DEMAND TO KNOW WHY REPUBLICAN HOPEFULS DID NOT SPEAK OUT
Rants, Northey, Behn and others attend event where Dems compared to the Nazi Party

Des Moines, IA – Do Republican Gubernatorial hopefuls think Democrats are like the Nazis? The Boone News Republican reported that last Monday Ed Failor, of Iowans for Tax Relief, likened efforts by Democrats to save our economy to the rise of the Nazi Party. Many Republican candidates for Governor attended the event.

Ridiculously, Mr. Failor claims that he was not comparing Democrats to Nazis, but any fair person can see otherwise:

‘Failor, while making sure to clarify that he was not referring to the democrats as Nazis, did draw the comparison between the two. He said that the Nazi party, which started as just another political party in Germany, began their massive rise to power by taking control of private business and means of production – which is exactly what Failor said the Democrats are attempting to do.’ – Boone News Republican 6/18/09

Said Michael Kiernan, Chair of the Iowa Democratic Party,

“Those thoughts are hateful — to veterans of the Second World War who fought on D-Day, to people of the Jewish faith, and in fact to any decent person. I am asking the newest candidate for Governor, Chris Rants, and all the prospective Republican candidates’ two questions: First, do you agree with Ed Failor’s hateful words? And second, if not, why didn’t you speak up?”
