Kim Davis' Lawyer Says She's Just Like A Jew Living In Nazi Germany

[yuiyoshida]

A federal judge put Kim Davis in custody of U.S. Marshals today after the Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk repeatedly flouted the law by ordering the county office to refuse to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Dominic Holden reports that Judge David Bunning, a Bush-appointee, “did not believe it made sense to fine Davis because he did not believe it would compel her to act.”

Yesterday, Davis’ attorney, Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel, appeared on “Crosstalk” to defend Davis, claiming that she is simply trying to do her job, or at least, her job as she sees it. He even likened her to a Jewish person living under Nazi rule.

When host Jim Schneider of VCY America asked why Davis won’t resign, he said that the county’s residents support her and “she’d probably be able to win the governor’s seat right now rather than just the clerk of Rowan County. She’s there to do a duty, a job and the job duty was changed.”

“Does that mean that if you’re Christian, don’t apply here; if you’re a Jew, you gotta get — what happened in Nazi Germany, what happened there first, they removed the Jews from government public employment, then they stopped patronizing them in their private businesses, then they continued to stigmatize them, then they were the ‘problems,’ then they killed them,” Staver said. “The fact of the matter is, she has a right to this employment and you don’t lose your constitutional liberties just because you are employed by the government.”

There are deep pockets behind this

43. oh please not again!!!!!

HULK SMASH!

44. I thought of The Hulk about two seconds

after I clicked "post."

[arcane1]

2. Her lawyer is an idiot n/t

[Demeter]

3. Uh, no. Jews in Nazi Germany were in hiding, trying not to draw attention to themselves

They weren't out spitting on the SS troops or the Gentiles.

[rocktivity]

4. Or an engaged homosexual living in Kentucky.

6. This lawyer committed malpractice by advising her to go to jail

[Baitball Blogger]

19. They may be hoping to turn this into a political event

that can be exploited in the courts or the voting booths.

[mnhtnbb]

7. Somebody needs to file a complaint against that attorney with the KY Bar Association.

What a doofus.

[davidpdx]

38. I agree, but unfortunately I don't think that comment would cause him to get disbarred

Maybe there is something else he's done that would.

[Angry Dragon]

9. Staver sounds a lot like Joe McCarthy

she has no right to this employment

[spanone]

10. how did that dumbass get a law degree? jeeeebus

[hifiguy]

18. Wikipedia says he graduated from the U of Kentucky law school

He's a former "minister" in the Seventh Day Adventists, FWIW.

A dolt by any other name would be just as stupid, apoloties to W. Shakespeare.

[Major Hogwash]

40. Carmel-covered popcorn, peanuts, and a prize . . .

And sometimes the prize is a law degree from the University of Kentucky!

That's what you get with Kentucky Crackers, Jack!

11. Bullshit, if you're going to use a Nazi analogy, at least use it CORRECTLY

Jewish people in Germany were obeying the laws in general, and were penalized and killed ONLY for their religion.

[gohuskies]

12. No, it's a self inflicted act of arrogance

This lawyer lives in a world full of stupid. The comparison is absolute rubbish and the height of hypocrisy. At the very least, she is a grandstanding charlatan looking for attention. As a 'public' servant she is a total failure and inflicting her religion upon others to hate and discriminate. She should be relieved of her duties for malfeasance.

[yuiyoshida]

13. Sounds like they are both

Drama queens.

I think it's time to start putting on the deep water boots.

23. LOL!

Sgt Schultz always brightens the day.

Did you check out that book on Korean pop culture?

[yuiyoshida]

37. That guy is so hilarious

I have a friend who can do a perfect imitation of him and every time he does it I just crack up laughing.

21. Paging the ABA/NLG.

This idiot is embarrassing your profession.

[joeybee12]

24. I'm so sick of these fascists calling everyone else fascists...

Which begs the question, are these people liars or just stupid?

[Warpy]

25. No, Mat, she's more like a Nazi

while Germany was still being run by sensible people before the Nazis took over. She's a bully who thinks her stupid ideology trumps everything else.

Religious bullies will always offend sensible people, especially when they're towering hypocrites like Kim Davis.

[muntrv]

26. No, Kim! You are like the Nazi clerk who refuses to issue Jews marriage licenses!

[onenote]

28. +1

[steve2470]

34. yep that's a good analogy nt

[tymorial]

29. I do not seem to recall hearing stories of

Jews in internment camps having 3 square meals a day, everyday let alone being allowed to LIVE.

[sarisataka]

30. Yes it's exactly like that

Except for being nearly exactly the opposite...

[Marrah_G]

31. of course he does

I hope she rots in that cell until she steps down.

[Oilwellian]

32. That's all she can do at this point...step down

I doubt she would swallow her pious pride and start issuing the licenses. Either way, it sounds like a win to me.

[Behind the Aegis]

36. Wrong. The "Jews" in this case are the gays!

We are the ones, like the Jews, being denied our rights, not the other way around! I am so fucking sick of everyone co-opting the Holocaust for their petty and, often, bigoted shit! Of course, when a Jew makes a comparison or dares to speak about it, we are told "to get over it!"

[leftynyc]

39. Well put, Aegis

Jews weren't actively breaking any laws inviting prison in order to be martyrs to some cause.

[CBGLuthier]

41. Jews were not persecuted for their beliefs. They were persecuted for their ethnicity.

More than a few christians who were of jewish ethnicity were sent to the camps along with everyone else. Her analogy fails on the basic facts.

[Rex]

42. This is great, her lawyer is a fucking moron so she will lose bigtime.

Um, she has a job to do and she won't do it! EOM.
