Letter: Analogy disrespectful

The Columbian
Published: April 25, 2012, 5:00pm

I am shocked that, in his April 14 letter, “Beware the ‘real’ death panel,” James M. Davidson compared United States Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler’s recent mailing on Medicare to the methods of the Nazi death panels. This kind of dangerous talk is what President Obama spoke against after Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords was shot in Arizona.

I know many people who disagree with Herrera Beutler but they are respectable, law-abiding Americans. None of them would politically denigrate a U.S. congresswoman and compare her record to the Nazi Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels. Davidson’s death talk is deplorable.
