Fifth Congressional District candidate Victor Forys reached for an extreme comparison in a recent press release attacking rival candidate Mike Quigley, Progress Illinois reports.
The Forys statement, which is meant to showcase the support of GOP Cook County Commissioner Tony Peraica, claims the supposed gap between Quigley's record and campaign rhetoric are tantamount to Nazi propaganda strategy.
From the release, as run on Polish News:
Cook County Commissioner Mike Quigley has sent out nearly 10 mail pieces showing Commissioner Quigley standing next to Commissioner Forest Claypool slamming Cook County Board President Todd Stroger.The Minister of Propaganda for Germany in World War II, said "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
"Commissioner Mike Quigley is telling a big lie, and he is repeating it over and over and over," said Dr. Victor Forys, M.D. "That is what you can expect from a career, recycled, politician like Cook County Commissioner Mike Quigley," said Dr. Victor Forys.
"He is cut from the same cloth as Roland Burris. He is a lot closer to Stroger than he has led voters to believe. He needs to come clean," said Dr. Victor Forys.
