A Dark Kristallnacht of the Soul


Tired of the left's over-the-top hyperventilating about the tea party being the Second Coming of Hitler?  Michael Moynihan puts this historically ignorant liberal lunacy in perspective in his excellent Reason Magazine article,  Red America White Power

Reichskristallnacht—often called the "Night of Broken Glass" [...]  "Apart from the 267 synagogues destroyed and the 7,500 businessees vandalized, some ninety one Jews had been killed all over Germany and hundreds more had committed suicide or died as a result of mistreatment in the camps."

Would you be surprised to learn that a similar spasm of violence was recently visited upon African-American politicians in Washington, D.C.? Well, credulous reader, The New York Times recently told us that the shock troops of the Tea Party movement engaged in a "small-scale mimicry of Kristallnacht" while protesting the passage of a treasury-busting health care bill.

This is about putting beyond the pale any criticism of the party in power

This is about lumping all opponents into one group and marginalizing them.  Discredit your opponents with personal attacks and you don't have to argue with them.  Frank Rich and his ilk are either too stupid or too lazy to prove the charge of racism, nazism or whatever the hell it is they are trying to prove.  They simply assert the conclusion to a sea of unthinking liberal heads nodding in unison.

We're not just wrong, my fellow conservatives, we are dangerous, in the tradition of hitler's nazis and the klansmen of the racist south.  Got that?  We are beyond polite consideration, so nothing we say matters, or is even worthy of listening to.  In fact, even giving us a platform or listening to us could be considered a dangerous contribution to hate in America.  And we bear watching...

Liberals used to say that dissent was patriotic.  Funny what a little hope and change can do to the high minded and the self-righteous.

Linguistic and Historical Butchery
Democrat, Liberals, Progressives and all fellow travelers:  You have now shouted "RACIST!" and "NAZI!"  so many times that the charge has lost its sting.  Of course, racists and nazis still prowl our world, but how do we sort them out now?  You've neutered the terms. 

Good job...

Kristallnacht was carried out by the same people who burned the Reichstag and blamed it on others.

Correct. And they were members of the National Socialist Workers Party.

[TBP]

I think this may be looked upon by some people s a “burn-the-Reichstag” moment.

The libs have been engaged in some serious projection. Like all racists, they're obsessed with skin color. And like the Nazis, they support substantial regulations/interventions in the market economy, eugenics, outlawing guns, and other "progressive" wet dreams. And the Obama regime in particular has apparently chosen Goebbels' Propaganda Ministry as a model.

"The libs have been engaged in some serious projection."

Exactly! They engage in hateful ranting and raving, like their heroes Keith Olberman, Randy Rhodes, and Ed Schultz, yet they call us angry. That is some stunning psychological projection.

NAZI’s did not have any sort of economic freedom at all, they were tightly controlled by the state. They were socialized in all but name.

That reminds me of a story the author Tom Wolfe once told:

"I was at a dinner party in New York and when everyone was wondering what to do about Bush I suggested they might do like me and vote for him. There was silence around the table, as if I'd said 'By the way, I haven't mentioned this before, but I'm a child molester.'"

No, I don't think so. This is one of those times when I really want to be wrong: I think the "Reichstag fire" is coming, and they're planning it now.

Remember, our current economic crisis that blew up in the middle of the election, this "October Surprise" was triggered by a small change in the way banking assets are measured. One small change and boom, right in the middle of the election. We're still dealing with the wreckage.

They'll invent a reason to come after the Limbaughs, Becks, and teapartyers. I think they need to do it before November, while they still control both houses of congress. Call me paranoid. Never back down, but keep your eyes open and be ready for something weird to happen that will be laid at our feet.

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

On the Tax Day Tea Party Rally in Grand Prairie Texas, I took video camera in hand and interviewed attendees. I did this knowing it would counter the media misrepresentaion of the Tea Partiers.

PLEASE FORWARD these links to anyone who has been lied to by the media and politicians about the Tea Party Movement, which of course is everybody.

Naziism and Fascism are different forms of socialism. They actually resemble what we have today more closely than “traditional” siocialism does. Tehy allowed nominal private property, but the government controlled the use of everything. Thus it was private in name only — in actuality, it was just socialism in anotehr guise.

Which is what I meant by this being a "burn teh Reichstag moment."

I may have misinterpreted what you wrote but I think we’re on the same page.

These gangsters aren’t going to go easy.
