Only Leftists are allowed to make Nazi comparisons

From the parliament of the Australian State of New South Wales. (In Westminster parliaments, the whip is the man in charge of making sure that party members turn up for important votes).

"The state government's whip in the upper house, Peter Phelps, has been accused of likening scientists to Nazis in a speech to Parliament.

In an address attacking global warming, Dr Phelps said it should not be forgotten that "some of the strongest supporters of totalitarian regimes in the last century have been scientists". "We should not be so surprised that the contemporary science debate has become so debased," Dr Phelps said. "At the heart of many scientists - but not all scientists - lies the heart of a totalitarian planner."

Speaking in Parliament on Monday, Dr Phelps quoted an unidentified writer whom he described as "speaking about the rise of Nazism" and its similarity to "scientists agitating for a scientific organisation of society".

Dr Phelps then went on to say: "One can see them now, beavering away, alone, unknown, in their laboratories. "Now, through the great global warming swindle, they can influence policy, they can set agendas, they can reach into everyone's lives; they can, like Lenin, proclaim what must be done."

Dr Phelps last night denied he was likening scientists to Nazis. "This is not an issue of Nazism or Communism but an unhealthy relationship between scientists and governments that can lead to totalitarianism," Dr Phelps said.

He also compared Warmist scientists to Russian Communist scientists who supported Lenin but that was OK, apparently. Communists are good.

Bush=Nazi is OK but Warmist=Nazi is not, apparently. I guess Warmist=Nazi hits home more as Hitler was in fact a Greenie, whereas I doubt that anyone ever really believed that GWB was a Nazi
