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

I believe that this an anti-Nazi propaganda poster. A majority of Merkuns during WWII wouldn't have gotten REAL bothered seeing such a picture, being as how the Bible was kind of revered back then.

I must have taken a fistful of my "stupid pills" this morning instead of the aspirin...

(I left the "being as how" in there, because it was a deliberate Dave Barryism. One must remember the Masters occasionally)

To all Islamofascists, if the shoe fits wear it.

Charlie charlie...Hitler was not a Christian anything. Christianity does not demand the slaughter of infidels...ISLAM DOES!

Do your homework before you blabber on.

Thanks, it does make sense from that perspective. OTOH, I was the one on the stupid pill. Makes more sense now after coffee.

First, we repeatedly described communism as "atheistic communism." Does Rangle think this was an insult to all atheists?

Second, Nazism didn't represent itself to be Christian; rather, it represented itself to be Ayrian, with pagan Nordic gods and a doctored bible. We could have (but didn't) call them "pagan Nazis," but that wasn't necessary.

Third, the enemy we are facing believes in combining religion and state authority; i.e., a theocracy. They have no separation of church and state. Is Wrangel saying theocracy is a good thing?

Now, with regard to the radical Muslims, for five years, Bush used the euphamism "terrorists." During this time, we gave moderate Muslims a pass. Turkey excused itself from the invasion of Iraq, and no Arab or Muslim nation (with the exception of Albania) provided troops for the occupation. (The UAE provided a brigade to bolster the defense of Kuwait, and other Gulf nations helped with bases, etc.)

Well, after five years, we have elevated the rhetoric. I presume this means are a now reaching a time for choosing. I presume this means that Iran is nearing completion of nuclear weapon.

Rangel is clumsy and as he is stupid.

[EveningStar]

The man is a dirtbag. And the people who keep electing him are seriously lacking in brain power.

Hitler did call himself a Christian once or twice, but it was all in good propaganda. The fact that he was in the process of writing a new, more Nazi-freindly bible (to the point of rewriting the commandments), speaks a bit more loudly.

[CyberAnt]

Excuse me .. Hitler WAS NOT a Christian. He studied Christianity .. but he studied it because he knew there was POWER involved in it.

Hitler was just too ignorant in spiritual things to understand where the power came from. God is the POWER .. not man.

[Milligan]

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


The German Christians voted for Hilter because they thought he would bring traditional values back.

Didn't Hilter ban jazz because it was decandant?

[subterfuge]

Just a suggestion Mark, but I'd recommend ALWAYS identifying Rangel as a Democrat in your columns for the unintiated.

And I'd always have Chrissy Mathews identified as a noted Clinton apologist or a flaming/wacko liberal, of which he is all of the above.

Rangel is a d**b**s - Hitler was most definitely NOT a Christian - if anything, his religion was Nordic Pagan.
