Idaho state senator: Obamacare just like the holocaust

Sheryl Nuxoll Rumor around the Gem State is that Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID) hates living in Washington, D.C. and hates being a congressperson, and is looking to return to Idaho to run for governor. In light of that, consider this an audition for his seat.

BOISE - As the debate over Idaho Gov. Butch Otter's proposed state health insurance exchange heats up, a North Idaho senator has sent out a mass email and posted a message on Twitter comparing the role of insurance companies to 'the Jews boarding the trains to concentration camps,' saying the federal government is using private insurers and in the future will 'pull the trigger' on them.

Sen. Sheryl Nuxoll, R-Cottonwood, defends her analogy. 'I just want people to hear the truth and to be aware that what is being presented before us is a socialistic program,' Nuxoll said Wednesday. 'There is no disrespect for any group or people with the analogy. ' I just want people to know the truth.'

Socialism, naziism, it's all the same, right? Nuxoll was last seen making the case that by boycotting the Electoral College, red states could hand the election to Mitt Romney. She'll fit right in with the Michele Bachman/Louis Gohmert/Steve King crowd. In fact, the House Republican caucus is probably the only place that would be as welcoming of a nut like Nuxoll as the Idaho legislature.
