Targeting Mike Lindell Again, Democrats See Nazi Bogeymen Under Every Bed
American Thinker ^ | 09/26/24 | Brian C. Joondeph

Posted on 09/26/2024 2:13:56 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Children fear the dark as it is scary. They believe it’s filled with monsters and bogeymen.

As a child, I always wanted my bedroom door kept open with a light on in the hall. That way I felt safe, at least from the wild rides of my imagination.

Such irrational fears disappear when we leave early childhood, yet for some, these fantasies persist into adulthood. For adults, is this a mental illness or just a personality quirk of paranoia and irrational fear?

I speak of the political left, including the media, who as seemingly rational and functional adults, still believe a bogeyman is hiding under their beds. And that bogeyman is the Nazi, despite few of today’s scaredy-cats being alive when Nazis were a thing.

The latest example is bogeyman Mike Lindell, the MyPillow guy, Trump supporter, and election integrity advocate. While many became annoyed with his incessant MyPillow commercials, he crossed the line in progressive society by questioning the integrity of the 2020 presidential election.

For his efforts, he was rewarded with social media bans and FBI raids. Yet election integrity is not a fringe issue. Rasmussen Reports found that 62% of U.S. likely voters, “think this year’s election could be impacted by cheating.”

No stranger to controversy, Lindell has reached a new pinnacle now as a supposed Nazi dog whistler.

From the Huffington Post, busy finding a bogeyman under their bed, “Mike Lindell’s latest pillow price is being interpreted as a Nazi dog whistle.”

Huh? A pillow price is somehow a shout-out to Adolf Hitler?

MyPillow discounted some of its pillows to $14.88, and the left sees that random price ending in -88, as a Nazi bogeyman.

Here’s their reasoning.

See here:

—————-

The number “1488” is a common symbol used among hate groups. The “14” is shorthand for the “14 Words,” a stand-in for a white supremacist slogan, while “88” refers to an abbreviation of “Heil Hitler,” since H is the eighth letter of the alphabet.

____________

Who decides this stuff? The Southern Poverty Law Center of course.

They seem unaware of the basic retail convention that a price tag end in .88 is a very common retail inventory identifier for closeout and limited stock items, and is frequently seen at Costco, WalMart, and many others).

But now with Lindell using it, it’s a Nazi dog whistle.

What else, numbers or words, are Nazi dog whistles?

Jewish folks should be outraged when the term is used in such a silly and meaningless way.

Every time it is, it takes away from the horror the word should invoke

Never purchased anything from him prior to Nov. 2020

Saw he is very ardent patriot, willing to put his neck on the line against the American woke Gestapo and all its cronies.

I like his company’s big fluffy bath towels. Now I purchase a couple times a year, as gifts.

Hobby lobby has started carrying OXO Good Grips kitchen tools, something I would have had to buy at Bed Bath & Beyond. They’ve expanded their decor selection to cover quite a few items BBB used to carry, mostly things that consumers want to see and inspect before purchasing.

No MyPillows yet.

“Crew” is also a Nazi slogan according to the SPLC.

I thought that we were now supposed to use the word "crew" instead of "men," as "crew working" is replacing "men working" on road repair warning signs. And we're now supposed to say "crewed," as in "crewed satellite" instead of "manned satellite." Looks like the PC police who forced these changes haven't kept up with the party line.

Someone on the Left came up with this--probably the same one who claims that the "OK" hand sign with the index finger touching the thumb is somehow a Nazi symbol.

88 is also the caliber of a very effective German bangy thing in WW2. It could be pointed vertically to hit planes, or leveled out to make loud noises on the ground.

Ok, so they can see THAT as nazi. But they can see parades in Ukraine with torches, carrying giant Bandera posters, and open nazism in the Uke Army... they can watch Latvian SS verterans being celebrated annually....and they just cant find Nazism there.

Yes, they're projecting themselves onto the innocent.
