Comparing protests against socialized medicine to historical evils

.

Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House: protesters are "carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare."

Rep. Brian Baird (D-Wash.) “What we're seeing right now is close to Brown Shirt tactics. I mean that very seriously.”

Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) "Well, the last time I had to confront something like this was when I voted for the civil rights bill and my opponent voted against it. At that time, we had a lot of Ku Klux Klan folks and white supremacists and folks in white sheets and other things running around causing trouble."

Rep. Brian Baird (D., Wash.) protests remind him of Timothy McVeigh
