Anti-Defamation League: Stop using Nazi analogies in gun debate

Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director and a Holocaust survivor, said in a statement. “The idea that supporters of gun control are doing something akin to what Hitler’s Germany did to strip citizens of guns in the run-up to the Second World War is historically inaccurate and offensive, especially to Holocaust survivors and their families.”

ONLY because they haven't confiscated all the guns yet. Perhaps Mr. Foxman can explain what the Urban Assault Vehicles and 2 billion rounds of hollow point cartidges that the Department of Homeland Defense has acquired will be used on?

Thank you ArrogantBustard for that inciteful look into our our current status as a free nation.

I was told that there were no Roads Scholars on this website, I guess they were wrong.

[virgil]

If it walks like a duck.....

[ArrogantBustard]

I hope that my look into our current status gives new insights to some folks, and even incites folks to take action for the protection or reclamation of our freedoms.

As for the scholarly thing: for what little it’s worth, I do indeed hold more than one college degree, and my job requires considerable travel. Too much, or so it sometimes seems ... That may well make me a Roads Scholar. Not sure ... Certainly I’ve never had anything to do with the late Cecil Rhodes, or his money, or the Country Formerly Known As Rhodesia.

And you probably expected something like my sarcastic reply ...

Dear ADL,

It's not an analogy, it's an historical fact.

Much to your credit.

FU ADL!! Outside of the 6 million Jews, around 5 million Christians died in those camps. This analogy is only offensive to retarded liberals.

[pabianice]

How strange... for the eight years in which Bush was turned into Hitler by Libtards, the ACLU said... nothing.

[Delta Dawn]

That’s good to know.

[Cyber Liberty]

I’m sorry ADL, but you don’t own the franchise on being victimized by the Nazis.

First, ADL is a commie organization. The fact that they can't recognize the parallels between the gun control effort now and the stuff that happened in Nazi Germany means they are either stupid, or in on the scam. They need to remember that Hitler only starting gassing Jews and rounding up other undesirables AFTER he disarmed them, and sensible Americans are not going to wait around for part II of the gun control effort.

Second, Jews don't own WWII. Sure, they suffered disproportionately, but I lost a couple hundred thousand of my people in that war, not to mention times 2 or 3 wounded, partly in the effort to rescue those same Jews. So if I and my fellow Americans want to refer to the Nazi Holocaust as a cautionary tale for current events, we damn well will do so, and partly because we don't want to have to lose even more people pulling the likes of Foxman's worthless ass out of the fire because he was too stupid to learn from his own history.

DITTO to that !

[Mrs. Don-o]

Then what does “Never Again” mean?

[Fresh Wind]

Hey Abe, here’s a suggestion:

Why not go after George Soros, a Jew who collaborated with the Nazis during the war, and helped them implement the Holocaust?

[johnd201]

Another voice of insanity in an insane country. The truth should never be said out loud, anymore.

Is the ADL saying Hitler didn't take guns away from Jewish citizens or that we're not allowed to comment on it?

The ADL come to grips with the fact the Holocaust was also part of History - and that people are allowed to comment on History. Americans died fighting Hitler and we have the right to make sure we don't have to do that again... here - or some place else.

I'm not Russian either but I feel fine giving my opinion of Stalin and his tactics. Maybe the ADL needs a little diversity - add a conservative or two.

[FreedomPoster]

I like that! Nicely done.

[GOPJ]

The Holocaust was ended by Americans with guns in their hands, moron.

The ADL doesn't 'get it' ... Conservative American citizens including conservative Jews - are NOT interested in being victims... period.

The Anti Defamation League can go shove their request up their back side!!
