Tennessee state senator compares signing up for Obamacare to Nazi ‘train rides for Jews’ [View all]

Tennessee state Senator Stacey Campfield is coming under bipartisan fire for his “Thought of the Day” post on his blog.

“Democrats bragging about the number of mandatory sign ups for Obamacare is like Germans bragging about the number of manditory [sic] sign ups for ‘train rides’ for Jews in the 40s,” he wrote today.

Tennessee Democratic Party Chairman Roy Herron responded in a statement that “Senator Campfield’s blog post this morning is just the latest example of Tea Party Republican extremism. To compare attempts to save American lives through access to healthcare with Nazis killing European Jews is outrageous, pathetic, and hateful.”

“Sen. Campfield and other Tea Party Republicans,” he continued, “ought to look at the 5,000 Tennesseans who will die within the next 3 years because Tea Party Republicans refused to take the 100% federal funding to expand Medicaid and have denied working Tennesseans access to healthcare.”
