Anybody else hear about Bob Novak calling liberals Nazis?

[Cleita]

I tried to get a reliable source on google, but only could find some suspect bulletin board discussions on it.

I guess if he did say it, this must be the new doublespeak attack on liberals.

1. Why isn't Novakula in jail yet?

That vile, treasonous little mutant. :puke:

[Erika]

4. Novak is no longer considered a reporter

He's just a quip and quote guy. You know, senility has set in.

[drdtroit]

13. He's actually a traitor to the USA for

outing Valerie Plame and should be shackled in his cell right now.

[Swamp Rat]

2. That sounds funny coming from an alien lizard

[Bouncy Ball]

3. HE is the little fascist pig.

Oink oink said the Douchebag of Liberty.

[tandem5]

5. that doesn't even make sense...

somebody needs to explain the political spectrum to Novak... We're pinkos, Bob, pinkos!

[Solly Mack]

6. he compared the democrats/filibuster of judges to the selection process

at concentration camps....IIRC

[Cleita]

7. So you're saying he didn't actually use the word Nazi, but

insinuated it? That is more his style.

[Solly Mack]

9. Yes

[LynnTheDem]

10. But NOT republicans when THEY filibustered, of course. Only DEMS

are Nazis for filibustering.

It's ok for republicans to filibuster.

It's ok for the FOUNDING FATHERS and 217 years of Senate rules.

But not for Dems. When Dems do it, it's a Nazi thing.

WHEN will the rightwingnuttery ever learn the FACT that the Nazis were RIGHTWING?

[Solly Mack]

12. That pretty much sums it up, yes

and they'll never learn the Nazis were right wing...

Novak on Democratic proposal to end filibuster fight: "like going to a concentration camp and picking out which people go to the death chamber"

CNN host and syndicated columnist Robert D. Novak compared an offer by Senate Democrats to avert a ban on the use of judicial filibusters with "going to a concentration camp and picking out which people go to the death chamber." Novak was referring to Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid 's(D-NV) proposal on May 12 by to confirm some, but not all, of President Bush's blocked judicial nominees in return for Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) agreeing not to resort to the "nuclear option" to ban judicial filibusters.

On the May 14 edition of CNN's The Capital Gang, Novak responded to a question from panelist Al Hunt:

HUNT: Bob, why would Senator Frist refuse an offer(by Reid) to break the deadlock?

NOVAK: Because the whole system is that you're not going to have -- like going to a concentration camp and picking out which people go to the death chamber. You're not going to let the Democrats do that, say we're going to -- we're going to confirm this person, we're not going to confirm the other person. They're going to -- they're going to say that this is not the way we're going to do it. They've had all kinds of different offers of that kind.
