In 1994, Vancouver Canucks fans broke store windows. Guess that was Kristallnacht, also.
I am against raising taxes on the rich but portraying a billionaire unhappy with taxes to victims of the Holocaust in any way is as stupid as anything that comes out of the mouth of a liberal.
Some of you, in zeal, come off as a bit off. All bad actions are not equal.
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.
