Shortly before the election, Pat Oliphant published the following cartoon.

Yes, they are shameless (although I must say that this cartoon is unintentionally funny), but they are also paranoids.

People don't follow the tinfoil hat crowd.

Be Seeing You,

Did you check out the website this came from? I think we've found the nest!

[visualops]

So the Modus Operandi is just write whatever you want people to think and pretend it's the truth?

[section9]

As an aside, Oliphant's little Hitler in the bottom right hand corner is priceless.

Be Seeing You,

Jim, I respectfully request permission to indulge in a really good mix of profanity as a response to this article.

[finnman69]

Let's nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to besure.

[headsonpikes]

Hey, you can't post from The Onion, anymore!

[Newzilla]

Also, a little known fact is that Arnold, every member of the Bush family, Herr Hitler and oddly enough, Shania Twain all have been observed breathing ... hmmm.

[MEG33]

Bad..even for Oliphant.The first Dem talking point is that the recall and election of a Republican boded ill for Bush(HUH!)Is the "under the radar" talking point the Nazi claim?Despicable.

Caleeefornia UBER ALLES!

Here is a picture of the real Nazi President of America!

The above painting was in the private quarters and over the private sink of Herr Adolph Clintoon in the White House Jan 1993 to Jan 2001.

Communism and Facism are not distant cousins, far left and far right, but bloddy brothers of the left.

[BigBobber]

Often ignored are the Bush family's post-World War II dealings with former Nazis. John Foster Dulles, who had worked with the Bush family in the Harriman Company in laundering money for Nazi Germany, was Dwight Eisenhower's Secretary of State. His brother Allen became CIA director.

Right, the CIA is a bunch of Nazis.

Karl Rove has parallel ties. ... According to some published reports, as many as seventy CIA operatives have been put at risk by Rove's retaliatory strike.

Wait. Outing CIA operatives is good, right? Because they are Nazis? Or is that bad? Is there a good CIA and a bad CIA?

It's just so confusing. Thankfully, we have papers like this to tell us how to think.

Wasn't Joe Kennedy a Nazi sympathizer ? That would be Arnold's grandfather-in-law. They conveniently left him off the list.

Shortly after writing this bilge, Wasserman was captured by the police and returned to the state mental hospital where he had escaped from.

[visualops]

He bought and profited off Nazi stocks.

A Little Secret About the Nazis (They were left-wing socialists like the modern left of today)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/630472/posts

A Little Secret About the Nazis. They were left-wing socialists.

Yes, the National Socialist Workers Party of Germany, otherwise known as the Nazi Party, was indeed socialist, and it had a lot in common with the modern left. Hitler preached class warfare, agitating the working class to resist ``exploitation'' by capitalists -- particularly Jewish capitalists, of course. Their program called for the nationalization of education, health care, transportation, and other major industries. They instituted and vigorously enforced a strict gun control regimen. They encouraged pornography, illegitimacy, and abortion, and they denounced Christians as right-wing fanatics. Yet a popular myth persists that the Nazis themselves were right-wing extremists. This insidious lie biases the entire political landscape, and the time has come to expose it.

Richard Poe, editor of Frontpage Magazine, sets the record straight:

Nazism was inspired by Italian Fascism, an invention of hardline Communist Benito Mussolini. During World War I, Mussolini recognized that conventional socialism wasn't working. He saw that nationalism exerted a stronger pull on the working class than proletarian brotherhood. He also saw that the ferocious opposition of large corporations made socialist revolution difficult. So in 1919, Mussolini came up with an alternative strategy. He called it Fascism. Mussolini described his new movement as a ``Third Way'' between capitalism and communism. As under communism, the state would exercise dictatorial control over the economy. But as under capitalism, the corporations would be left in private hands.

Hitler followed the same game plan. He openly acknowledged that the Nazi party was ``socialist'' and that its enemies were the ``bourgeoisie'' and the ``plutocrats'' (the rich). Like Lenin and Stalin, Hitler eliminated trade unions, and replaced them with his own state-run labor organizations. Like Lenin and Stalin, Hitler hunted down and exterminated rival leftist factions (such as the Communists). Like Lenin and Stalin, Hitler waged unrelenting war against small business.

Hitler regarded capitalism as an evil scheme of the Jews and said so in speech after speech. Karl Marx believed likewise. In his essay, ``On the Jewish Question,'' Marx theorized that eliminating Judaism would strike a crippling blow to capitalist exploitation. Hitler put Marx's theory to work in the death camps.

The Nazis are widely known as nationalists, but that label is often used to obscure the fact that they were also socialists. Some question whether Hitler himself actually believed in socialism, but that is no more relevant than whether Stalin was a true believer. The fact is that neither could have come to power without at least posing as a socialist. And the constant emphasis on the fact that the Nazis were nationalists, with barely an acknowledgment that they were socialists, is as absurd as labeling the Soviets ``internationalists'' and ignoring the fact that they were socialists (they called themselves the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). Yet many who regard ``national'' socialism as the scourge of humanity consider ``international'' socialism a benign or even superior form of government.

According to a popular misconception, the Nazis must have been on the political right because they persecuted communists and fought a war with the communists in Russia. This specious logic has gone largely unchallenged because it serves as useful propaganda for the left, which needs ``right-wing'' atrocities to divert attention from the horrific communist atrocities of the past century. Hence, communist atrocities have received much less publicity than Nazi war crimes, even though they were greater in magnitude by any objective measure.

R. J. Rummel of the University of Hawaii documents in his book Death by Government that the two most murderous regimes of the past century were both communist: communists in the Soviet Union murdered 62 million of their own citizens, and Chinese communists killed 35 million Chinese citizens. The Nazi socialists come in third, having murdered 21 million Jews, Slavs, Serbs, Czechs, Poles, Ukrainians and others. Additional purges occurred in smaller communist hellholes such as Cambodia, Vietnam, North Korea, Ethiopia, and Cuba, of course. Communism does more than imprison and impoverish nations: it kills wholesale. And so did ``national socialism'' during the Nazi reign of terror.

But the history of the past century has been grossly distorted by the predominantly left-wing media and academic elite. The Nazis have been universally condemned -- as they obviously should be -- but they have also been repositioned clear across the political spectrum and propped up as false representatives of the far right -- even though Hitler railed frantically against capitalism in his infamous demagogic speeches. At the same time, heinous crimes of larger magnitude by communist regimes have been ignored or downplayed, and the general public is largely unaware of them. Hence, communism is still widely regarded as a fundamentally good idea that has just not yet been properly ``implemented.'' Santayana said, ``Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'' God help us if we forget the horrors of communism and get the historical lessons of Nazism backwards.

The Nazis also had something else in common with the modern left: an obsessive preoccupation with race. Hitler and his Nazis considered races other than their own inferior, of course. Modern ``liberals,'' who vociferously oppose the elimination of racial quotas, seem to agree. They apparently believe that non-white minorities (excluding Asians, of course) are inferior and unable to compete in the free market without favoritism mandated by the government. Whereas Hitler was hostile to those racial minorities, however, modern white ``liberals'' condescend benevolently. Hitler's blatant and virulent form of racism was eradicated relatively quickly and very forcefully, but the more subtle and insidious racism of the modern left has yet to be universally recognized and condemned.

The media often focuses its microscope on modern neo-nazi lunatics, but the actual scope of the menace is relatively miniscule, with perhaps a few thousand neo-nazis at most in the United States (mostly ``twenty-something'' know-nothings). The number of communists and communist sympathizers in the United States dwarfs that figure, of course -- even among tenured professors! And while the threat of neo-nazi terrorism is indeed serious, the chance of neo-nazis gaining any kind of legitimate political power anywhere is virtually zero. That is why the ACLU can safely use them to advertise its supposed commitment to free speech. Neo-nazi rallies incite violence, but they do not persuade bystanders to join their cause! If they did, the ACLU would have nothing to do with them.

LOL, that is sooo funny, I am enjoying liberals these days, they are like clowns that make semi-intelligent jokes, witty and clever. How many liberals can you fit in a VW??? Honk Honk

[visualops]

All you need to remember is the lefties know all the secret secrets and everyone else is a pawn of the right-wing wacko world-dominating imperialist monarchy.
