Regarding your editorial "Censors on Campus" (Jan. 18): Writing from the epicenter of progressive thought, San Francisco, I would call attention to the parallels of fascist Nazi Germany to its war on its "one percent," namely its Jews, to the progressive war on the American one percent, namely the "rich."

Actually, Rush agrees with me. Very few times we disagree, and usually those disagreements are on minor mocks nicks ideas.
It is your contention that the idiots of Operation Wall Street are akin to Nazis?
But I have no grasp of reality or severity.
Thanks for a sensible statement amidst the stupidity some here are displaying.
Give them time; by their own admission, they want most of us dead, the rest in chains.
There were no death camps at the time of the Reichstag Fire, either.
If you had predicted them at the time, you would have been called deranged.
But you would have been right.
Yup, those brownshirts swarming the streets of America and the removal of rich people from their homes is quite chilling.
Percentagewise, it would not even be close, but what does it have to do with fleecing the rich being comparable to Kristallnacht?
Then you need very strong specs or a better sense of critical thinking.
If you are calling my father a useful idiot, you might imagine my attitude if you stood in front of me.

Class persecution starts small but once released
it tends to grow. Don’t think for a minute that
the hordes of Obama true believers wouldn’t do that
if given the green light.
Right now they don’t need brownshirts, they’ve got
the IRS but where will it end if allowed to continue?
There ARE parallels with the 1930s and the concentration
of power in the executive is one of them.
Percentagewise, what?
Third Reich: Joooz are evil, must be destroyed (along with homosexuals, Gypsies, Communists, etc, who were actually destroyed in greater numbers than the Jews)
OWS (useful idiots for the barbarians on the other end of The Won’s BlackBerry): Rich people are evil, must be destroyed.
Shouldn’t you be stamping your feet while you say that?
Where have you been since 2008?
We are not there yet but if you don’t think that this is the way Hitler started then you are beyond stupid.
Which rich people have been taken from their homes, had their possessions seized by the state, and thrown into camps.
You need not present a full list because of obvious space restrictions here, so just a couple names will suffice for you to prove your point.
When Bush and Reagan were in charge, some leftys compared them to Hitler. They were idiots.
Now we have idiots on the right being just as moronic.
Obama is a criminal inept moron. He is not Hitler. Fools who think Obama approaches Hitler in evil are paranoid and delusional.
If some of you had lived in Hitler’s Germany, you might understand what real oppression is. I have known quite a few Holocaust survivors and still know some survivors. Almost all are right-wing and every single one of them thinks comparing what is going on now with Kristallnacht is insane.
But I am sure that their opinions are far less informed than those of you convinced that Kristallnacht is here again.
Maybe if a neck was under it.
In 1933 Germany, which Jews had been taken from their homes, had their possessions seized by the state, and thrown into camps?
Oooh - you’re really tough and scary.
By “Leftist”, do you mean “fan of big government”?
If not, then what do you mean by “leftist”?
Even though I have known an lot of Jewish people in my life, I rather doubt if I know your father - probably I never met him, never talked with him, never saw anything he wrote - so I can't make a judgment on that.
Besides, it was Lenin who coined that phrase and made that judgment about a certain mindset of people. Those were the leftist radicals who willingly or perhaps unknowingly supported him and the advancement of Communism and the Soviet state for their own idealistic and mistaken ends. But their efforts helped put the real Communists in power - after which they were more than happy to eliminate them as a potential threat.
You know your father, I don't. You put the shoe on him if it fits. If it doesn't, I'm OK with that.
On the other hand, I doubt if I know you, either. But I have seen plenty of what you have written and I know a lot of other people who seem to think the way you do and their efforts (if successful) tend towards an ultimate totalitarian system which is precisely what Communism and National Socialism is all about (Islam too, but that might be another discussion). In my opinion, the shoe might fit pretty well on you just as it does on them. You may wear it proudly or uncomfortably - your choice.
But if it doesn't, you sure have a lot of convincing to do on this forum.
Kristallnacht was 1938 not 1933.
If you really believe that we are on the precipice of the rich being thrown into concentration camps, you are paranoid and delusional.
