This is how fast Democrats broke the new civility rules
I was going to write an opinion piece arguing that the Democrats were going to break the so-called “civility rules” faster than crap goes through a goose. But, I was wrong. It was even faster than I imagined happening.

In an extraordinary outburst on the House floor, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) invoked the Holocaust to attack Republicans on health care and compared rhetoric on the issue to the work of infamous Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.
“They say it's a government takeover of health care, a big lie just like Goebbels," Cohen said. "You say it enough, you repeat the lie, you repeat the lie, and eventually, people believe it. Like blood libel. That's the same kind of thing. And Congressman Cohen didn’t stop there.
