Jim Bob Duggar Compares US To Nazi Germany During The Holocaust

Reality TV star Jim Bob Duggar spent most of his speech at the Values Voter Summit imploring attendees to run for office, just like he did, in order to advance social conservative causes like an “army.”

Duggar ended the address by retelling a story about a time when Mike Huckabee and his daughter visited a concentration camp, which he used to compare the current state of the US to Nazi Germany.

“As they were walking out of that concentration camp, he said little Sarah looked up at him and she said, ‘Daddy why didn’t somebody do something?’ You know what, that’s where we are at in our nation,” Duggar said. “Do we want our children, when we’re going to tell them about how great America was, they’re going to look at you and say, ‘Why didn’t somebody do something?’”

Duggar’s son Josh is the executive director of Family Research Council Action, which will be sponsoring a Duggar family tour of Virginia to campaign on behalf of Ken Cuccinelli and E.W. Jackson, and one of the summit’s emcees.

People like that used to be laughed at and publicly shamed by most everyone, now they get invited to blather hate from a podium and get applauded by the clueless.

Or maybe he's just a schtupping fool -- the kind who makes everyone want to lock up their husbands, wives, sons, daughters, pets, ornamental fruit, and knotty pine cabinetry (the small, adorable, fuzzy woodland creatures are on their own).

This man got rich and famous by repeatedly scronking and impregnating his wife until her womb drags on the floor behind her, and he's still not happy? He thinks there's something wrong with the rest of us??

If there's any comparison to the Nazis it's that the tea baggers are like the Nazis just before Kristalnacht.

It was Republican Isolationists that froze our ability to react to the Nazis in Europe...primarily because people like Senator Prescott Bush had too much money to be made by supporting the Nazi's (via Union Bank) and betting against US early intervention. Amazing that we've withstood the treasonous activities of the Bush/Republican Party for 60+ years.

Some day people will be sitting in the ruins of what was once America, and they'll ask why we kept electing Republicans knowing they were destroying our country.
