McCain advised to avoid Nazis in VP choice

Well, that seems to me to be what Paul Ibrahim is hinting at in his column John McCain Needs a Conservative Choice for Vice President.

After quoting McCain's statement that "Americans want us to work together" when he floated the prospect of choosing Tom Ridge, a pro-choice politician, as his running mate, Ibrahim makes this sly comparison:

First of all, and this goes in parentheses, even though reaching across the aisle can be good when appropriate, there is nothing inherently good about "working together." Neville Chamberlain "worked together" with the Germans, and that didn´t turn out so hot.

Hmmmmm ... those who believe in a woman's right of choice on the matter of abortion are Nazis?

I would say you hit the nail square on the head. The right wingers are vigorously searching for something to call those of us who disagree with them, since "Communist" went out of style. They are using "Socialist" a lot, but it just isn't as sinister as "NAZI."

LOL, Ridge, a failure, I hope McCain DOES take him. Loser.

Diane, I too am kind of hoping McCain chooses Ridge to ensure a losing ticket. Don't know how likely, but it works for me.

GMM - Correct. The right-wing stock-in-trade.

Diane & Doug - This just doesn't seem likely to happen, appealing as it would be.
