He brought them in natzis completely tangential to an actual discussion. i think representative cohen is going to pull back from that. he s not pulling back now. finally at the end of all the torturous dialogue, he said he was right but wouldn t say it again. he would admit what he said didn t advance the cause of civility and he did admit that he didn t compare his republican colleagues to nazis, per se. but i understand the point he was trying to make. it s unfortunate how he made it. we can make the argument that republicans do try to try to dismiss the facts. but when you invoke nazis, it takes it to another level and gets in the way of the conversation. i have think he in retrospect he can look back and say he s not going to use it again. ....
Wouldn t have mentioned nazis. you said their statements on health care are the same lies that nazis told. i didn t say nazis. you said goebbels, the chief propagandist for the nazis. he was. you said the germans told lies about the jews and that led to the holocaust. you said they re doing the same thing that the nazis did. that s comparing them. i didn t intend to do that. i didn t think i did. he s the master political propagandist. he wrote a paper on it, he had rules. he s the major person. if you want to talk about political propaganda, the person you talk about in terms of the big lie was goebbels. so you re standing by this, you don t think it s inappropriate in any way? well, i think as far as a lie goes, and i ve been writing about lies in the political spectrum for the last two months. there was a show that said that the government was creating concentration camps, this was something on trutv. that s jesse ventura s ridiculous conspiracy theory show. that s j ....
Is going to pull back from that. because it really gets in the way of he s not pulling back now. finally at the end of all the torturous dialogue, he said he was right but wouldn t say it again. he would admit what he said does not advance the cause of civility and he did admit that he didn t compare his republican colleagues to nazis, per se. but i understand the point he was trying to make. it s unfortunate how he made it. we can make the argument that republicans do try to dismiss the facts. i ve made that argument here on your show. but when you invoke nazis, it takes it to another level and gets in the way of the conversation. i think he, in retrospect, he can look back and say he s not going to use it again. dana, had a republican said this about the democrats, i think this would have been a huge uproar on liberal blogs. ....
Said. i do disagree with comparing republicans to nazis. when you invoke that, you miss the conversation. when he s talking about how republicans dismiss, you know, the facts all the time, you know what? me taking my partisan hat off, part of the campaign tactic of whether you re republican, although i would say the republicans do it better, they take it to an art. but the ideal of muddying up the waters and sort of muddying up the facts in a way so that it blurs both sides for voters is an old-time campaign tactic that it happens on both sides. can we be critical of that? yes, and we should be critical of it. i think you run into problems when you start saying that s the same sort of thing that goebbels did. yeah, it s a pretty big jump. we ll leave it there, see if anyone speaks out about it tomorrow. dana bash, thanks. cornell, as well. is this an appropriate? what s going on. the live chat is up and running. up next, another bizarre political story. should pediatricians get thr ....
Last night, he denied he was trying to jail doctors for asking the question. is he still sticking by that story? we re keeping him honest, as well. and later, a possible new development in a 26-year-old missing child case. an 8-year-old girl who vanished grabbed off the street, her mom still agonizing every day over the details of that last day she saw her. now there could be a break in the case after all these years. we ll talk about it with john walsh. we begin, though, as we always do, keeping them honest. with a democratic congressman comparing republicans to nazis. remember all the talk of toning down the rhetoric, trying not to demonize one s political opponents. apparently, that was last week. the congressman is going to be here in a moment to explain himself. here s what happened. this is congressman steve cohen, a democrat from tennessee. last night on the eve of today s vote in the house to repeal president obama s health care reform, congressman cohen went on the house f ....
