Michael Kiernan, the chairman of the Iowa Democratic Party, is up in
arms over comments that Ed Failor Jr., the President of Iowans for Tax
Relief, made at a Flag Day event which was organized by the Boone
County Republican Party. At the event, Failor compared the current
economic actions and policies of the Democratic party to those of the
Nazi party in Germany in the 1930's. This isn't the first time that
Failor, Jr. has compared Iowa Democrats to Nazis. After the Speaker of
the Iowa House Pat Murphy removed the people from a public hearing on
the repeal of federal deductibility, Failor said that Murphy had acted
like a "jack-booted Nazi."
