File under Chutzpah!
"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."

She could have resigned.

(53,921 posts)As I said in another post, the "Jews" in this case are the gays, not this woman, and not poor, put-upon bigots. The truth is they are the Nazis in the story trying to create a "utopia" in which the Untermensch are marginalized and denied their civil rights. They both do it in the name of their "Father." The parallels are creepy, and now they have that disgusting walking pustule-infected anus, Trump, leading the way!

(23,273 posts)rule of conservatives who hate them and allow them to be beaten, fired, or harassed for how they love, is a lot closer analogy. Being put in jail for contempt because you refuse to follow the law and ignore court orders is NOT like Jews living under Nazi rule. You jackass. You.
frazzled
(18,402 posts)moved her into a cramped, unsanitary ghetto with thousands of others, and made her wear a yellow armband. (They also burned her place of worship). Then put her and her thousands of compatriots at gunpoint and loaded them onto a cattle car and sent her hundreds of miles away to a concentration camp, where they took her clothes, shaved her head, starved her, and then sent her to the showers to be gassed with a bunch of others.
Oh yeah, then they took any gold or silver fillings out of her mouth and made lampshades out of her skin.
It's just like that.
PS: You can not compare what happened to the Jews to anything (even gay people not being able to marry). The closest thing may have been Pol Pot or whatever. But Kim Davis? Not so much.
Besides, she had a choice: to obey the law or not. She chose not. Ding-a-ling-a-ling. When you openly refuse to obey the law, you go to jail.
