Hitler tried to rewrite the whole bible. He showed up to a lot of Christian public functions, but he thought the religion was weak and that Christianity had to be changed a lot to align with Nazi goals.

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's worse than you identified. Nazism is not "Christian." It sets up altruism as the ideal. As in "for the Volk, everything."
Profound ignorance on display here by everybody involved.
Thank heavens Rangel will be retiring immediately after the mid term elections.
It's always good to hear how much of an Idiot Charlie Rangal can be.He has really lost it.
You CAN rant on more if you like. LOL
I sure hope the RNC is stockpiling choice soundbytes like this in thier war chest.

This just amazes me. To be so partisan that you would deny the reality of Hamas and Hez'bollah...
Incredible.
This is another example of anti-semitism.
Hitler was not only not a Christian...he was an anti-Christian
So it's not opportune to hurl ourselves now into a struggle with the churches. The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death. A slow death has something comforting about it. 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. All that's left is to prove that in nature there's no frontier between the organic and the inorganic. When understanding of the universe has become widespread, when the majority of men know that the stars are not sources of light but worlds - perhaps inhabited worlds like ours - then the Christian doctrine will be convicted of absurdity
--Adolf Hitler, 1941
Hitler was an atheist.
By the same token, Rangel is just a dumb a$$!
GLGB is not a "moron." Everybody that appeared on Hairball (at least tonight) is.
Suggest you do just a teensy bit of homework next time before you post.
Moron.
The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianty's illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew.
--Adolf Hitler, 1941
I think we all know it's not going to happen any time soon, as those who aren't rooting for the Islamofascists are fearful for their safety for voicing any real opposition (as opposed to CAIR's taqiyah opposition).

They can't discuss religion. See Matthews attempt to recenter the debate as being about "Israel."
Yes, per Bush Hamas could be called "Islamic fascists." But the PLO isn't.
That's how he got and has kept his job, by playing the race card. We need to be careful that we don't make the same corrupt deal with Muslim charlatans that we made with the blacks in 1968 when they rioted. We ceded the big center cities to a bunch of goons.
Now, now, don't go confusing the little dears with facts. Facts severely inhibit their ability to maintain their liberalism.
Retract my previous post to you.
Did not see your clarification.
I'm sorry.
A ranking member at that.
His moronic statement reflects on his constituents.
I second that.
Charlie Rangel is just another fine example of my belief that 90+% of our elected federal officials are just plain STUPID!. (PA State level official fall into that category as well.)
They appear to think that 'Islamic' in 'Islamic Fascist' describes the person doing the deed, where in fact it just describes the nature of the Fascisim that motivates the baddies.
