Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) Compares GOP opposition to ObamaCARE to Nazis, the KKK

obamacare-its-to-die-forSenator Sheldon Whitehouse. Democrat, Rhode Island, appeared on CSPAN2 today, debating of course, ObamaCARE. In describing Republican opposition to the bill Senator WhiteHouse points us to the essay “The Paranoid Style in American Politics” (which is a 1964 rant about haters on the Right). And then the Senator goes on to spew this according to Dan at Sevens

“Tumbrels have rolled through taunting crowds. Broken glass has sparkled in darkened streets. Strange fruit has hung from southern trees.”

According to Sevens (linked above) and The Other McCain, the so called “strange fruits” phrase is comparing Republicans to lynchers. The broken glass refers to Nazis… tumbrils (wheelbarrows) In effect, Whitehouse says those against the bill are paranoid haters and then promptly tags those on the Right as Nazi lynchers who, by fighting against this big, government program, are causing people to die by the thousands in the streets. The sad irony in the Seantor’s camparsions are that the Senator was using the essay “The Paranoid Style in American Politics” (which is a 1964 rant about haters on the Right).

    I’m from RI and that guy makes me sick. Now he’s just showing everyone on the national stage he’s a complete idiot.
