I remember when some old remnants from George Lincoln Rockwell’s American Nazi Party were infiltrating the reborn “America First” party back in the 2000s.
I listened to all of Trump’s speech.
I did not agree 100%, but it was well along at 95% and felt it was a good, all-American speech that laid out a general philosophy and policy for his presidency.
If he will do what he said in that speech about putting American interests first, about improving our military, improving the health care of our veterans, ensuring that our allies know that we will support them, expecting those whom we defend to share in that expense, making clear that our adversaries know that America is going to put its interests first and face down those adversaries, and then addressing ISIS and taking them down...then he will have turned American foreign policy back to where it should be.
To where it should always have been.
Grasping at straws....
The Nazi comparisons will never die. They are ever trotted out now almost a century later as the bogeyman when all else fails.
Yes, America first, today and tomorrow.
Does he even know what “America first” means in terms of its historical context in World War II?
We all know words can have meaning changes. Does gay mean what it did pre WWII?
Omg, no he didn’t. Rush calling Trump a Nazi.
Rush, when the libs all agree with you and constitutional conservatives don’t, you’re doing something wrong.
Rush, your a globalist, always have been, so go with the people that support your $$$ and pay your $$$ and shut up!!!
What’s the difference between doing something because it’s in our national interest and putting America first?
Answer: nothing
Did only one other person actually read the transcript or hear it on the radio? Here is the crux of what Rush is saying, quoted from the transcript. “all you have to know is Trump said the following: We will no longer surrender this country or its people to the false song of globalism. That’s it. Everything before and after is irrelevant. That line made the speech one of the greatest ever.” In other words Rush is supporting Trump’s speech and ridiculing the elites for their response. Get a grip Trump supporters, Rush didn’t trash Trump.
So Limbaugh thinks Trump supporters are all naive like nazi-collaborators of 80 years ago.
Shut up Limbaugh! You’re sickening.
It really should have said “surrender to the siren song of globalism” rather than the “false song of globalism.” Better rhetorically.
I think we’re in 100% bias confirmation mode at this point.
What does Rush want - something like "America Last AND Elites First'? That's NEVER been used...Would Rush like that better?
I can assure you Rush - all of us who are tired of America being last are NOT looking back to some anti- semite past and pulling out a phrase. Why not just call Trump Hitler? Like all the other liberals?
Dear Rush,
A fag used to mean a cigarette.
Times change.
Trying to place Trump in the Nazi movement of 1939 is ridiculous, but nothing will stop the smear campaign afoot from our Neocon friends, now will it?
Parse it any way you want,
America first means America first. It is simple.
Rush is being an ass by bringing this up.
Trump does not have that era in mind, and he’s not doing something evil by saying he’ll implement policies that make America stronger and it’s citizens safer and more well off financially.
What does bringing this up do except smear Trump.
Rush's (willful?) ignorance about this astounding. The "America First Committee" was disbanded on December 10, 1941, three days after Pearl Harbor. AFC supporters included JFK, Gerald Ford, and future Justice Potter Stewart. These and many others simply believed we shouldn't get involved in a European war, and quickly changed their minds once we were attacked and Hitler declared war against us. I'm not sure any of them thought it would have be "fine and dandy" if Germany took over Europe. Maybe Rush could supply some evidence for this assertion?
The Nazi association comes from Charles Lindbergh, who some thought was a Nazi supporter. He was a spokesman for the AFC. Lindbergh, too, sought to support the war effort as soon as it commenced but was slowed down a bit by FDR who kept him out of the military. Lindbergh had to get involved by supporting American manufacturers and did eventually fly a number of combat missions against the Japanese as a civilian.

Rush needs his Oxycontin.
Just another establishment talking head blathering.
PRESIDENT TRUMP, AMERICA FIRST!
