The Donald Trump phenomenon has taught us many things. One of the most notable, the Democrats are absolutely off the rails when it comes to making historical comparisons and clearly they have no grasp whatsoever on the past.
The latest example comes from our favorite socialist Bernie Sanders who tried to make the insane comparison between the Holocaust, where six million Jews were executed by the government, to what is happening to Muslims today.
From Weasel Zippers via Washington Post:
In the midst of chastising Donald Trump on Saturday for showing intolerance toward Muslims, Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders told an audience here that some of his relatives died in the Holocaust as the result of “a lunatic … stirring up racial hatred.”
“On a personal note, some of you know I’m Jewish,” Sanders said during a town hall meeting here. “My father came to this country at the age of 17 from Poland. He came over, other people in his family did not come over. Those people died. Children died. … So that is in my heart, to see what a lunatic can do by stirring up racial hatred.”
Sanders’s apparent reference to Adolf Hitler directly followed his recollection of Trump’s controversial comments late last year about temporarily banning Muslims from entering the country.
So let me get this straight. The systematic murder of six million innocent people is similar to requesting a temporary halt on Muslim immigration until we can properly vet people who are coming in?
I can’t think of anything more disrespectful to what happened to the Jewish people than this.
It’s absolutely shameful that Bernie gets a pass for fear mongering hate speech like this.
You want to talk about the Holocaust? How about the actual genocide that Muslims are currently unleashing on Christians in the Middle East? Silence on that front from Bernie.

Andrew, you really hit the nail on the head with this one. The Dems are so afraid of Trump that they are using one of their oldest and most favorite tricks in the book… taking something he said in the past and completely twisting the words around into something they were not meant to say at all. And having this Jew compare that to the Holocaust? Wow, that takes pandering for votes to a new low. And we thought Hillary’s pandering was pathetic?
Lastly, you are right on your last paragraph. It still amazes me to this day that Obama, the so-called “Leader of the free world” and all of the Dem candidates (both of them) have remained completely silent on the attacks against Christians in the Middle East. No, they are all so much more worried about those poor transgenders in North Carolina not being able to use the restroom of their choice. Because we all know that someone who CHOSE to give up the sex they were assigned by way of genetics not being able to go use the bathroom of the sex they CHOSE to mimic is much more horrible than tens of thousands of people being slaughtered or forced from their homes under threat of being slaughtered because of their chosen religion.
