Y’all, Louie Gohmert sat in the United States congress and announced that Democrats are just like Nazis because they both are socialist.

No, I am not freeking kidding.

When several Democrats sought to set him straight about the difference between genuine socialists and National Socialist German Workers’ Party — known as Nazis — Gohmert insisted that he was correct.

“I’m sorry — we need to do everything we can to avoid another Holocaust,” he said, but “they were the National Socialist Party. It’s what they were. … They claimed to be socialists, and they were.”

Well, there’s a big ole bag of nope.

Louie went to Texas A&M University and I believe that A&M needs to be alerted to the deficiencies of their political science departments.  Or, oh hell, their thinking department.

Several other congress folks tried to school Louie on the differences between socialism, fascism, nazis, and communists but Louie ain’t hearing it.  Louie quit giving town halls after Gabby Giffords was shot because he was self-convinced that somebody would shoot him. I think he’s still not giving town halls. He’s that confused.

Oh well, at least he doesn’t think Democrats are all still in the Muslim Brotherhood. I guess that’s a little progress.
