Democrats and the Nazi Card
Townhall.com ^ | November 24, 2016 | Larry Elder

Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., the odds-on favorite to become the Democratic National Committee's chairman, had a long association with the anti-Semitic Nation of Islam. He compared then-President George W. Bush and 9/11 to Adolf Hitler and the destruction of the Reichstag, the German parliament building: "9/11 is the juggernaut in American history and it allows ... it's almost like, you know, the Reichstag fire," Ellison said. "After the Reichstag was burned, they blamed the Communists for it, and it put the leader of that country (Hitler) in a position where he could basically have authority to do whatever he wanted."

Comparing Republicans to Nazis has long been a national pastime of the Democratic Party.

During the1964 Goldwater/Johnson presidential race, Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater accepted an invitation to visit an American military installation located in Bavaria, Germany. On "CBS Evening News," hosted by Walter Cronkite, correspondent Daniel Schorr said: "It is now clear that Sen. Goldwater's interview with Der Spiegel, with its hard line appealing to right-wing elements in Germany, was only the start of a move to link up with his opposite numbers in Germany." The reaction shot -- when the cameras returned to Cronkite -- showed the "most trusted man in America" gravely shaking his head. When Goldwater accepted the Republican nomination, Democratic California Gov. Pat Brown said, "The stench of fascism is in the air."

About Ronald Reagan, Steven F. Hayward, author of "The Age Of Reagan" wrote: "Liberals hated Reagan in the 1980s. Pure and simple. They used language that would make the most fervid anti-Obama rhetoric of the Tea Party seem like, well, a tea party. Democratic Rep. William Clay of Missouri charged that Reagan was 'trying to replace the Bill of Rights with fascist precepts lifted verbatim from Mein Kampf.'"

After Republicans took control of the House in the mid-'90s, Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., compared the newly conservative-controlled House to "the Duma and the Reichstag," referring to the legislature set up by Czar Nicholas II of Russia and the parliament of the German Weimar Republic that brought Hitler to power.

About President George W. Bush, billionaire Democratic contributor George Soros said, "(He displays the) supremacist ideology of Nazi Germany," and that his administration used rhetoric that echoes his childhood in occupied Hungary. "When I hear Bush say, 'You're either with us or against us,'" Soros said, "it reminds me of the Germans." He also said: "The (George W.) Bush administration and the Nazi and communist regimes all engaged in the politics of fear. ... Indeed, the Bush administration has been able to improve on the techniques used by the Nazi and communist propaganda machines."

Former Vice President Al Gore said: "(George W. Bush's) executive branch has made it a practice to try and control and intimidate news organizations, from PBS to CBS to Newsweek. ... And every day, they unleash squadrons of digital brown shirts to harass and hector any journalist who is critical of the President."

Actor/singer and activist Harry Belafonte, who marched with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., called Bush a racist. When asked whether the number and prominence of blacks in the Bush administration perhaps suggested a lack of racism, Belafonte said, "Hitler had a lot of Jews high up in the hierarchy of the Third Reich."

NAACP Chairman Julian Bond played the Nazi card several times. Speaking at historically black Fayetteville State University in North Carolina in 2006, Bond said, "The Republican Party would have the American flag and the swastika flying side by side."

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who dared to rein in excessive public employee compensation packages, received the full Nazi treatment. The hard-left blog Libcom.org posted in 2011: "Scott Walker is a fascist, perhaps not in the classical sense since he doesn't operate in the streets, but a fascist nonetheless. ... He is a fascist, for his program takes immediate and direct aim at (a sector of) the working class."

After the 2012 Republican National Convention, California Democratic Party Chairman John Burton said, "(Republicans) lie, and they don't care if people think they lie. As long as you lie, (Nazi propaganda minister) Joseph Goebbels -- the big lie -- you keep repeating it."

The chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party, Dick Harpootlian, in 2012, compared the state's Republican governor to Hitler's mistress. When told that the Republicans were holding a competing press conference at a NASCAR Hall of Fame basement studio, Harpootlian told the South Carolina delegation: "(Gov. Nikki Haley) was down in the bunker, a la Eva Braun."

If not the Nazi card, it's the race card or the sexist card or the homophobic card. This "I'm right; you're evil" brand of politics has a lot to do with why voters elected Donald Trump, rather than Hillary "basket of deplorables" Clinton, to serve as our next president.

Not having actually read "Mein Kampf", I can't verify this quote is from the book.

Fun fact, though: The word "kampf" translated into English means "struggle". Translated into Arabic, it would be "jihad".

I have read Mein Kampf and don’t remember that. But translations vary. A translation made for Middle Eastern readers might say that.

I think it has been established that Hitler did have a soft spot in his heart for islam.

As I understand it, the word "Iran" is Farsi for "Aryan".

Before WWII, Iran was known as Persia.

I don't know exactly when the name change came but it seems to me like it was sometime during Hitler's reign.

The D party was captured/ bought out in 2008 by Soroznazi and his islamonazi comrades to become their personal front group to impose a Nazi/islamonazi style dictatorship on America. Their control over the DNC continues because the D party voters haven’t found a way to break their party machine free (And some actually want to be turned into slaves of Islam/Nazi style dictators - and some others -amazingly - remain ignorant and still believe whatever manipulative lies they’re fed!)

Anti-semitic black Muslim Keith Ellison is the perfect DNC chair to lead the Dems in wandering the desert of the inner cities for 40 more years.

“Not having actually read “Mein Kampf””

You should read it. It’s a fascinating and brilliant work of propaganda, where the shine of a few profound truths are used to lend plausibility to a large amount of total bullshit. It’s a masterful work of propaganda that not even WaPo, NYT or the alphabet networks are able to achieve today, primarily because they all, fortunately, refuse to include ANY truth whatsoever in their propaganda, failing to understand what all good novelists understand, namely that to achieve believability in the fictional parts, the rest of the story world must absolutely mimic the veracity of what we believe our real world to be.

You should read it.

It's on my bucket list.

Along with The Origin of Species. As I understand it, Charles Darwin has some interesting thoughts on blacks.

“Along with The Origin of Species”

Even though short, I fond Origin of Species a tough read due to archaic language, poor writing, and lack of content.

The one thing of real interest is that Darwin said that the fossil record should show a very number of tiny intermediate transformations towards complexity, and if it didn’t, then his theory was incorrect.

It’s ironic that the leftists like the NAZI comparisons since they are funded by an actual NAZI.

George Soros won’t live forever though. I wonder if he’s leaving his money to his kids or another leftist-owned trust?

Bet that old Nazi War Criminal got a chub when he said that.

WE just need to re-take our language and culture - and start by using the term “Nazi” to refer to our very real socialist party: Democrats. They are domineering enough to make it stick...

Der Spiegel Turns on Obama
National Review Online ^ | June 13, 2012 | John Fund
Posted on 6/13/2012, 8:28:32 PM by neverdem

In July 2008, the leading German newsmagazine Der Spiegel couldn’t contain itself in its reporting on Barack Obama’s speech in Berlin. The coverage was rapturous.

“The people of Berlin experienced the full range of Barack Obama’s charisma on Thursday evening,” it enthused. “At times he was reserved, at others engaging. Sometimes combative, and also demanding.” Der Spiegel called him “the trans-Atlantic bridge builder” who wowed 200,000 Germans as he proved himself a “save the world orator” who would expunge the evils of the unpopular Bush administration.

My, how times have changed. This week — almost exactly four years later — Der Spiegel is back with a cover story featuring a glum and dejected Obama: “Sad,” the headline reads. “Obama’s Unlucky Presidency.”

The article inside notes that “Obama has not lived up to the high expectations Europeans had of him.” It reads like the kind of plaintive wail about lost opportunities we hear from American liberals.

Der Spiegel’s main source for its conclusions is a new global survey by the Pew Research Center showing approval of Obama’s policies has declined significantly, and especially in Germany: “Germans are disappointed in the U.S. president’s unilaterialism; his use of force, particularly drone strikes; his inaction with regard to the Israeli-Palestinian situation and his lack of effort in curbing climate change.” Still, nine of out of ten Germans want Obama reelected, which just goes to show how left-wing post–Cold War Germany has become and how bad Mitt Romney’s press has been in Deutschland...
