ihre papieren, bitte" the other day in reference to the MPAA. Things like that don't even make any sense. Tom has waddled off the deep end and desperately craves the attention he once merited. He'll turn into Ann Coulter soon and the real world can move on and ignore him.

Only in the steady and constant application of force lies the very first prerequisite for success. This persistence, however, can always and only arise from a definite spiritual conviction. We must support our troops and stay the course. Any violence which does not spring from a firm, spiritual base, will be wavering and uncertain.

    They will appease whoever fights against them because Libs are weak.

    "Putin did not specifically name the United States or NATO but used phrasing similar to that which he has used previously to criticize American foreign policy while making an analogy to Nazi Germany.

    The comments marked the latest in a series of sharply worded Russian criticisms of the foreign policy of the Untied States - on Iraq, missile defense, NATO expansion and, broadly, the accusation that the United States has striven to single-handedly dominate world affairs."

    The Republican party didn't become the war party until Bush Sr. cut and ran from Iraq. Reagan cut and ran from Beirut and Nixon ended up leaving Vietnam. The last Republican before that to start a war was Mckinley. Democrats started way more wars than Republicans. The mani difference is that Republicans always screw up royally. Iraq has been a Republican raised fiasco for decades, hell ever since the iran contra days, even before.

    For a guy who worked tirelessly while in the House to maintain a system of forced sex trade and forced abortions in the Northern Marianas, he sure thinks a lot of himself.

    All of you trolls who defend him: do you support forced sex labor and forced abortions? Because that's what the guy you're supporting did.

    she didn't shut any opinions down. Tom Delay did, after 90 minutes. They were just stating their opinions.

    Adam, a quick quiz for you: In the history of modern industrial nations, which nation OTHER THAN OURS invaded a country which posed no threat to them preemptively without a declaration of war?

    Bonus question: can you think of ANY Founder of our country who would have described us as a "soldierly" nation? Of course I'll need quotes if you think of one.

    And by shut-down, if you mean *educate*, yes that can be fulfilling. But when someone is as incapable of *lurnun* as you are - well *hope* is all one could ever cling to... Poor little st*pid c*nt, EVERYONE knows what a LOST CAUSE you are...

    It's a Nazi tactic to accuse others of behaving the way you are actually behaving to take the sting out of it. You probably didn't know that - did you NAZI BOY? ;)

    There is no end to you fu*king people fighting. And I do mean both Christians and Muslims. Go fight your own god damned holy war. Americans don't want a part of your 2000 year old war. If the Christians can't do it without the help of us heathens then your god is weak and wants you to die.

And then we play at Indymedia and read Ramsey Clark and the freaks and anarchists over at International Answer.....and voila....You poor thing - it's tough admitting when your emotions and curse words get in the way of a REAL argument....

    So you are judged by your most extreme elements? Ironically your extremists (Ann Coulter) are your HEROS. Whereas you'd be hard pressed for ANY Liberals to even know who Ramsey Clark is. Project much? Nazi C*nt!

    Zoooette - A proud (”sniff”) moment occurs when you shut other opinions down - why am I not surprised? Comment by vile venus —

    Zooey didn't shut other opinions down. I gather that she lodged some of the same sort of criticism at "Never retreat/never surrender(!)" Tom as you post frequently here, and that it was simply too much for the big baby to handle. In other words, little Tommy couldn't take the heat he so well deserves and retreated yet again by shutting down the Comment section.
    Liberals/progs are what the name implies--liberal enough to allow trolls like you post your silly and often venomous blather, unlike the neoCON blogs that expect everyone to post in goosestep style.

    Ball-less Hammer (like the current, corrupt president) is NOT a Christian (they are BOTH Pharisees), but he better find some god to pray to before he goes to a Texas prison. Most prisoners are smarter than the DeLay-loving trolls in here; they won't be fooled.

    They will spot that lying phony from clear across the cell block and have a field day with the puffed-up, cowardly bully.

    His prison whites will have a permanent yellow stain down the leg, and a permanent brown spot (with red accents) on the back of his pants. He may have been thinking about that when the picture at the top was taken. He looks WORRRIED!
