I could never understand why people lose their sense humor when implying they, or those they support are Nazis.

I seem to have forgotten when or where I might have implied that anybody was a Nazi.

Could you please point that out for me?

Thanks.

Hi Allegra...

I’ve been trying to read up on this thread, coming in late to the “party”.

That joke about the Paul relatives falling from guard towers in Nazi Concentration Camps, the one you pinged wideawake to and mentioned the words “sense of humor” about, MIGHT be what sparked someone to suggest that you implied Paul or his supporters were Nazis.

Not saying it was relevant at all to the post that was made to you afterward but maybe that’s where it originated in that poster’s mind.

Who knows?

It was kind of a difficult comment to parse, for me anyway. I’m not even sure it wasn’t jest in itself, not directed at you as calling anyone a Nazi, but I don’t know. I guess if the poster is a Paul supporter (and I don’t know if yes or no), that context might tell the tale. No?

How noisy or quiet has it been in your neighborhood lately??

Oh come now. Do you see where I said "you" above? Obviously I didn't. I just threw out a sarcastic comment as you're well aware.

Fact is someone in #57 made a really dumb, dated comment, about the candidate having Nazi relatives. I guess this could pass as a joke in some circles. But in defense of Paul, he might be a lot of things, but he's not a Nazi nor does he have Nazi relatives.

I mean if someone would make jokes about that, they might as well imply or make jokes that he or his relatives are child molesters or mass murderers.

In #94 *you* say: "Someone makes what is obviously a joke and the RP fans demand that you source it. LOL"

So *you* clearly considered this a joke, and thought it was humorous someone would ask for a link.

To be honest, I didn't find the comment to be a joke or funny. The Nazi's did a lot of nasty stuff and killed a whole lot of good people, including my Dad's brother. And just so you're aware, I am not a big Paul supporter, but he does make some good points in my opinion. At this time, I personally like Hunter.

And to be clear, if someone wants to "go there" and make comments/jokes like that, directed towards candidates they don't like or support, well I can't do anything about it and wouldn't, as I fully believe in the 1st Amendment. But I can make comments of my own.
