London Mayor “Red Ken” Livingstone may have finally gone too far with his latest disgusting comments: Livingstone faces inquiry over Nazi jibe at Jew. (Hat tip: Mark.)

Ken Livingstone was facing a disciplinary inquiry last night after he refused to apologise for comparing a Jewish reporter to a Nazi prison guard.

The Board of Deputies of British Jews submitted an official complaint to the Standards Board for England, which - if upheld - could lead to Mr Livingstone being suspended or disqualified from office.

In a separate move, the London Assembly unanimously passed a motion censuring the mayor for the remarks he made last week to a reporter from the Evening Standard. Oliver Finegold had approached Mr Livingstone after a party held to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Chris Smith becoming the first MP to “come out” as a homosexual.

Mr Livingstone asked Finegold if he used to be a “German war criminal”. When told that Finegold was Jewish, and that he found the remark offensive, Mr Livingstone said he was like a “concentration camp guard” because he was just following orders.

At a meeting of the assembly, Mr Livingstone defended his behaviour by claiming that Associated Newspapers, publishers of the Evening Standard and the Daily Mail, had conducted a hate campaign against him ever since his time as the Left-wing leader of the Greater London Council in the 1980s.

With his voice shaking, Mr Livingstone said: “If I could, in anything I say, relieve any pain anyone feels, I would not hesitate to do it. But it would require me to be a liar.

“I could apologise but why should I say words I do not believe in my heart? Therefore I cannot. If that is something people find they cannot accept, I am sorry, but this is how I feel after nearly a quarter of a century of their behaviour and tactics.”

Note the incredibly common behavior patterns of the leftist lunatic; they give themselves permission to spew the foulest hate speech, but criticize them and they instantly scream “You’re victimizing me! Wa-aaahh!”
