' WV-Sen: You know what anti-smoking laws are like? They are JUST LIKE HITLER. So says John Raese, the Republican candidate for Senate in West Virginia:

I don't want government telling me what I can do and what I can't do because I'm an American. But in Monongalia County you can't smoke a cigarette, you can't smoke a cigar, you can't do anything. And I oppose that because I believe in everybody's individual freedoms and everybody's individual rights to do what they want to do and I'm a conservative and that's the way that goes.

But in Monongalia County now, I have to put a huge sticker on my buildings to say this is a smoke free environment. This is brought to you by the government of Monongalia County. Okay?

Remember Hitler used to put Star of David on everybody's lapel, remember that? Same thing.

You know, I don't think Hitler did that to everybody, now that I think about it.
