=== I did not see a lot of posters accusing others of being Nazis, I did see alot of posts trying to draw an analogy to the Nazis.
I couldn't watch most of it ... but if Thoughtomator's excellent work during the first 150 posts of the patently offensive WPPFF thread was any indication, I think you are correct.
I don't know what the reluctance is to even entertain the fact that, indeed, there are analogies to be drawn. But I guess we're getting a look at what it must have been like to live in Germany in many respects.
I think one reason Hitler was allowed to come to power -- even encouraged in some respects if you look at the odd acts of appeasement and encouragement and studious indifference where the key Allies were concerned -- was to destroy Germany utterly. Allow it a false head of steam such that the world would understand it had to be thoroughly demolished.
I think that may explain a lot of our more curious post-war actions ... even if it were the Communists biding their time in the wings who'd planned on the last laugh as Germany, freshly burdened as the Wall fell INTO the West, became a linchpin of the Euro Soviet about which Lenin had dreamed and whose finishing touches -- particularly where the collectivized security forces were concerned -- we put on courtesy of Kosovo.
That's a lot of tin foil, sure your head can handle it?
We are lucky here in the USA, since we have utterly lost our morals, we at least have history to keep us from making mistakes. So drawing analogies from the past are valid and not name calling.
