Like blood libel. That&#8217;s the same kind of thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cohen continued to compare the GOP to Nazis as his rant went on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Germans said enough about the Jews and the people believed it and you had the Holocaust. You tell a lie over and over again. And we&#8217;ve heard on this floor, government takeover of health care. Politifact &#8212; non-partisan, Pulitzer prize-winning, 2009, St. Petersburg Times &#8212; said the biggest lie of 2010 was a government takeover of health care because there is no government takeover,&#8221; Cohen said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Talk about repeating a lie until it becomes the truth. I suppose the government writing regulations are requiring Americans to purchase something isn&#8217;t really government take over. I mean why would <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pnj.com\/article\/20110119\/NEWS01\/101190327\/1006\/RSS01\">26 States take the Federal government to court over it<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>But anyway, HuffPost readers seem to be torn over the proper reaction, which can be heartening, if most of the commenters weren&#8217;t cheering Cohen.
