Free Republic

It always comes down to this one, doesn't it? Leftists and fringe politicos calling Republicans "Nazis." Well, the "N" word was once again unleashed against John McCain's Republican Convention on September 2 during CNN's Larry King Live show. Actor D.L. Hughley and Independent former Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura both went for that shopworn epithet as King discussed the Convention. Along with Hughley and Ventura, King had on former Clinton Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers who claimed that Republicans were saying with their convention theme that “only Republicans put their country first” ridiculously saying that Independents shouldn't vote for the...

The obama campaign and the dRATS are unbelievable.

The risk John McCain took last Friday is comparable to the 72-year-old ex-fighter pilot knocking back two shots and flying his F-16 under the Golden Gate Bridge. McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his co-pilot was the biggest gamble in presidential history. As of now, it is paying off, big-time. The sensational selection in Dayton, Ohio, stepped all over the big story from Denver – Barack Obama's powerful address to 85,000 cheering folks in Mile High Stadium, and 35 million nationally, a speech that vaulted him from a 2-point deficit early in the week to an 8-point...

(IsraelNN.com) “John McCain's decision to select a vice presidential running mate that endorsed Pat Buchanan for President in 2000 is a direct affront to all Jewish Americans. Pat Buchanan is a Nazi sympathizer with a uniquely atrocious record on Israel, even going as far as to denounce bringing former Nazi soldiers to justice and praising Adolf Hitler" Jewish US Congressman Robert Wexler criticized John McCain’s Friday announcement of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, saying that it is an insult to Jews. Wexler, an ultra-left representative from Florida, cited Palin's endorsement of Pat Buchanan - whom Wexler called...

The theory of Scandinavian racial purity cherished by Hitler and the Nazis has been rubbished by new scientific research. The study found that bodies from 2000-year-old burial sites in eastern Denmark contained "as much genetic variation in their remains as one would expect to find in individuals of the present day". The findings, in an analysis by the University of Copenhagen which has just been published in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, explodes the Nazis' much cherished concept of a 'superior' Nordic race. Adolf Hitler cherished the concept of a 'superior' Nordic race Hitler used pseudo-scientific research to back...

What ending the War on Drugs can buy.

President Bush’s proclamation condemning “the evils of Soviet communism and Nazi fascism” and praising the “triumph of freedom and democracy over these tyrannies,” drew a sharp rebuke from the Russian Foreign Ministry. “This statement is unfair,” complained Deputy Foreign Minister Ivan Brutishki. “We had a deal with Hitler to divide Poland. We kept our part of the bargain, but the Germans attacked us anyway and took our slice of Poland. We were an aggrieved party. The same cannot be said for the United States. What territory did the Nazis take from it? Luckily, things were set right at Yalta.” The...

Last week Russia furiously attacked President Bush for his proclamation on Captive Nations Week (July 20-July 26), which was established to raise awareness of countries living under communist and other oppressive regimes. Mr. Bush said that, "In the 20th century, the evils of Soviet communism and Nazi fascism were defeated and freedom spread around the world as new democracies emerged." The Russian Foreign Ministry claimed that treating Nazi fascism and Soviet communism as "a single evil" was an insult that "hurt the hearts" of World War II veterans in Russia and in allied countries, including the United States. "While condemning...

Three Nazi bunkers on a beach have been uncovered by  violent storms off the Danish  coast, providing a store of material  for history buffs and military  archaeologists.   The bunkers were found in  practically the same condition as they were  on the day the last Nazi soldiers left them, down to the tobacco in one trooper‘s pipe and a half-finished bottle of  schnapps. (edit) They were located by two nine-year-old boys on holiday with their parents, who then informed the authorities. Archaeologists were able to carefully force a way, and were astounded at what they found.'What's so fantastic is...

Scent of a FührerHitler wanted to control the world. But he couldn't even control his flatulence. By Tony Perrottet Guests at the Berghof, Hitler’s private chalet in the Bavarian Alps, must have endured some unpleasant odors in the otherwise healthful mountain air. It may sound like a Woody Allen scenario, but medical historians are unanimous that Adolf was the victim of uncontrollable flatulence. Spasmodic stomach cramps, constipation and diarrhea, possibly the result of nervous tension, had been Hitler’s curse since childhood and only grew more severe as he aged. As a stressed-out dictator, the agonizing digestive attacks would occur after...

The funeral of a former Nazi concentration camp director in Croatia was a tribute to anti-Semitism, the Simon Wiesenthal Center said. Dinko Sakic, the last surviving concentration camp director, died last week in prison at age 87. He was convicted of war crimes and sent to prison for 20 years for running the Jasenovac camp, where tens of thousands of mostly Jews and Serbs were tortured and murdered. He remained unrepentant until his death. Croatia was run by a Nazi puppet regime during World War II, the Ustasha. Efraim Zuroff, a Nazi hunter and head of the Wiesenthal Center's Israel...

Zagreb - Dinko Sakic, a former commander of Croatia's most notorious Nazi-era concentration camp during World War II, has died at age 86, news reports said Monday. Sakic was in charge during May-October 1944 at the Jasenovac camp, where tens of thousands of Serbs, Jews and others died under the Ustasha regime, Croatia's 1941-45 Nazi puppet government. He died late Sunday at a prison hospital in Zagreb, the capital, local media reported. Sakic was extradited to Croatia from Argentina in 1998 and sentenced to 20 years in prison for war crimes, the maximum sentence under Croatian law. He was convicted...

Finally, Barack Obama's campaign has settled on a site for his Berlin speech. But some German politicians have now criticized his choice as being one full of Nazi-related symbolism. Barack Obama will hold his speech at the Siegessäule monument in the heart of the city, according to an announcement made by his campaign office in Chicago on Sunday. In his speech, he will speak about the "historic US-German partnership" and about the importance of strengthening trans-Atlantic relations, according to his campaign team. Still, even as the issue of his speech's location has now been settled, a number of politicians in...

BERLIN: The decision by Senator Barack Obama to speak at a landmark monument in Berlin this Thursday has opened up yet another controversy, with conservative and opposition politicians saying the site recalls Germany's Nazi past and Prussia's militaristic tradition. Obama is planning to address what organizers expect will be huge crowds at the Siegessäule, or Victory Column, which is located in the center of a long and busy intersection that straddles the lush, public Tiergarten gardens and stretches up to the Brandenburg Gate. SNIP After days of back and forth between the chancellery and the Obama campaign, the Victory Column...

The political correctness thought police won’t tolerate what you’re about to read. I’m throwing the “bogus” flag upon the presidential bid of Marxist-Socialist turned Democrat Senator from Illinois, Barack Hussein Obama. Somewhere around 75 or so years ago, from out of nowhere a stealth politician arose. He too sought the nomination for his nation’s highest office; refreshingly different from other politicians of the era. This Austrian born wallpaper hanger’s background is too much like our Illinois lawyer’s. Both reared in single parent households; neither brought much of a resume on the campaign trail. The one hung wallpaper the other hung...

Paris in the month of May was in full aphrodisiac bloom. The girls were swinging along the boulevards in their short, flowery skirts, their hair flowing loose behind them. On the radio, the singer Tino Rossi - France's answer to Rudolph Valentino - belted out his latest romantic favourite. But a few short weeks later, on June, 14, 1940, the German army marched into the capital and occupied it for four years. France has never forgotten its humiliation - or its bewilderment - in having to adjust to a life of close proximity to the old enemy, with all the...

The U.S. Justice Department has asked a Seattle federal court to revoke the citizenship of a Washington state resident accused of serving the Nazis. Tuesday's complaint alleges that Yugoslavian-born Peter Egner, 86, in April 1941 joined the Nazi-controlled Security Police and Security Service in German-occupied Belgrade, Serbia, a Nazi mobile killing unit that participated in the mass murder of more than 17,000 Serbian civilians during World War II. According to the complaint, Egner has admitted volunteering to serve in the Security Police and Security Service and guarding prisoners as they were being transferred to concentration camps. Egner also admitted serving...

SEATTLE (AP) - The Justice Department asked a federal court Tuesday to revoke the citizenship of an 86-year-old Bellevue man, saying he served in a Nazi unit that slaughtered 17,000 Serbian civilians during World War II. Peter Egner, a native of Yugoslavia, served as a guard and interpreter with the Nazi-controlled Security Police and Security Service in Belgrade, Serbia - then Yugoslavia - from April 1941 to September 1943, said a civil complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle. Egner did not divulge that information after he immigrated to the U.S. in 1960 and applied for citizenship, the complaint...

A cross-dressing Nazi racist has converted to ISLAM in jail because he's terrified of being killed in a revenge attack. Hitler fanatic Martyn Gilleard, 31, was caged for 16 years last month for possessing 39,000 sick child porn images - and making four nail bombs. The pervert, who kept pictures of himself in women's underwear, planned to target mosques or places where black and Asian people gathered. But now he has seen an imam at Wakefield Prison in West Yorkshire and says he has become a Muslim. A prison source said: "Gilleard was kicked into touch by far-right parties for...

The Simon Wiesenthal Center has received leads that "Dr. Death" Aribert Heim, the center's most wanted Nazi war criminal, is alive and living in Patagonia, Chile. The center's chief Nazi hunter is due to travel there this week. The hunt for "Dr. Death" Aribert Heim, the Nazi war criminal wanted for murdering hundreds of prisoners in concentration camps during World War II, has intensified after the Simon Wiesenthal's chief Nazi hunter received fresh leads during a visit to South America. Efraim Zuroff, a Holocaust historian who heads the center's Jerusalem office, told media that he had received information that Heim...

I've been trying to track down where and when Hitler said "Heute Europa, Morgen die Welt" (Today Europe, Tomorrow the World.) Google hasn't been any help. Anyone have a source?

24 June 2008 Zagreb _ A former US ambassador to Croatia has accused Zagreb of plotting and sanctioning the exodus of Serbs in 1995 to create an "ethnically clean" country. Peter Galbraith told The Hague war crimes trial of three Croatian generals, that the leadership headed by late President Franjo Tudjman used ‘Operation Storm’ to ‘cleanse’ Croatia of Serbs. “Croatian authorities either ordered or allowed a mass destruction of the Serb property in former (Serb-held region of) Krajina to prevent the return of the population. I consider that to have been a thought through policy,” he said, testifying at the...

Nazi sympathiser Martyn Gilleard kept nail bombs under young son's bed By Paul Stokes Last Updated: 6:35PM BST 24/06/2008 A neo-Nazi planning attacks on Muslims, who hid home-made nail bombs under his five year old son's bed, faces life in jail after being found guilty of terrorism offences.

Police also discovered...

Few people realize that the Baath party was actually formed upon the principles and organizational structure of the Nazi party. Iraq, because of its oil and hatred of Jews, was an important battleground between the Axis and Allied powers in World War II. Nazi propaganda was broadcast throughout Baghdad, and Iraqis often went on rampages against Jews throughout the war. One of the most ardent Nazi supporters during WWII was named Khairallah Talfah. Talfah was Saddam's uncle. After the war, many of the key Iraqi Nazi supporters, all of whom evaded prosecution, wound up involved in Saddam's rise to power....

Residents of Kelowna, B.C. are outraged about the anti-Semitic graffiti sprayed on the walls of a local Jewish centre. "It seems like an ignorant, mindless thing to do," resident Eddie Sanchez told CTV British Columbia on Saturday. "It's sad, it's very sad that it happens in our community," added Connie Sprague. Police in Kelowna say the vandals struck the Okanagan Jewish Community Centre sometime between Friday night and early Saturday morning. The vandals sprayed Nazi swastikas and hateful slogans on the walls. They also struck a local elementary school and some vehicles in the area. Police say they have no...

ABC News reports Barack Obama praising the Supreme Court decision in Boumediene et al v Bush that gave Habeas Corpus Rights to those in Guantanomo Bay. Obama said that "I think we should make it an issue" in the election and I happen to agree. I don't agree with him when he says the decision "said we are going to live up to our ideals when it comes to rule of law." The fact is that we were living up to our ideals just fine, that there was a system of military tribunals. The fact is that historically the rule...

(IsraelNN.com) The Nazi war criminal listed as Number Four on the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Most Wanted List, 95-year-old Milivoj Asner, was spotted by the British Sun newspaper strolling with his wife at the Euro 2008 championships and mingling with soccer fans, according to a report by the paper on Monday. Austria refused to extradite te Nazi war criminal to Croatia for questioning on his role as chief of police and Gestapo operative in the country's Nazi-controlled wartime regime, saying his health is too fragile. Asner is listed for crimes on an Interpol most-wanted list under a Croatian arrest warrant for...

It was common in those days, as it is in ours, to identify the Communists as leftist and the Nazis as rightists, as if they stood on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum. But Mises knew differently. They both sported the same ideological pedigree of socialism. "The German and Russian systems of socialism have in common the fact that the government has full control of the means of production. It decides what shall be produced and how. It allots to each individual a share of consumer's goods for his consumption." The difference between the systems, wrote Mises, is that the...

You may want to give credit where credit is due to Al Gore and his global warming campaign the next time you fill your car with gasoline, because there is a direct connection between Global Warming and four dollar a gallon gas. It is shocking, but true, to learn that the entire Global Warming frenzy is based on the environmentalist’s attack on fossil fuels, particularly gasoline. All this big time science, international meetings, thick research papers, dire threats for the future; all of it, comes down to their claim that the carbon dioxide in the exhaust from your car and...

The Hunt for American al Qaeda The United States is turning up the heat in the hunt for the California boy turned al Qaeda operative, Adam Gadahn, who has been charged with treason and is believed to be hiding in Afghanistan. If caught and convicted, Gadahn could face the death penalty. The State Department along with the Department of Diplomatic Security announced the beginning of a publicity campaign in Afghanistan urging locals to provide any information on Gadahn's whereabouts, with a reward if the information leads to his capture. Radio advertisements with information concerning the $1 million reward have...

A retired steelworker who served as a Nazi guard should be deported even though the United States granted him a visa in 1956, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday. Anton Geiser's work as a guard meets the type of persecutory conduct banned under the Refugee Relief Act, which was in effect when he entered the U.S., the ruling said. Geiser, 83, did not cite his Nazi ties on his visa application, but he is not accused of lying about them. Files from the period have been lost and it is not clear what questions he was asked. His lawyer, Adrian...

Present-day anti-smoking forces are following the same blueprint that Adolph Hitler used in his hopes for a smoke-free Nazi Germany. Smoke Nazis' quest for control and regulatory power closely mirror the original National Socialists of 1930s Germany. We list the Nazi anti-smoking accomplishments alongside of those of the Smoke Nazis. * The Nazis banned tobacco advertising and financed huge public relations campaigns to propagandize people into giving up smoking. In April 1970, Congress passed the Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act banning the advertising of cigarettes on television and radio starting on January 2, 1971. The Virginia Slims brand was in...

The latest stupid, petty controversy in the presidential primaries/election is people being "outraged"--and the Republicans demanding an explanation--for Senator Obama confusing Auschwitz with Buchenwald in a recent speech. According to the Associated Press' Obama mistaken on name of Nazi death camp (5/28/08): "The Barack Obama campaign said Tuesday the candidate mistakenly referred to the wrong Nazi death camp when relating the story of a great uncle who helped liberate the camps in World War II.

Obama mistaken on name of Nazi death campBy CHRISTOPHER WILLS, Associated Press Writer 28 minutes ago NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. - The Barack Obama campaign said Tuesday the candidate mistakenly referred to the wrong Nazi death camp when relating the story of a great uncle who helped liberate the camps in World War II. The Democratic presidential candidate said the story is accurate except that the camp was Buchenwald, not Auschwitz.

AN MI5 officer has been forced to resign after admitting that his wife was a prostitute who took part in a notorious "Nazi-style orgy" with Max Mosley, the Formula One racing chief. The intelligence officer, who cannot be named for security reasons, left the service last month after it emerged his wife was one of the five callgirls who took part in the sadomasochistic sex session with Mosley. Exposure of the lurid orgy led to calls for Mosley, son of wartime British fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley, to step down from his post as president of the FIA, the governing...

I have always liked Gary Hart, and, when I have met him, came away impressed that he was a thoughtful person. That said, he has a long diatribe against John McCain, in which he falls into the now tired condescending trope of the sinister neocons who, as quasi-neo-Nazis, took over a clueless George Bush: Historians of early 21st century American politics will remark the degree to which radical forces, usually called neoconservatives, perverted language as recommended by the National Socialist Party in 1930s Germany...

WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama accused President Bush on Thursday of launching a "false political attack" with a comment about appeasing terrorists and radicals. The Illinois senator interpreted the remark as a slam against him but the White House denied that Bush's words were in any way directed at Obama, who has said as president he would be willing to personally meet with Iran's leaders and those of other regimes the United States has deemed rogue. In a speech to Israel's Knesset, Bush said: "Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as...

WASHINGTON (Routers) In an effort to drive a wedge between moderate Germans and those more extreme, the State Department issued new rules today, stipulating that the word "Nazi" was not to be used by department employees to describe the enemy. Germany recently declared war on our country, as part of its alliance with Imperial Japan, which itself attacked us at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii a little over a week ago, and with which we are now at war. "Nazism has a great many admirable features," said a department spokesman at Foggy Bottom, "and we want to make clear that despite...

The hunt for Heim has taken investigators from the German state of Baden-Wuerttemberg all around the world. Besides his home country of Austria and neighboring Germany where he settled after the war, tips have come from Uruguay in 1998, Spain, Switzerland and Chile in 2005, and Brazil in 2006, said Heinz Heister, presiding judge of the Baden-Baden state court, where Heim was indicted in absentia on hundreds of counts of murder in 1979. Thousands of German war criminals were prosecuted in West Germany after World War II. In the 1970s Western democracies began a hunt in earnest for Eastern European...

BRUSSELS -- Can communism be compared to Nazism? Does communism's record deserve as unequivocal a condemnation as that of Nazism? And should communism's modern-day adherents and apologists be rejected as firmly by Europe's political mainstream as those of Nazism? The debate over the historical record of communism simmers on in the European Union. Forced onto the bloc's agenda by its new ex-communist member states, the issue was most recently broached at a European Parliament debate in Strasbourg on April 21. Reflecting deep-seated divisions among member states and political camps, the parliament ultimately failed to agree on a common declaration. Some...

In discussing the MSM and their predilection to lie, someone here at one of the posts commented, "The Old Nazi Trick" in reference to the aphorism, "Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes true". I sent him my comments on this subject that I thought were worth repeating. The old Nazi trick The aphorism "Repeat a lie enough and it becomes true" has been attributed to the Nazis, specifically Hermann Goering, Josef Goebbels,something quite easy to believe when considering the criminally insane lives they've so egregiously demonstrated to have lived. I had come across a blog a few years...

Darwin critics know Ernst Haeckel as the German philosopher whose faked embryo drawings helped generations of clueless students accept Darwinism – "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" and all that. But there is still another problem with Haeckel, a darker one than mere fraud. Critics of the Ben Stein film, "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed," apparently do not know this. If they had, they would not have savaged Stein for daring to connect Adolf Hitler to Charles Darwin. In Scientific American, for instance, editor John Rennie describes this connection as "heavy-handed." In Reuters, Frank Scheck calls it "truly offensive." In reality, it is neither....

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - A Libyan envoy who compared the situation in Gaza to the Holocaust went further on Thursday, saying it was worse than in Nazi concentration camps because of regular Israeli bomb attacks. "It is more than what happened in the concentration camps," Libya's deputy permanent U.N. representative, Ibrahim Dabbashi, told reporters. "There is the bombing, daily bombing (by Israel) ... in Gaza. It was not in the concentration camps." "It is worse than that," said Dabbashi, who holds the rank of ambassador. U.S. envoy Alejandro Wolff rejected the Libyan statement. He was one of several Western envoys...

Photos of carefree Parisians lazing in cafes, flocking to cinemas or enjoying a day at the races during the Nazi occupation have sparked outrage in Paris and calls for the exhibit to be shut down.

Pope Benedict XVI has spoken out for the first time about growing up under the "monster" of Nazism.Speaking at a youth rally in New York, he said his teenage years had been "marred by a sinister regime". The Pope was a Hitler Youth member as a teen, usual for young Germans at the time, and was conscripted by the German army near the end of World War II. Earlier, during a Mass at St Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan he again condemned paedophile Catholic priests. Pope Benedict's tour of the US is his first visit to the country since being elected...

Pope Benedict XVI has spoken out for the first time about growing up under the "monster" of Nazism. Speaking at a youth rally in New York, the German-born pontiff said his teenager years had been "marred by a sinister regime". Earlier, during a Mass at St Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan he spoke out again about the suffering of victims of paedophile Catholic priests. On Sunday, he is due to visit the scene of the 9/11 attacks in New York. Pope Benedict's tour of the US is his first visit to the country since being elected head of the Catholic Church...
