McCain lights into Cruz for invoking Nazi comparison

[joeybee12]

Arizona Sen. John McCain lit into Ted Cruz's marathon speech against Obamacare shortly after the Texas senator's 21-hour effort came to its conclusion on Wednesday.

McCain, Republicans' 2008 presidential nominee, castigated the effort to use the specter of a government shutdown to defund Obamacare. But more pointedly, McCain sharply criticized Cruz for likening those who oppose defunding Obamacare to Nazi appeasers before World War II.

"I resoundingly reject that allegation. That allegation, in my view, does a great disservice," McCain said on the Senate floor. "I do not agree with that comparison; I think it's wrong."

Cruz had said Tuesday on the Senate floor in reference to those who are skeptical of the effort to undo Obamacare: "I suspect those same pundits who say it can't be done, if it had been in the 1940s we would have been listening to them. Then they would have made television. They would have gotten beyond carrier pigeons and beyond letters and they would have been on tv and they would have been saying, 'You cannot defeat the Germans.'"

When you have to agree with McLame, then it's clear Ted Cruz is one of the more disgusting POS on the planet.

1. Why do fascist-seeming-acting turds so often bring up Nazi comparisons when referring

to others?

2. Because they're idiots...

Really, up is down, right is left, denying someone else thier rights is somehow a God-given right to them.

3. Because they accuse others of what they are doing or want to do themselves.

4. It's pulling a Karl Rove, he perfected that technique of accusing the other guy ...

... of what you were yourself doing.
