Fox Guest Compares Obama IRS Uproar To Nazi Germany

Conservative activist Tom Zawistowski, the former president of the Ohio Liberty Coalition, compared the Obama administration's ongoing IRS scandal to Nazi Germany during an appearance Thursday afternoon on Fox News.

Zawistowski appeared on Neil Cavuto's show to say that he believed his group was among those targeted by the IRS. He said it took two-and-a-half years for his organization's tax-exempt status to be approved.

After describing the delay as "onerous intrusive and politically motivated", Zawistowski, called the responses he received from the IRS as "frightening. This is unbelievable. This is Nazi Germany," he said.

Don't discourage them folks. The more hyperbolic their conspiracy theories, the faster the morans who watch Faux will burn out on them.

That any time a TV news pundit compares ANYTHING to the Holocaust (with the possible exception of Stalin's Five Year Plans or the Killing Fields of Cambodia), said pundit and his family should be rounded up, placed on a cattle car, shipped halfway across the country, beaten, starved and worked to death in a labor camp. And then, as they're breathing their last, someone standing over them should say, "See the difference?"

I would add a couple more to your list, but yeah, these fools don't even know what they are talking about, it's like watching chimpanzees throwing turds at the spectators.
