The Lindsay and Crouse script provides the metaphor of the simple edelweiss wildflower as a symbol of the Austria that Captain von Trapp, Maria, and their children knew would live on, in their hearts, (wikipedia)
Habermen is a dumbass.
Hey Maggie the song was written by Rogers and Hammerstein who were Jewish for the play “Sound of Music” the flower is the national flower of Austria but the song was written by the two songsters long after world war two. As usual you are LIBERAL STUPID which seems to be a common thread!
These people see evil everywhere. Maybe they’re projecting.

> Anyone who has seen “The Sound of Music” knows that this song was an anthem IN DEFIANCE of the nazis. <
Absolutely! The song was a bold statement of freedom. Austria should remain free, and not be a part of Hitler’s Germany. Just like the song ‘La Marseillaise’ was in the movie ‘Casablanca’.
Unfortunately too many Austrians were more than happy to join the Third Reich. Most of the most brutal members of the SS were Austrian.
It’s because she can’t speak Austrian.
Herr Hitler was Austrian not German.
Maggie is a turdbrain!
Which is why they are known as “The Loony Left”
Real living Communists pose a present day threat to modern American.
But she is pretending to be concerned about fictional Nazis.
You may be right about her projecting.
Maggie’s not used to writing by herself. Most of her reporting for the NYT is done collaboratively. This snafu on her part begs the question, does her name appear in joint bylines as a token female for the paper? Is she an affirmative action hire?
> Unfortunately too many Austrians were more than happy to join the Third Reich. <
That’s true enough. But in defense of Austria, almost every nation in western and southern Europe had it’s own cadre of home-grown Nazis. Those folks just couldn’t wait to become associated with the Reich.
Austria often calls itself Hitler’s first victim. I think I’ll give them that. But perhaps there should be an asterisk after that claim.
She and the NYT are constantly sowing division yet tell everyone that Trump is the one that is dividing.
Even in the movie, it was a song that bespoke Austrian resistance to anschluss, a stance that got Georg von Trapp in trouble with the local gauleiter. In other words, it was ANTI-NAZI, you uninformed idiots!
I take it dummy Marxist Maggie Haberman was not referring to the song’s association with a patriotic, Christian family from Austria, who were persecuted by Nazis in real life. (I have a feeling the dummy Marxist also doesn’t realize Edelweiss is a type of flower... She’s complaining about an ecological song.)
Is “Mueller” a Russian name, or is it Nazi?
Indeed! :-)
What a feckless cvnt. Sheesh
It has been observed that the Anschluss occupation of Austria by the Nazis was not a rape, but a wedding.
