Former U.S. Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Janet Reno couldn't even walk through the front door of the South County Civic Center Wednesday without being swarmed by admirers.
"We should be more organized than the Republicans who have traditionally out-organized us," Reno told the audience of about 60 people.
One part of Reno's speech, which touched upon issues such as classroom sizes, health care and the criminal justice system, seemed to speak directly to (audience member Janet) Goldfarb. Reno spoke about visiting the Dachau concentration camp in Germany as a child and learning what had happened.
"I went back and asked my adult German friends, 'How could you let that happen?' " Reno said. "They said, 'We just stood by.' "
She looked right into the audience and told them that's why she was there. She had no intention of just standing by.
"And don't you just stand by," Reno said.
She sees parallels between Republicans and Dachau? This would be a great stump speech to deliver in Waco, Texas.
