Perkins apologizes for ‘Kristallnacht’ comparison

Tom Perkins late Monday apologized for comparing the Occupy Wall Street movement to Nazis killing Jews during Kristallnacht.

Perkins made the claim in a Wall Street Journal editorial but said in a Bloomberg TV interview Kristallnacht was on his mind because the San Francisco Occupy protesters broke windows in the Wells Fargo Bank and in Silicon Valley car dealerships.
