Alan West compares democrats to Nazis. [View all]

Glenn Beck should sue him for stealing his shtik.

“If Joseph Goebbels was around, he'd be very proud of the Democrat Party because they have an incredible propaganda machine,” West said on Capitol Hill Thursday, quoted by Politico. “I think that you have, and let's be honest, you know, some of the people in the media are complicit in this, in enabling them to get that type of message out.”

“Don't start taking my words and twisting it around. I'm talking about propaganda. And I think that's a very important thing,” West continued.

Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-Queens) demanded Friday that West apologize immediately.
