Romney campaign tells Obama to "rein in his supporters" on Nazi comments

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/247789-romney-campaign-tells-obama-to-rein-in-his-supporters-on-nazi-comments



Mitt Romney's campaign issued a statement Wednesday demanding Democratic officials "cease and desist from comparing those with whom they disagree to Nazis" after the chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party compared Gov. Nikki Haley (R-S.C.) to Adolf Hitler mistress Eva Braun.





"The latest offender is Dick Harpootlian, the South Carolina Democratic Party chairman, whose outrageous words I will not repeat," said former Sen. Norm Coleman (Minn.) in a statement released by the Romney campaign. "In recent days, we’ve seen similarly disgraceful statements from a top Kansas Democratic delegate and from the chairman of the California Democratic Party."

"President Obama has called for civility in American politics. If his call is to be taken seriously, it’s time for the President to rein in those of his supporters and allies who are trivializing Nazism while also shamelessly trampling on the most basic rules of American political discourse.”

1.) there's this weird new idea, called "Freedom of speech..."
2.) I seem to remember that a defense against a Libel suit, is to tell the truth...
3.) "Bring it, Money-Boy! Thrill Me!"

If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch.

...or roof.

This isn't amateur hour. If you can't deal with pushback, you have no business anywhere near the oval office.


@ the Eva Braun reference.
