"HEINOUS and HURTFUL" Rabbi Susan Talve says Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder's comments comparing Sam Page's political attacks to a Nazi propaganda machine were "hurtful and unacceptable."

"That's the Goebbels' Hitler . . . Big Lie, Big Lie," Kinder said on Monday in response to a question about a recent Page television ad.

RABBI'S FULL STATEMENT:
"The comments made by Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder this week were hurtful and unacceptable. It is disgraceful to compare Rep. Page's commercial to the Nazi propaganda machine that led to the genocide of the Jewish people. In comparing Page to the architect of Hitler's "Big Lie" technique, Lt. Gov. Kinder crossed a line that should never even be approached. Lt. Gov. Kinder should rescind his statement and issue an apology for his heinous comparison," said Rabbi Susan Talve in a statement Wednesday.

Sam Page said the comment had no place in a political campaign. Rabbi Susan Talve is the founding rabbi of Central Reform Congregation in St. Louis.

This post from Political Fix says it all. Rabbi Talvi isn't consistent in her views or objections of what is heinous etc.
The poster asked why Jo Mannies didn't reference the youtube link to remind people about Durbin. Wonder why Dave didn't either?
"Rabbi Talve:
I don’t recall your ‘outrage’ when Sen. Dick Durbin Compered U.S. Troops to Nazi’s, the Soviets, & Pol Pot

Rabbi, I don’t recall your speaking out over the last 8 YEARS when George Bush was almost daily compered to Nazis.
Rabbi, after your silence these last 8 YEARS you have forfeited any moral authority you might have had.
and Jo: Why is it that you didn’t bring up the Durbin link at the very least?
