Arkansas Politics Republican State Rep. Nate Bell quotes Hitler
Posted by Max Brantley on Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 9:47 AM
You can get a look at his legislative history here.

PPS — Nate Bell defends Hitler citation. He figures, see, that it is Hitlerian to want government to help children like liberals do because, well, somehow some rights will be lost in the process. He hasn't enumerated any just yet, however. He's from the Twilight Zone of the Republican Party, apparently (Mark Martin, prop.)

There were 20 innocent children and 5 other adults also murdered that day. /more/
