[MisterP]

1. why's he using Rhodesia and South Africa as negative examples? what sort of Republican and neocon...

[Lost-in-FL]

2. Wow... what a stupid thing to say. nt

[onehandle]

3. That's a misquote --->

[Atman]

4. +100

[cindyperry2010]

7. that is an estimate

[RoccoR5955]

12. Are you sure it's inches.

and not nanometers?

[geardaddy]

15. +100

[Iliyah]

5. And Mittens feel the same way.

They, the rich (1-2 %) feel that they are entitled to such, fuck the little people tho, make them pay all the taxes....

More more more money for me me me me me!

Heil Gover, Heil Walker, HEIL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!

[april]

6. I think this is called Treason....

All of the GOP is hurting us.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

8. What a dumbass

And you need a shave Grover. Your beard is too thin to look good.

[renegade000]

9. by that standard... i would think most of our laws are evil...

I bet those regimes had laws against all sorts of things like murder, theft, rape...

[JoePhilly]

10. Let's pay to send Grover to some other country.

[Diclotican]

18. JoePhilly

JoePhilly

No other country wil have him - you are stuck with him...

Diclotican

[JoePhilly]

19. I can dream can't I!!!

I hate that prick.

[Diclotican]

30. JoePhilly

JoePhilly

True, you can dream - as many do, about the nut cases getting the medical attentions they need - and the US going back to some form of sanity again....

I for one hope for it, at least...

Diclotican

[SoutherDem]

11. Let a Democrat say such an insane thing and...

FOX would call it "Breaking News" and Limbaugh would be bellowing hot molten lava. Demanding an apology for comparing the Republicans to Nazis.

[yurbud]

13. said the spokesman for rich CRYBABIES

[wordpix]

17. My hunch is he's funded by corporate America, esp. BigOil

Just a hunch, but if someone has time to do a little research, it will be appreciated.

[drm604]

22. I keep thinking the same thing.

Nobody elected Grover frigging Norquist.

[Hubert Flottz]

16. Here's my idea...

Lets bring home every service man and woman home ASAP and send Grover and his pals over to replace them all, ASAP. Look at the billions of dollars the taxpayers would save.

If we were really Nazis, Grover would be hand digging and loading coal, with a broom up his ass to sweep up the mine, 24/7, with wormy turnip soup for lunch.

[McCamy Taylor]

20. Some Big Lies are too HUGE to ever be believed no matter how often you say them.

But go on, and keep repeating this one, Grover, because it makes you sound like a total idiot--and it should help to mobilize the Democratic base, too!

[drm604]

21. Geeze, is this guy serious?

Does he really believe his own rhetoric or is he just trying to sway the masses?

If he believes it then he's an idiot. If he's just saying it in an attempt to sway the masses, then he's an amoral assclown.

[The Wizard]

23. Who funds Norquist?

Did he approve of Reagan's tax increases? Grover needs a good sucker punch in the nose.

[polichick]

25. Amazing that one of our only two viable parties kisses this guy's ass!

That's pretty much all you need to know about the state of our ex-democratic union.

[RufusTFirefly]

26. From the same guy who once likened the estate tax to the Holocaust. Figures.

Terry Gross, Grover Norquist and the Holocaust

Terry Gross: Excuse me. Excuse me one second. Did you just ...

Grover Norquist: Yeah?

Terry Gross: -- compare the estate tax with the Holocaust?

Grover Norquist: No, the morality that says it's OK to do something to do a group because they're a small percentage of the population is the morality that says that the Holocaust is OK because they didn't target everybody, just a small percentage. What are you worried about? It's not you. It's not you. It's them. And arguing that it's OK to loot some group because it's them, or kill some group because it's them and because it's a small number, that has no place in a democratic society that treats people equally. The government's going to do something to or for us, it should treat us all equally."

[TahitiNut]

35. Billionaires ... our new "oppressed minority" (according to Grover)

He's the founder for the National Association for the Advancement of Wealthy People!

[RufusTFirefly]

39. Hahaha! I have a white, Christian, straight, married, middle-aged, right-wing male friend ...

... who's convinced that his demographic is among the most discriminated against on the planet.

And the irony is that he's not wealthy but merely middle-class.

Yet instead of being angry with the rich who are robbing him blind, he's mad at practically everyone else.

[polichick]

51. Somewhere on DU there is a cartoon about those guys...

It shows the guy you describe saying that he's a Republican to keep minorities, women, immigrants, etc. from ruining his life - and then it shows a 1%/corporate type who says he's a Republican to keep voters like that middle class guy from knowing he's the one ruining his life.

Perfect!

[HughBeaumont]

27. Congress?

Your oath and allegiance is to the Constitution and the people of this country, not to The Most Important Yard Gnome in History and his corporate backers. That is all.

[Turbineguy]

28. Hitler

would have loved to have Norquist on his staff.

[yurbud]

29. so the industrialists who backed Hitler wanted to be persecuted?

and those who profited from the cheap labor and little legal recourse for blacks under Apartheid?

It's funny how the right uses their own outliers for boogeymen.

[DainBramaged]

31. Fuck you Grover, and the free ride jackass you rode in on

what a nasty fuck

[AlbertCat]

32. Schumer doesn't need to go back to Germany in the 1930's

He can find the legislation he needs right here in the USA in the 30's, 40's, and 50's.

And the 60's and 70's....

[Jamaal510]

33. Grover

is the most self-serving yard gnome I have ever seen.

[TahitiNut]

34. Oh, the irony ... from the "love it or leave it" crowd!

Personally, I'd INVITE such multi-millionaire tax-evaders to find another country... preferably one where they seem to enjoy EMPLOYING people, like Chian, or Haiti, or Mexico, or ...

[dmr]

36. All this for a citizenship-renouncing billionaire tax cheat?

Disgusting.

He & his damn oath ought to be run out of Washington.

[crunch60]

37. Gov. Norquist and Gov.Scott Walker are good buddies, both are big PIMPS for the KOCH brothers.

[underpants]

38. Norquist stole "the original German" from Molly Ivins (Buchanan's 1992 speech at the GOP Convention)

On the subject of Pat Buchanan's famously combative "culture war speech" at the 1992 Republican Convention, which attracted controversy over Buchanan's aggressive rhetoric against Bill Clinton, liberals, supporters of reproductive and gay rights, and for his comparison of American politics to religious warfare, Ivins famously quipped that the speech had "probably sounded better in the original German," noting the similarity between the concept of "culture war" and the Kulturkampf of Otto von Bismarck's Germany

40. As Mister Burns would say . . .

. . . Excellent work, Smithers.

[struggle4progress]

41. Who is the NRA Leadership? Grover Norquist (Board Member)

... In July 1985, Norquist attended a conference hosted by the National Student Federation (NSF) in Johannesburg, South Africa. The NSF supported apartheid in South Africa and was allied with the pro-apartheid South African Defense Force (SADF). The SADF enforced apartheid policies and fought in the Angolan Bush War to preserve discriminatory treatment of Africans ...

[Bolo Boffin]

42. Ah, yes, back when apartheid South Africa was something Norquist could get behind.

After all, the cash was flowing...

[Voice for Peace]

43. This fellow's ugly face has been on the front page long enough

[SleeplessinSoCal]

44. There's a slow growing movement in the GOP that may finally put him on the Funny Pages.

Where he belongs.

[Kalidurga]

45. Except

he isn't funny...

[SleeplessinSoCal]

52. I didn't want to say "obituaries". Seemed too Republican.

[Lars77]

46. The irony is of course that that is ultimately the kind of society they are advocating

[Sarah Ibarruri]

47. Are people born shitheads, or do they learn to be them? nt

[Madmiddle]

48. The burning question?

Why does Norquist get so much face time? Isn't he just an ordinary citizen? Apartheid was about rascism, Nazism was about extinguishing a race of people; also rascism. So what he has to say here is mostly about himself and the republicans in this country, it has nothing to do with collecting taxes from a billionaire that owes his fair share. Once again why does this dirt-slinger get so much face time?

[tonybgood]

49. If this is such a good idea, why doesn't Norquist do it!!!

The idea that you can have all the advantages of living in America but accept none of the responsibilities is what fuels this person. I say, renounce your citizenship Mr. Norquist if paying taxes is so heinous!!!

[TomClash]

50. When he was in the House

At various time, Schumer represented Williamsburg (pre-hipster) and Midwood, both of which were and are heavily jewish neighborhoods. So yeah they were voting for a Nazi.

I have problems with some of his policies - he's too close to Israel and Wall Street - but the man is a tireless champion of regular people and the Democratic Party. There is no issue too small for the guy, even though he's a U.S. Senator. I have supported him every time he ran.

Compare that to Grover Nordquist, apostle of greed and power, knight errant of would be kings and dictators.
