Pat Roberts invokes 'national socialism'...in front WWII veteran BOB DOLE.



American Bridge 21 PAC recorded Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts at a campaign rally in Dodge City (where Roberts doesn't really own a home) asserting that the US is "headed for national socialism" under Obama...what's even worse, right next to former Sen. Bob Dole, a WWII veteran who fought real national socialists. More from Politico.

Wow. Roberts is so disgusting talking like that in front of somebody who actually knows what "national socialism" is.

Socialized corporations welfare,
Socialized risk liabilities,
Socialized low wages,
Socialized courts,
Socialized commons, for the rich only.

But extraordinary claims require extraordinary--or at least the tiniest shred of--evidence.

I would have walked out of that room - if anyone had invoked national socialism - or DEMANDED loudly that my helper was there to get me out of the rom - as fast as possible - and I would have given a rather stiff respond if anyone was asked why I was getting out of the room as fast as human possible..

But I guess Bob Dole is to much of a gentleman to do that - I think I am of a lesser polite degree than he is - specially if you invoke any form of nationalsosialism...
