Marco Rubio Plays The Nazi Card On Hillary Clinton
http://crooksandliars.com/2015/11/marco-rubio-plays-nazi-card-hillarySen. Marco Rubio proves yet again why he's not ready for primetime. We expect a lot of over the top rhetoric coming from the GOP primaries with the clown car in overdrive, but Rubio's use of the Nazi party to equate that to extremist jihads is so damn idiotic. The idea that the Democratic party has to use GOP talking points on anything - ever - especially related to terrorism is nonsense. And the fact that Fox News conservatives love the notion that Obama's weak on ISIS because he refuses to say "radical Islam," is quite sad and pitiful.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You saw Secretary Clinton there did not want to use the words “radical Islam,” your response?
RUBIO: I think that’s – I don’t understand it. That would be like saying we weren’t at war with Nazis, because we were afraid to offend some Germans who may have been members of the Nazi Party but weren’t violent themselves. We are at war with radical Islam, with an interpretation of Islam by a significant number of people around the world, who they believe now justifies them in killing those who don’t agree with their ideology. This is a clash of civilizations, and as I said at the debate earlier this week, there is no middle ground on this. Either they win or we win. And we need to begin to take this seriously. These are individuals motivated by their faith...
Never stops surprising me how low detractors of Hillary are willing to go.
