Hollywood's top Democrat diva Barbra Streisand is blasting President Bush for "controlling" the nation by ginning up fears of another terrorist attack, saying the president's tactics remind her of Nazi Luftwaffe Commander Herman Goering.
In a statement posted to her website headlined, "A Country Controlled by Fear," Streisand complains:
"Bush's actions remind me of Herman Goering's quote during the Nuremberg Trials, where he stated: '...it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.'"
Streisand continued to quote the Nazi Reichsmarshall, contending his words provided an insight into Bush's thinking:
"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders," said Goering, according to the disgruntled songstress. "All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism . . . "
The Democrat diva said that Goering's tactics, as adapted by Bush, have been extremely effective, arguing that the American people have been "unable to recognize they are being manipulated when they are paralyzed by fear because their government is constantly reminding them of an impending terrorist attack."
She griped that Bush's propaganda blitzkrieg managed to obscure his terrible performance in office during last year's presidential campaign.
"Despite all of the administration's mistakes and shortcomings, Bush was re-elected by the American people (regardless of the many accounts of possible voter fraud)," lamented Streisand.
Didn't she play "Mother Fokker" in a recent film? Talk about typecasting ...
The "Eva Braun" of Hollywood opens her pie-hole again.
2. The Nazis (excerpt of essay bt 2banana).
The Nazis never were Christians. They sometimes used the cover of Christianity and other religions in their propaganda but they developed their own Pagan rituals for weddings, births and other important ceremonies. They also exterminated thousands of priests and millions of Christians in concentration camps.
The Nazis used any religion to further their power. For example, the Nazis raised two Muslim Waffen SS Divisions during the war. These were the only true "religious" SS Division the Nazis ever created (and it is safe to say that the Germany was not a Muslim nation). Himmler was fascinated by the thought of Muslims to be fearless soldiers willing to kill for their religion. One of these Muslim Waffen SS divisions (The Hanjer Division) was responsible for the murder of over 90 percent of the Yugoslavian Jewish population.
They were left-wing socialists. Yes, the National Socialist Workers Party of Germany, otherwise known as the Nazi Party, was indeed socialist, and it had a lot in common with the modern left. Hitler preached class warfare, agitating the working class to resist "exploitation" by capitalists -- particularly Jewish capitalists, of course. Their program called for the nationalization of education, health care, transportation, and other major industries. They instituted and vigorously enforced a strict gun control regimen. They encouraged pornography, illegitimacy, and abortion, and they denounced Christians as right-wing fanatics. Yet a popular myth persists that the Nazis themselves were right-wing extremists. This insidious lie biases the entire political landscape, and the time has come to expose it.
yeah... he even talked those terrorists into taking out the WTC.
Sheesh... what altered Universe do these people exist in?
"In a statement posted to her website headlined, "A Country Controlled by Fear," Streisand complains:"
And complains and complains and complains and complains...........
I hate that bitch.
She sure reads a lot of stuff on Nazis...
Her statement makes perfect sense if one accept the premise that 9/11 was staged by the US government. Since her record-buying public might get highly offended, she leaves that premise unspoken.
It's OK - she's allowed to trivialize the Holocaust because she hates traditional Judaism.
Wow! Her comments just get stupider and stupider.
In the absence of talent or originality, leftism is the key to success in Hollywood.
I was going to say, it takes one to know one.
She can't sing or act either, and to top it all of she's ugly as hell!
I liked her much better when she was gruntled.
Spouse rented that movie, tried to watch last nite but it was like . . . passing a kidney stone.
The only thing I want to read about Streisand is her obituary.
