The above photo is one of many that was spotted at the “House Call” rally hosted by Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann last week on the eve of the health care reform vote in the House of Representatives.
Elie Weisel is among those who wasn’t pleased:
Renowned author and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel condemned several signs containing Holocaust comparisons and anti-Semitic messages at yesterday’s “House Call” protests.
One sign at the rally contained images of dead Holocaust victims at the Dachau concentration camp under the banner “National Socialist Health Care.” Another sign said that President Barack Obama “takes his orders” from the Rothschilds, a family of Jewish bankers.
Wiesel commented through his eponymous foundation’s Twitter account:
Elie Wiesel on the GOP Tea Party’s anti-Semitism and Holocaust comparisons: “This kind of political hatred is indecent and disgusting”
It would be nice to hear Republicans say the same thing.

Yes, it is. We have devolved so far the last few years that I have a problem getting my head around it.
Did you see the report yesterday that high school kids in Britain believe that Hitler was a soccer coach and that Auschwitz was an amusement park?

I’ll make a deal with Weisel: when he spends a little time condemning the hateful rhetoric of the far Left — “Bush lied”; Conservatives “don’t care”; Republicans are “racists” because they don’t support reverse discrimination and because Klansmen sometimes express their support for Republican nominees — I’ll be happy to expend a little political energy and capital condemning those who recognize the true roots and nature of President Barry’s march to Socialism.

Called “nuts” by a moonbat?
High praise indeed.
