You know what’s worse than a Democrat / Liberal bringing up Hitler incessantly?

A Republican doing the same, seeing as Republicans are regularly called fascists and nazis, and compared to Hitler.

From Factcheck.org:

Rosenbluth states that “Tim Kaine says that Adolf Hitler doesn’t qualify for the death penalty.”

The Kilgore campaign says that this refers to a Sept. 19 interview with the editorial board of the Richmond Times-Dispatch newspaper. But an audio recording of that interview shows Kaine didn’t actually say what the ad claims. In fact, at one point he said Hitler and two other genocidal dictators “may deserve the death penalty” for their heinous acts.

The interviewers were questioning Kaine on what has become a central issue in the campaign. Kaine has a long history of opposition to the death penalty – and also abortion – on grounds that his Roman Catholic faith teaches that human life is sacred. That’s not a popular position in Virginia, which has executed more prisoners than any other state save Texas.

But Kaine has said that he will carry out executions if elected. He appears in one of his own ads, saying “I take my oath of office seriously, and I’ll enforce the death penalty.” In another ad, Kaine says “I’ll enforce death sentences handed down by Virginia juries because that’s the law.”

You know, you would think that after all the rightwingers in the country having meltdowns over being compared to Hitler and fascists, Republicans would stop bringing up Hitler. Period. In this case, Kilgore’s campaign brings up something his opponent never even said!

And they wonder why voter turnout is so low. Stupid politicians on both sides have basically given up discussing issues. It’s one thing to attack the leadership of a candidate or the candidate’s past actions, but this is just downright stupid.
