Laura Ingram paraphrases Holocaust poem: They came for the rich

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Jon Stewart took on the most recent Tea Party protests last night. And while much as been made of the crowd itself, Stewart was quick to point out that the speakers were just as over-the-top as the rowdy masses.

Steve Lonegan, state director for Americans For Prosperity, tried to echo the sentiments of the crowd, exclaiming that "we cannot allow the pen to become mightier than the sword." Stewart knocked Lonegan for the statement, saying that the pen being mightier than the sword is "only the basis for our civilization."

But the speaker taking the cake was Laura Ingraham. The radio personality paraphrased a famous Holocaust poem, "First They Came, " in an attempt to make an analogy to her stance against health care reform. Her evocation of the Nazis was a tad hyperbolic in the eyes of Stewart, who seemed to doubt that Ingraham recognized that "came for" was a euphemism for "round up and kill."

Stewart closed by making a pledge to Ingraham:

"If the government begins to round up and kill the rich and the landowning and those who choose to exercise the right to bear arms...I'll speak up."

Who is limiting it to talk radio, come on, don't just limit yourself to negative attacks on others, share who is Good!

For instance, There are a number of columnists/ writers I like to read on occasion who often hold views contrary to mine, one I read today was Juan Williams.

Alan Colmes. I'm talking about his radio show, not his lame attempt at a TV show with Hannity. He was pretty soft-spoken on TV, but he's incredibly entertaining on the radio.

He's a funny liberal. I listen to him sometimes. I love to listen to the callers being made fools by Alan.

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist;

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist;

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew;

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak out for me.

niemoller was more than just a "pastor". he was quite a public figure, and had several open conflicts with the nazi party in it's rise to power. speer writes about this in detail in his autobio.

Mike Hunt gets his opinions from a higher power, his ego.
