For John, BLUF: There are limits. Nothing to see here; just move along.
This item is from The Washington Free Beacon, via Fox News, by Reporter Adam Kredo. The title is "Dem Gov Wonders Whether Black Republicans Are Like Jewish Nazis". That would be Illinois Governor Pat Quinn.
Illinois Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn is in some hot water with the Jewish community after his campaign tweeted—and then quietly deleted—several messages urging backers to read an article comparing black Republican voters to Jews who collaborated with the Nazis.Is in some hot water? It should be a lot of hot water.
Some in the Chicago Jewish community say that they were outraged by Quinn’s support of the Nazi rhetoric, which was disseminated over Passover, the holiday marking the ancient Jewish people’s release from slavery.OK, so I can understand the outrage from the Jewish Community.
But, what about Black outrage over this idea that some Blacks are Nazis. This is suggesting that Black Republicans are the same as the Kapos or, while not so bad, the Sonderkommandos. Pretty low rent.
But, this logic leads to the badly flawed idea that all Republicans are Nazis.
Frankly, I need to see a lot more repudiation of Govern Quinn and his remarks, and not just from Jewish Groups.
Regards — Cliff
