Someone Get Bob Schaffer A History Book

Bob Schaffer needs a little lesson in American history. Or maybe just a lesson in political ideologies.

Michael Roberts of Westword has the story:

Republican senatorial candidate Bob Schaffer needs a game-changer right now, given the size of Democratic opponent Mark Udall’s lead in most polls. So why not imply that liberals wanted to mollycoddle the Third Reich? That’s the apparent strategy behind his comments in the following video clip, in which Schaffer tells a voter that had left-wingers’ nefarious plot succeeded, we would all be “speaking German right now.” [rsb emphasis]

Maybe someone should let Bob know that it was the conservatives clamoring for isolationist policies in the lead up to World War II. If it hadn’t been for those “whining liberals” we might have let Hitler and the Axis completely crush Europe before we got involved. By then it would have been too late–and then we really might have been breaking out the lederhosen and brushing up on our Wagner operas.
