Money Quote:
Interviewer: Do you think there’s legitimate grassroot opposition going on here?
Pelosi: “I think they’re Astroturf… You be the judge. “They’re carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare.”
Seems ol’ Pelosi has some issues with her, ahem, Vision….
Steve Gilbert over at Sweetness and Light makes a very good point:
Of course her mistake may be understandable, especially in view of Mr. Obama’s latest logo for his healthcare program:
And it has been suggested that receiving Botox injections can cause blurry vision.
Of course given that she was talking about Democrat town halls, her confusion is even more understandable given the overlap between Nazi programs and Democrats’ pet issues anyway, as we all know.
The Nazis being: against big banks and capitalism in general, against big department stores, against pollution, for two years mandatory voluntary service to the country, for make-work projects (such as the autobahn), against vivisection and cruelty and to animals, against smoking and all tobacco products, for abortion and euthanasia of the infirm and undesirable – and, of course, for cradle-to-grave nationalized healthcare.
In fact, if you look really hard, you can sometimes even find a hint of anti-Semitism in the Democrat Party.
My God. Is not it not the truth? Is it not ironic that the same party that fought for and won the ability to segregate against blacks; is now trying to compare those who are opposed to the President’s idea of Nationalized Health-care as Nazi’s?
The Irony is amazing.
