Republican Birdbrain: Rand Paul LIKENS Obama Exec Action To Japanese Internment Camp Order

[Segami]

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) likened President Barack Obama's decision to take executive action on immigration to then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt's executive order authorizing putting Japanese-Americans in internment camps during World War II. Paul made the comments on Friday, a day after Obama formally announced the executive actions, at the Kentucky Association of Counties conference in Lexington, Kentucky.

"...I care that too much power gets in one place. Why? Because there are instances in our history where we allow power to gravitate toward one person and that one person then makes decisions that really are egregious," Paul said. "Think of what happened in World War II where they made the decision. The president issued an executive order. He said to Japanese people 'we're going to put you in a camp. We're going to take away all your rights and liberties and we're going to intern you in a camp..."

"..We shouldn't allow that much power to gravitate to one individual. We need to separate the power..."

The video of Paul's comments were clipped by the Democratic-leaning opposition research shop American Bridge.

Yeah ... The Executive Orders are exactly alike; all but for the whole internment Executive Order imprisoned a bunch of folks and the immigration Executive Order frees a bunch of folks. Other than that ... they're exactly the same!

12. Hey, at least it proves the Turd Way can do something-feed lame talking points to a fake libertarian

He picked up the lame talking point as is running with it but as a dumbass attack on Obama rather than a dumbass defense for him blowing banksters.

14. "...In actuality, President Obama did the opposite..

"...of putting people in an interment camp, and this is what makes Paul’s comments so troubling. Is it that he doesn’t understand what being an internment camp really is, or he doesn’t understand the realities regarding Congress not providing enough funding to deport everyone, or he doesn’t understand the need to act with compassion but also respect for the law?

Speaking of abuse of power, it was Rand Paul who told a group of Tea Partiers, “I think the first executive order that I would issue would be to repeal all previous executive orders.” Oh, so that’s totally not a dictator move. He’s just going to erase everyone else’s input from the beginning of our country. That’s over 10,00 executive orders that Rand Paul thinks should be just wiped out. As in, he is planning to put tons of power in his own hands should he get elected. He thinks he should have more power collectively than these other presidents each had. This is what makes Rand Paul an empty suit. Some of the things he says make sense, until you look under the hood and see how craven and unprincipled his stands really are..."

15. THE BIG LIE

The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously."

Increasingly common these days.
