"If you could go back in time, would you have allowed Adolf Hitler to host the Olympics in Germany?... I'm not saying that Russia is Nazi Germany,"

 

 Graham added, "but I am saying that the Russian government is empowering some of the most evil, hateful people in the world."

 

 

 

Awesome he just linked Russia to Hitler. By the way Senator, Adolph Hitler attended the 1936 Olympics in Los Angeles. At the time the entire continent of Europe was concerned about Germany's policies and yet the US allowed him entrance and even promoted his appearance. Japan was on the verge of invading China and yet... 

 

 

Yeah, this happened because the politics of a nation, like segregation, anti-Semitism and imperialism, was ignored to promote the goodwill of the Olympics.

We attended the olympics in China.........

 

enough said.

It sounds like somebody wants to revive the Cold War.

If I dwell to long on the thought that these are the people who run this country (and to a lesser extent, the world) I get really depressed.

I wonder if the Nazis had secret courts and sophisticated programs to spy on their own population?

Now we see why most politicians have speech writers. This is the kind of stuff they come up with when they do it themselves.

Graham even suggested that Putin's actions should raise the specter of the pre-World War II Berlin games hosted by Adolf Hitler's regime.

 

Seriously? A country allowing one man to stay in a safe zone within their biggest airport is akin to a regime that executed millions of people based solely upon their religion? Somebody take this guy to lunch, because he is definitely out to it.

I see what you did there and it was very clever

Boy, our politicians sure are taking hard the news that they're doing all kinds of illegal things to us.
