Kim Davis' Lawyer Says She's Just Like A Jew Living In Nazi Germany

[Generic Other]

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."

1. Hyperbole much?

Hyperbole much? Is she in a cattle car on its way to Poland?

She could have resigned.

2. A clear case of "projection."

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!

4. She should be ashamed to try and make such an analogy

Until a judge orders her to be fed to real lions, she is not being persecuted for her religious beliefs like Jews in Nazi Germany.

3. She's got that a bit backwards

or maybe completely backwards.

5. Godwins Law strikes again

If you have to use Hitler to make your point, you have lost the argument.

8. It never occurs to them that a gay person living under the

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.

9. Right: they came to her house and took all her possessions away,

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.

10. LGBT people are like Jews living in Nazi Germany.

What a truly clueless things to say - except the intended audience really believes that.
