AZ Gov Jan Brewer says her Father died fighting Nazis. Problem? He Didn't

Because they can't see with their right wing blinders on.

booo hoooo mamabeartoamodmoron.. is she "hitler's daughter"? or was it a lie?

Willow, if someone called her Hitler's daughter than that is bad. Those people who did it were liars. Can you link to the posts to the people who said it? Was it on a blog, or a message board? If so, then I will go yell at them too, because that's a terrible thing to say about someone, no matter what your political beliefs.

Maggie's Notebook: Dallas Rally Depicts Jan Brewer as Hitler's Daughter

This blog site shows a picture of a poster at a Dallas rally.

UK Wired News - Protests across US over Arizona immigration law

"The BBC's Rajesh Mirchandani, at the rally, says there were banners calling for a boycott of Arizona, and even one portraying the state's governor, Jan Brewer, as Hitler."

I'm going to guess that these rallies are what Governor Brewer was referring to.
 
Her father died because he worked in a factory before it was known that asbestos was dangerous. This happened to many people. It's awful that it happened, but the people weren't noble or courageous for working in a factory. They had no idea there was a risk, nor did anyone else back in the 1940s. The guy was just doing the ordinary thing and trying to earn a living. He was probably glad to have a decent job after living through the Great Depression.

He didn't 'die fighting the Nazis in Germany'. :rolleyes:

Nor did she say that. Get the quote right.
 
Embellishment? Perhaps.
Lie? Hardly

And in her defense losing a father at age 11 is tough. Families tend to make martyrs out of parents who die young. That may have been a tale she was raised on. Much ado about nothing in my opinion.

Defending ridiculous Nazi accusations makes people angry. It shouldn't be dignified with a response. The whole Godwin shit is getting way old.
 
Hmmmmm. I'm seeing a comparison between this and the 'Selma got me born' quote from the messiah. Just sayin'. One reads these things with partisan eyes.
 
There is nothing worse than people using the military to gain any kind of points. This woman is a pos. She is spitting on every vet and every active duty person out there.

and what's your opinion of that shitbag who never fought in Viet Nam but claimed he did.

Except that she didn't.... Oh, and equally offensive to most normal people are those who make racist remarks while hiding behind a username on a message board. That's you, "Zona". You have no right to call others a POS when you are every bit as vile as those you seek to label as such.
 
My father fought in world war II then died when he was 80. Did he die fighting the nazis?

You decide..

If she had claimed that he 'died fighting the Nazis', it would have been a lie. She did NOT say that, Sarah. Read what she actually said.

And, if you defend Obama's 'Selma got me born' remark, then please don't be so hypocritical as to disparage Brewer.

You're not a partisan fool, Sarah... read what she actually said. It's clear that she believes (and I have no evidence to know one way or the other) that her father died due to his work in a munitions factory.... Lots of people died of illnesses related to breathing in asbestos which was used in those factories... He was working for the war effort - making the munitions to be used by US troops fighting the Nazis in Germany. He was part of the war effort, he died of a related illness.... he died because of his work. She is right.

"Selma got me born". That's an absolute, clear, total ******* lie and yet the left argue till their out of breath that he didn't mean it the way it was said.

This is one of those times when both sides are too ******* partisan to see logic.

I'll decide when I see a video of her saying this....otherwise it's just in print...and print can be a total lie.

Amazing how everyone that bucks the Dems fall under this kind of attack.

If she really said it shame on her......but I don't believe it because after all of the lies coming out of the internet this doesn't convince me.

Notice that not one word is being said in the MSM about this.....so it's merely an internet thing.

Just because she misspoke, doesn't mean she did not say it. There have been many attacks on Democrats from the president on down because of misstatements on one issue or another and she needs to just suck it up.

That's politics baby..

She didn't 'misspeak'. When I read what she said, I understood exactly what she meant. Her dad died because of his work for the war effort. It's partisan hacks looking for stones to throw at someone because of her politics.

That's stupidity, baby.
 
She was obviously embellishing.
She wasn't lying.
She had a point about baselessly being compared to Nazi's all the time.
Newt Gingrich and Glenn Beck should take her words into consideration.

Well, I don't see how it's technically a lie, is all.

She most definitely embellished.....but the difference between an embellishment and a lie is a subtle one, but alas a difference. I just like keeping things, you know, truthful.

If you are sweating in a factory making bullets which go on in their lives to kill Nazi's, an EMBELLISHED argument could be made that you're fighting towards killing them. It's not a lie, but it's quite an embellishment. Just my two cents.
 
15th post
I'll also add that it is a distasteful embellishment ..... in-that he wasn't knowingly risking his life to do what he was doing -->but our soldiers on the front lines were.

That he died due to factory conditions doesn't make him noble, unless those conditions were known at the time to have these medical effects.
