Quote of the Day: Nah, Right-Wingers aren’t crazy, they’re perfectly normal

“And if Hitler had won, should the world just get over it? Lincoln was the same sort if [sic] tyrant, and personally responsible for the deaths of over 800,000 Americans in a war that was unnecessary and unconstitutional.”

– North Carolina lawmaker Larry Pittman

From:  A Southern lawmaker called Lincoln a ‘tyrant’ and compared him to Hitler

Commentary by The Secular Jurist:  Let’s see, Abraham Lincoln was the same sort of tyrant as Adolf Hitler… sure, that makes sense to me!  Lincoln wasn’t assassinated either, that was a fake news story planted by the liberal media.  Lincoln actually lived, under an assumed name, until the age of 140.  If anyone perpetrated The Holocaust – which I’m sure Mr. Pittman doubts – then it must have been that Muslim beard-wearing, slave-loving Lincoln.  It is a known fact that a high-ranking Nazi official of extreme age, who used the name Abraham “The Tyrant” Horowitz, matched the physical characteristics of Lincoln.

There are otherwise intelligent and well-meaning Americans who insist on seeing sociopaths like Pittman as “normal” people who are not mentally ill.  He certainly looks like a nut-job to me;  and, worse yet, he holds a position of political power.
