Apology Fail- "I'm not comparing him to Adolf Hitler. What I'm saying is there is the potential."
Congressman sorry for likening Obama to Hitler
Posted: 02:38 PM ET

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

Rep. Paul Broun is sorry for seemingly comparing Obama to Adolph Hitler.

“I regret putting it that way,” he told WGAC radio in Augusta, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. “I apologize to anyone who has taken offense at that.” +1000 for making it worse


"We can't be lulled into complacency," Broun added. "You have to remember that Adolf Hitler was elected in a democratic Germany. I'm not comparing him to Adolf Hitler. What I'm saying is there is the potential."


I'm sorry but i'm not sorry, only sorry people complained

And my last name is Broun and if you replaced the O with and A it would be Braun and ironically my wife's first name is Eva!*






















*ok i just made that last line up.

11. I'm not saying Paul Broun raped and murdered a girl in 1998
I'm just saying the possibility exists. It hasn't been conclusively proven that Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) did NOT grusomely rape and murder a girl in 1998, so I'm not making a comparison there. Just that there is the potential that Paul Broun raped and murdered a young woman and that this crime may or may not have occurred in 1998 and may or may not have involved necrophilia of some sort.

4. At least with GWB there was never any worry that he might be another Hitler.

5. Why don't they get that Obama has a 70% approval rate? Its not going to
do anyone any good trying to take Obama down.. the person talking dirty will just look desperate, jealous, and grasping.. They'll look like losers themselves.

9. Broun has the potential to say even stupider things...
Hard to believe, I know, but it's true! I'm betting he will prove me right!

10. Ah yes, the classic Republican "non-apology apology".
Not "I'm sorry for what I said", but "I'm sorry if you librul scumsuckers were offended."
