You’re right.
Not all broken windows are equal.
But these broken windows belonged to Evil One Percenters.
Apparently the rhymes and rhythms of history are lost on you.
All bad actions are not equal.
They are however all bad.
From the Occupy movement to the demonization of the rich embedded in virtually every word of our local newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle, I perceive a rising tide of hatred of the successful one percent. There is outraged public reaction to the Google buses carrying technology workers from the city to the peninsula high-tech companies which employ them. We have outrage over the rising real-estate prices which these “techno geeks” can pay. We have, for example, libelous and cruel attacks in the Chronicle on our number-one celebrity, the author Danielle Steel, alleging that she is a “snob” despite the millions she has spent on our city's homeless and mentally ill over the past decades.
This is a very dangerous drift in our American thinking. Kristallnacht was unthinkable in 1930; is its descendant “progressive” radicalism unthinkable now?
Victims of the Holocaust were murdered. No where in the text above does the author compare taxes and on the rich to victims of the Holocaust.
He is saying that vilifying a certain group to the extent that Obama and his socialist fascist supporters do is dangerous. NO ONE is comparing taxes on the rich to the Concentration Camps. Kristallnact is NOT the Holocaust. Kristallnacht foreshadowed the mentality of the people who perpetrated the Concentration Camps.

Yeah, Sakic is also a RATagandist troll who thinks we currently have a free press in the US.

In particular this paragraph exemplifies the dangerous fascist mentality Perkins was talking about.
"Driving the Republican jihad was a claim, first reported in October 2012 by Fox News, that CIA personnel had wanted to respond more quickly to the Benghazi attack but were ordered to “stand down,” perhaps by political higher-ups."
Now Republicans are compared to Muslim Jihadists. Are you kidding me? This is a dangerous mentality.
I'll see if I can find it.
(Be sure to tell sakic.)
We’ve all heard the tiresome refrain innumerable times.
Namely, the liberal mantra that Fox News is somehow biased, unfair or a mere arm of the alleged “Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy.” Never mind, of course, the equally innumerable independent studies and viewer demographic surveys demonstrating that Fox actually possesses a more evenly-balanced audience and greater objectivity than its competitors.
Despite that objective data, the Kool Aid-guzzling liberal crowd repeats this Earth-is-flat assertion.
Now, along comes the disturbing news that ABC News’s Chief Washington Correspondent George Stephanopoulos has been engaging in daily conference calls with new White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who is known as one of the most shrill and unrepentant partisans in Washington.
This news comes on the heels of Stephanopoulos’s wife’s admission last month that he dialed her on his cell phone during Barack Obama’s inaugural festivities to weep in celebration.
Media bias, anyone?
As reported by Politico reporter John F. Harris, four-party telephone calls occur every morning beginning at 6:00 a.m. between Stephanopoulos, Emanuel, former Clinton Administration hack James Carville, pollster Stan Greenberg and Paul Begala, who is perhaps the most shrill left-wing apologist in Beltway circles. The conferences, however, don’t end there. They continue during the day, discussing “what’s happening, what the implications are of what’s happening and what’s going on,” according to Emanuel.
These calls, according to the report, center not just on objective news-gathering by Stephanopoulos, but rather “policy, usually some program Democrats can use to score points in the daily partisan brawl with Republicans.”
Perhaps this news will jolt even the hysterical Fox-haters into sobriety. But for now, the real question is why Stephanopoulos remains gainfully employed as a supposedly “objective journalist” at ABC and host of its Sunday program “This Week.”
Far from expressing embarrassment at the revelation, Emanuel calls this his “17-year conference call,” which he can “tap into anytime you want.”
And lest one dismiss these conversations as mere banter between old friends, Harris notes their critical value to Emanuel by adding that, “according to Begala, the expectation of a daily call is so great that Emanuel will sometimes call him and shout impatiently, ‘I can’t talk right now!’ and then hang up.” And Carville, who presumably has sufficient other sources of political analysis and news available to him, says that “he has come to rely on the calls as his daily fixture,” according to the report.
The report proceeds to describe Stephanopoulos’s role as that of “analyst and skeptic” for the others. According to Begala, “George is really a big-systems thinker. As a journalist, he is half of a political scientist, and because he’s not in the partisan battles anymore, he sees things differently.”
Begala adds that Stephanopoulos is often the source of ideas for Emanuel, as he sometimes wonders, “was this George’s observation that Rahm tweaked?”
Noting the irony, Harris reports that this revelation “is a sensitive point for Stephanopoulos, who shot to fame as a Bill Clinton retainer, and has worked hard to fashion a reputation as an independent journalist.”
Poor, poor George. It must be such a heavy burden to concoct an image of himself as an “independent journalist” when he so obviously is not an… independent journalist.
You can compare Hitler and the National Socialists tactics and those used by Obama and the Democrats. They match. Tactic for tactic.
I watch them on youtube.com
Also doesn’t realize/doesn’t want to admit that based on the most common Holocaust statistics I’ve seen over the years (13 million total, 6 million Jews) that the Reich killed more Gentiles than Jews.
When my dad was alive he and I would watch anything to do with WW2. I am pretty sure we saw that. But I will be on the look out for it. My father survived the NAZI Occupation of Holland. He said the NAZIS were insidious. They very slowly inserted themselves in everyday life of the Dutch. Before you knew it you were completely enslaved. They Hitler’s Rise and Fall on 2/6 (dated 2005).

The journalistos were never jolted and never ashamed of their sycophant behavior.
I once said the same thing about leftists I knew. Back then I figured so what we are all Americans and chalked their foolishness up to immature idealism and left it at that.
Back then it was painful but it was live and let live - even though I felt they had done a terrible thing and sold America and her allies out to mass murder as an aftermath of their policies and aims in the Vietnam War. Most of them were too blind to really see what they were doing, I figured. Eventually most would grow up and see reality.
But that view is getting harder and harder to rationalize nowadays as the agendas of their real movers and shakers come out of the closet and their smiley masks come off. The agenda hasn't changed. It has just changed it's focus closer to home.
Of course, Lenin had a name for such "decent" and "well meaning" people whom they gulled. He called them useful idiots.
As far as I can see these days, the ultimate main difference between the present American Socialists and the defunct German National Socialists is the latter spoke German as their first language.
there is also a two word name for those who refuse to see what is before their eyes that comes out of the communist lexicon. I cannot remember what it is.
I agree 100%.
