What About The Silence From The Democrats? By Lorie Byrd PoliPundit.com On Steve Malzberg’s radio show Monday, Charles Rangel compared U.S. actions in Iraq to the Holocaust . <<< “It’s the biggest fraud ever committed on the people of this country,” Rangel told WWRL Radio’s Steve Malzberg and Karen Hunter. “This is just as bad as six million Jews being killed. The whole world knew it and they were quiet about it, because it wasn’t their ox that was being gored.” … …Asked to clarify his Holocaust comparison, Rangel told Malzberg: “I am saying that people’s silence when they know terrible things are happening is the same thing as the Holocaust, where everyone would have me believe that no one knew those Jews were killed over there.” >>> First thing, I am not shocked by the Holocaust comparison one bit. After all, Hitler was responsible for the Holocaust and Democrats have been comparing Bush to Hitler for years now. They just haven’t been quite this specific before this. Actually it would be a good thing if more were asked to clarify those embarrassing Hitler comparisons. I wonder if it occurred to Rangel that his question about what the world knew and his comments about those remaining silent could much more appropriately be applied to those who ignored what Saddam had been doing for so many years. Did Democrats know about Saddam’s human rights abuses and his pursuit of weapons forbidden under UN resolutions? They must have, or they would never have voted to support President Clinton’s policy of regime change in 1998. Did they know that Saddam was stealing billions from the Oil-for-Food program and was using the money to build dozens of lavish palaces? Did they know that Saddam was paying the families of suicide bombers and that he was harboring terrorists? Did they know that he was imprisoning the children of those who disagreed with him? Did they know that he was ordering the torture and murder of Iraqi citizens in a systematic way in prisons and torture chambers and rape rooms using methods which included throwing them off of buildings and into shredders and into packs of hungry dogs? Did they know that under Saddam, naked prisoners had been stacked in pyramids and photographed with hoods over their heads? Oh yeah, he didn’t do that. If he had done that, maybe Democrats would have broken their silence.
