Always remember that Hitler's brownshirts (whose job it was to break up opponents meetings and intimidate opponents from even holding public rallies) were led by a gay man.
Ernst Rohm later got purged from the party so Hitler could gain the favor of the army and nationalists.
Nowadays, when someone says something that offends political correctness, the liberals and the MSM descend like vultures to intimidate and silence them. And some RINO'S and "responsible Conservatives" join in. Ann Coulter is getting that treatment now.
Stop the brownshirting of conservatives and anyone else who says something that offends political correctness.
The entire command staff of the SA were a gang of homosexuals and bisexuals. They used the Hitler Youth as their seraglio. It was so bad, that the Army generals whose support Hitler was trying to get, gagged on the SA's sexual perversion and flagrancy. At the same time, SA leader Ernst Roehm was demanding that the SA be given control of the Army, and that just wasn't going to happen. The Army had the hard-rock ability to defend itself against Hitler and the SA, and they hadn't yet sworn allegiance to Hitler and his cause, and they could still take him out.
Hitler ordered the "night of the long knives" for Roehm and the SA leaders to remove an obstacle to power.
