Martin Harty resigned from the NH House last week after his remarks to a constituent about sending defectives to Siberia to freeze to death.
He should have just left it there. Instead, he penned a Palinesque letter to the Monitor, to explain that he's the actual victim:
We talked about the population explosion and the fact that some of these things might come true when the food and water was pushed to the limit, years from now. She asked me leading questions, which I answered as crazily as I could. So she said "You're a lot like Hitler," or something like that. I tried to say "He wasn't all bad - the Autobahn and the Volkswagen."
That got broken off as she asked, "What can we do with these people?" or something like that.
I replied with that which got me in a lot of trouble: "We could rent some land in Siberia from Russia and send them all up there."
She said, "You're just like Hitler" and then hung up.
and then this little gem:
So I thought, "Well, that's that," not realizing that she was a political activist and got her week's pay from the money we were talking about. Omand right off started to spread all this foolishness around with the politicos.
He said it, but it's her fault. The party of personal responsibility never can take any for themselves.
