REPUBLICAN or should I say Repugnant State Senator Stacy
Campfield of Knoxville, Tennessee posted on May 5th his “Thought of
the Day”:
“Democrats
bragging about the number of mandatory sign ups for Obamacare is like Germans
bragging about the number of manditory [sic] sign ups for ‘train rides’ for
Jews in the 40s."
Mr. Campfield you owe my grandparents an apology, you see
they were "transported east" in 1942 to Riga, Latvia and then along
with about 3,740 German, Austrian, and Czech Jews were taken to mass graves in
the woods north of Riga and machine gunned to death. Mr. Campfield they didn't
board that train willingly they were taken to it, put in a cattle car and
shipped in the dead of winter to Riga, when they arrived they were marched to
Jungfernhof concentration camp and about a month later marched into the woods.
Actually I think you owe 6 million people an apology.
Unfortunately they can't hear you.
BTW- even the Republican leadership in Tennessee could take
his latest outrageous and insensitive statements. The GOP state chairman’s
statement deserves to be read in its entirely:
"While Stacey Campfield routinely makes remarks that are over the
top, today's comments are ignorant and repugnant. No political or policy
disagreement should ever be compared to the suffering endured by an entire
generation of people. Those comments have no place in our public discourse. He
should offer an apology to members of the Jewish faith immediately."
This man needs to be driven out of office and hopefully
someone in the State of Tennessee will take him on in the next election.
