Republican Nazis

Former KKK leader and current senior Democratic Senate leader Robert Byrd compares the Republicans to Nazis and then backpeddles:

Byrd cited Hitler's 1930s rise to power by, in part, pushing legislation through the German parliament that seemed to legitimize his ascension.
"We, unlike Nazi Germany or Mussolini's Italy, have never stopped being a nation of laws, not of men," Byrd said. "But witness how men with motives and a majority can manipulate law to cruel and unjust ends."
Byrd then quoted historian Alan Bullock, saying Hitler "turned the law inside out and made illegality legal."

His fellow Democrats were rightly outraged and had this to say...

Yeah right. They instead were outraged by this:

"I say we tell those liberal, tree-hugging, Birkenstock-wearing, hippie, tie-dyed liberals to go make their movies and their music and whine somewhere else," he said.
He added it was "too damn bad we didn't buy them a ticket" to become human shields in Iraq.

Let's compare the two:
A senior Senator who has the audacity to name hundreds of buildings in his home state after himself compares the majority party to a genocidal mass-murderer, or

A previously unknown US Representative from Nevada compares liberals to...well any liberal living in Berkeley.

Hmmm, I see the cause of liberal outrage.
