TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - A New Jersey assemblyman is calling on a union leader to resign for comparing Republican Gov. Chris Christie to Adolf Hitler during a Statehouse rally.

Communications Workers of America vice president Chris Shelton referred Thursday to the governor as "Adolf Christie" and to Democratic leaders of the Legislature as Nazi generals.

Shelton addressed 3,500 union members in Trenton protesting legislation supported by Christie and the Legislature's Democratic leadership. The legislation would require public employees to pick up a larger portion of their pension and health benefits costs.

Republican Assemblyman Jon Bramnick wants Shelton to resign.

CWA political director Bob Master says Shelton has apologized and the decision on whether he continues in his role is up to the union members who elect him.

1. Seems that the GOP M.O. is to deplete democrats one at a time for any

imagined infraction.

2. No shit.

3. Yeah, but it doesn't work....

If we don't go along with it.

The problem is there are far too many on "our side" who are happy to play along.

5. Get over it. How many Teabaggers and Republicans carry

signs featuring Obama as Hitler. Socialist Communist?

No Republicans called them on it.

8. Well, I will not be surprised when Democratic Party officials ...

and the supporters of establishment democrats start to join the chorus to ask for the resignation of Union boss because it is distracting from the Democratic Party messaging. Then I will see some DU'ers join the chorus as well because the Union boss has no decency is using that kind of language in the political sphere that liberals are trying to clean up. That is the way this things happen in recent times - in my world!

9. Never apologize
