tion on Comparing
Scott Walker to Hitler
By Jim Geraghty
Posted on February 28, 2011 7:40 AM
How hard is it for Richard Trumka, head of the AFL-CIO,
to say, “No, as much as I disagree with him, oppose his
agenda, and wish he were not in office, Scott Walker is
not Hitler”?
It’s too much to ask, apparently. From Meet the Press:
MR. GREGORY: I want to, I want to get to a
break. Richard Trumka , I want to ask you one thing,
again, about the tone of the debate . You’re one of the
leading labor voices in the country . Do you condemn the
hyperbole, the overstatements, comparisons to Hitler and
dictators? Do you think that’s wrong on the part of pro-
union supporters?
MR. TRUMKA: We want to — I — look, we ought to —
pro, anti- union , it doesn’t matter.
MR. GREGORY: It’s inappropriate.
MR. TRUMKA: We should be sitting down trying to cre-
ate jobs. When — and look, if you think that the argument
that you’re doing in Wisconsin is winning, as you
said, Kim , the polls show that every – Wisconsin , vast
majority of the people think this governor has over-
reached. His popularity has gone down. They’re saying to
him, “Sit down and negotiate. Don’t do what you’ve been
doing.” So he’s losing. If that’s the argument you’re go-
ing to do this year or next year, it’s a loser for, for any-
body who advocates it.
Boy, that post-Tucson new tone of civility is fantastic,
isn’t it?
