"The Nazi comments...they are awful. Knowing that my father died fighting the Nazi regime in Germany, that I lost him when I was 11 because of that...and then to have them call me Hitler's daughter. It hurts. It's ugliness beyond anything I've ever experienced."
-Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, on critics comparing Arizona's "show me your papers" law to Nazi Germany. Brewer's father, as it turns out, served stateside during World War II as a civilian supervisor for a naval munitions depot in Hawthorne, Nevada, and died of lung disease in 1955 in California.
