If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth. If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.

Yep, Geobbel's would be proud of the modern day Democratic Spin Machine.

Well, I like West a lot, but I think this was not his finest hour.

I am sick and tired of all and sundry being compared to the Nazis - it serves to reduce the horror of that regime. I didn't like when Bush was called a Nazi and I don't think it helps the political discourse to raise such a comparison. The Dems are hypocritical, lying, deceiving, disingenuous, Machiavellian megalomaniacs - but they still don't reach the level of Goebbels. Not only was Goebbels the propaganda minister, he was one of the main overseers of the "Final Solution". The day after Hitler's suicide he and his wife killed their six children before themselves committing suicide.

I do agree, however, with the observation that there is a double-standard: Bush being called a Nazi was uncritically embraced by the MSM; West is publicly denounced.

But, as we are on the verge of losing the last living witnesses of the Holocaust, I am sick and tired of it being invoked for every political disagreement. The Dems are worms and behaving despicably, but even they have a long way to go the reach the depravity of the Third Reich.

After both parties collaborated on the passage of the NDAA, it would seem that they are all Sturmabteilung now.

Never apologize - it’s a sign of weakness.

The Fascists and the Nazis were both left-wing, big-government, totalitarian ideologies.

Mussolini learned his politic methodology as a member of the Communist Party. And Hitler was a conservative? I think not. Hitler and Stalin shook hands and divided Poland between them, but then fell out because they were competing for the same job—ruler of the world.

I think we need to keep pressing that obvious point.

Just as we need to press the point that the Democrats were—and still are—the party of slavery and Jim Crow, while it was the Republicans who freed the slaves and led the civil rights movement, until the Dems moved in and subverted it.

We cannot afford to let Communist liars constantly re-write history.

Remember that one of the men that Joseph Goebbels most admired was Edward Bernays, who served as the head of the new propaganda department under Woodrow Wilson. The Nazis were amazed at how Bernays and Wilson were able to manipulate people in the United States. Despite what people have been taught by the Progressive educators (propaganda???), the United States was first and foremost in the propaganda arena and Goebbels and the Nazis were a distant second.

In a side note, Bernays was the father of the “modern” art of advertising which translates to “propaganda for money”..

Hopefully he refuses to engage in their silly games of semantics. Some of these hacks have a blood lust that would put Geobells to shame.

“I beg of you to help raise the level of congressional discourse in vigorous debate without resort to personal attacks...”

Personal attacks? Conyers and his party have never been one to raise the level of discourse or vigorous debate. Did he repudiate statements made by his fellow Democrat earlier this year that there are congress members who would like to see blacks lynched? Did Politico obtain a handwritten note to that effect? Sure! /s

Truth to Democrats is the equivalent of garlic to vampires.

Where was the personal attack in West’s comment? Just another example of a dishonest word/meaning twist by a democrat. It also makes me wonder why Repubs haven’t brought West onto the National scene. I know about his commitment to his voters but these voters should not hold back a man with West’s qualifications and demonstrated backbone from a lineup of POTUSA candidates. West certainly knows where military collusion with Obama has taken this Nation. West has shown he is rock solid for the Founders intention for this Nation.

He should not only stick by his remark, but make them froth at the mouth even more by pointing out that Goebbels praised and imitated Woodrow Wilson’s propaganda efforts. (Maybe the ‘Rats are really offended that he’s giving credit to Goebbels instead of one of their own.)
