Rangel: Islamofascist an Insult - 'You Never Called Hitler a Christian Fascist'

It doesn't take much to offend liberals' exquisite sensitivities. The latest? Referring to Islamofascists as . . . Islamofascists. Chris Matthews got the ball rolling on this evening's Hardball. But Charlie Rangel upped the ante to the max, managing to impugn Christians and Jews in the bargain. Fortunately, GOP Congressman Dan Lungren had the guts to call Rangel on it.

Matthews got things started by challenging Lungren: "Would you include Hezbollah in that group [of Islamofascists]? Would you include Hamas, they are they enemies of Israel. Are they also enemies of ours? Are they also fascists because they have a dispute with Israel? Anybody who is against us is a fascist now."

Chris, are you really asking whether Hezbollah, who killed 241 of our servicemen in Lebanon, is our enemy?

Rangel sent things to the moon a bit later with this line: "You take Islamic and you call them fascists, you call them radical. You never called Hitler a Christian fascist. This is insulting to an entire religion."

Lungren wouldn't be intimidated: "No it's not that at all, and that is absolute nonsense to say that."

Rangel wasn't finished: "We got Christian killers, we got Jewish killers, and we never identify them by religion. What you're doing is demonizing."

Demonizing, Charlie? What would you call the people who wanted to blow up thousands of innocents civilians over the Atlantic this week?

It is hard to believe this man is a US Congressman. A ranking member at that. His moronic statement reflects on his constituents.

As did Cynthia McKinney and Dennis Kusinich (sp?) We truly do get the representation that we deserve.

Charlie is one very excellent reason every conservative, every Republican, should get their sorry butt to the polls and pull the R lever in November, even if it's a RINO. Forget your single-issues and think 'big picture.'

Charlie has offered/threatened to quit if the Dem's don't win back the House.

George W. Bush in 2001 at the National Holocaust Museum:

"Human evil has never been so ambitious in scope, so systematic in execution, and so deliberate in its destruction."

Islamofascists are just continuing in the tradition of their Nazi mentors. If liberals have a problem with calling a spade a spade, then they can go to hell. I'm sure their Islamofascist brethren will help them get there via bomb, beheading, etc.

That's because Hitler was a pagan. He also had plans for the future dismantling of the church.

RANGEL FAILS AT HISTORY

Charlie is off his rocker. it's just so simple. Hitler didn't do his dirty work on behalf of Christianity, whereas the Muslems, Islams, whatever you call them, do their dirty work in the name of Allah.

Hitler was brought up Catholic, who cares if anyone wants to call him a Christin fascist?

We never called Hitler a Christian fascist for the same reason we never called you a man who possesses a measurable intellect or who applies common sense.

Wanted to clarify that I was speaking to Rangel and not governsleastgovernsbest (One of the best here on Free Republic).

NOTE TO Self: Be more careful with late night posting.

You never called Hitler a Christian fascist

Okay, Hitler was a christic fascist. A christic fascist. Christic is not the same as Christian just as islamist is not Islamian. He was also partly of Jewish descent. So he would have been a judeic-christic fascist. Since he was not an actual Christian but belonged to some kind of satanic cult he should be called a satanic fascist. Anything else we need to call him that has been left out?

The dogma of Christianity gets worn away before the advance of science. Religion will have to make more and more concessions. Gradually the myths crumble. Hitler - 1941

This is atheism.

>>>Hitler wasn't a Christian and didn't purport to be acting per Christianity.<<<

Hitler was not a Christian, but he embraced the CINO's (Christians In Name Only) who hated Jews.

Nazism is a cult.

I thought the Nazis abandon the Christian Religion but they didn't. They twisted the religion to fit views and used the Bible quotes to justified their actions against the Jews.
Slowly the Church became secondary in Hitler's Germany. Hitler used German pagan folklore to give pride back to the people. Hilter became the cult. German's worshipped Hilter.

Personality cult?
