Senate Candidate Peter Schiff Compares Campaign To Going Off To Fight Nazis In World War II

Agreed. Contributors can kiss their money goodbye.

The thing is, it's typical of the eliminationist mindset the Republicans have fallen into. They really don't think any party but them has the right to govern. To them, Democrats have no more right to govern the U.S. than the Nazis and must be responded to the say way. The irony being that that attitude underlies what disqualifes them as legitimate actors in a democracy.

And people are worried that Dodd will lose to this financial Indiana Jones or the Mud Wrestler. HA!

"I don't think that I'm that heroic, and I don't think I'm risking as much as a soldier. But it's the same principle."

No, he doesn't think, but at least he waited until the vast majority of WWII vets had passed away before comparing himself to them. Thankfully, my own grandmother is too old to read about this idiot putting himself in the same league with her four brothers who did go to fight the Nazis, and the one who didn't return.

Note to any vet who as served in a combat zone: Mr. Shiff conflates the personal jeopardy of his own political campaigning to your combat service.

To think this is the kind of candidate the Republicans are fielding.

Peter Schiff is a true American. This is the way our system should run. Politics should not be a career, we really need term-limits to be honest… Our representatives should be everyday people that work every day jobs, not people that have never work a REAL job in their lives (go straight from college to politics). How can we expect our representatives to represent us if they do not experience our experiences?

Peter Schiff is an economic realist that will hopefully bring back some financial sanity to our country.

Schiff for Senate!!

Peter Schiff is the type of guy needed to fix the current problems; he understands economics. First off, he doesn't support the wars, because the US can't afford them, and creating havoc economically. He never compared his courage to WWII soldiers, he just said that they were similar in that they were not career soldiers who actually left a occupation to fight in a war, because the war was just, like he isn't a career politician is going to be in politicians for the sake of being a politician, he finds needing to try to fix the economy from inside politics, and you are not going to find a more credible person on economic thought than Schiff himself. He is approaching politics as a economist. He is also criticized George W.Bush on many things. To say he is a typical republican, or even a politician is nonsense. I mean this guy always gets laughed at for being opposite on other's people's views on economics all the time in economic programs on TV, despite him being one of the most accurate on the economic crisis. Sorry to tell you democrats, but Obama isn't much any different from Bush. Infact Obama's policy are quite similar to Bush's economically, and foreign policy, heh, I don't see any significant changes in that department either. Peter Schiff is a classy guy. I support Schiff for senate.

Schiff NEVER compared himself to the WWII soldiers. All he said was that he planned on going in the senate to fix the problems and not to make a career as a politician. Unfortunately, so many people in our society can't even read (or don't bother to). Yeah, keep voting for Dodd and continue to screw-up this country.
It's too bad people don't even know the truth when it's written in black and white.

Peter Schiff is not a REPUBLICAN! If you knew anything about him you would know that he is running as a republican because he wouldn't stand a chance as a 3rd party. You can't just listen to one quote he makes and blow it out of proportion because he used the word "Nazi". Did you read the rest of the article? Have you ever watched any of his videos on youtube? Maybe you should because you would then understand the fundamentals of all the problems we are facing. I suppose you think the economy is getting better too...

If you are going to make an opinion based off one comment take some time and watch that speech. If you listen and understand what he says you might have the luxury of benefiting from the information provided by this great man.

Wow, you got all of that from his analogy that was referring to the temporary nature of his stint in office? Seems like a stretch.

I also see a lot of comments about Democracy, the United States is a Republic always has been (just read the Constitution). In practice our government has ignored the Constitution, and it's up to guys like Peter to get into office and restore the Republic for the benefit of ALL Americans, not special interests like corporations or the poor.

The statement needs context.

He is referring to the fact that he has been drafted to go to dc. He would be leaving a life and career in the private sector, to serve his country.

This is not a reference to democrats being equal to the nazi regime. People familiar with schiff realize that he has, and continues to, openly criticized policy and not the party.

Personally, I am a liberal, but I am not affiliated with any party. I support schiff for senate because he understands how the economic and monetary policies of bush/obama will lead this country to ruin.
