In first Senate Speech Tehran Tom Cotton, in the first minute, brings up Hitler.

snip:

WASHINGTON -- It's hard to believe freshman Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) caused such a stir in the Senate with his letter to Iran even before his maiden floor speech. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who led an unsuccessful fight against Obamacare, couldn't even do that.

But Cotton -- now famous for orchestrating the controversial letter to Iran with the signatures of 46 of his GOP colleagues -- finally got the chance to do just that on Monday evening. Cotton began, as one does, with Adolf Hitler.

I guess Harvard Law never covered Godwin's Law. Rethugs are scammers and fear merchants. Unfortunately, people are now probably uncovering their vintage fallout shelters and remodeling them with duct tape and plastic sheets--the Shrub redo.

Less than 100,000 in Iowa and New Hampshire evangelical, Fox addled religious zealots are in control of the political policies of Congress, and all it's ambitious Chosen by Jesus men who will pretend to be stupid and angry - just as the voters they lust for are. These men are NOT stupid, they are intelligent as you can get, but they are corrupted...corrupted by power lust and religion and the worship of the Golden Calf.

Fucked up political system is making the whole nation stupid. Clerics are in control of power of major political power in America just as clerics in Iran and Saudi are in control of major power. Equally fucked up systems.

That is the truth, straight from Obama, translated.

His reference to Hitler and the fact that he even speaks the name is very telling as to who Tom Cotton is.

Its a slow, bit by bit introduction, as if to anesthetize the public to the reality of Traitor Tom.
