The New Kristallnacht?
The Wall Street Journal ^ | 1/24/14 | Tom Perkins

Posted on 01/26/2014 8:28:19 AM PST by sakic

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."

A number of Jews in the beginning thought they were safe, because Hitler was only going to go after “the bad Jews.”

Kinda like the cops can do no wrong crowd on this forum, isn't it?

And you are correct. Europe had a long history of Jew hatred. I once read that in some areas, Jews were forbidden to own land.

Thanks for your response.

Interesting, Rush is talking about this op-ed right now on his show.

So sakic, tell me, will you accuse Rush of being an idiot also for daring to agree with the guy?

The extermination comparison is very appropriate since Leftists have already supported and carried out the killing of those they do not approve of for over 40 years.

There is not a leftist in existence that doesn’t want to see conservatives and anyone that opposes them

punished and exterminated by the State.

I defy anyone to contradict that.

Yes.
“Knockout “games” “?

Harassment and Government Subjugation?

It is incomprehensible that it could happen again.

What’s surprising to me is, few Americans detect the obvious Fascist tendencies of this administration.


I think the liberals view what is happening as socialism which they think is a good thing.

When I ask libs why they hate big business and not big government, they tell me they can vote with govt. They are delusional....................

Accelerate Application Performance with the Cisco UCS Invicta Series

Perkins compared Kristallnacht, not the Holocaust, but Kristallnacht to the current progressive left's war on the "One Percent". Have we already forgotten all of the windows of banks and businesses broken by Occupy Wall Street protesters?

Let me remind you:

Have we already forgotten OWS protesters trespassing on, and attacking the homes of bank executives, while their family cowered inside, and the police, out of fear, did nothing?

Progressive Kristallnacht? It already happened. Perkins mistake was waiting two years to write this. Now we are on to phase two, which is Obama and Holder rounding up Dinesh D'Souza while Andrew Cuomo rounds up James O'Keefe and talks about conservatives like the Third Reich talked about Jews.

The New Kristallnacht?

How about the Obama Administration smashing the windows of small businesses all over the country...using the EPA and the IRS? Isn't that closer to the true spirit of Kristallnacht?

No, I am operating under the assumption that trying to collect more taxes from the rich is a far cry from physically destroying people’s businesses as part of a program to destroy people.

Did I say that? Failure to stay on topic is the mark of losing a debate.

Yes, Rush is an idiot for agreeing that there is a parallel between overtaking and physically attacking people and putting them out of business.

Do you agree with everything Rush says? He is a human being, not the god some think him to be.

My father was a leftist who wanted no one exterminated.

Look!

Broken shop windows!

Kind of like Kristallnacht!

Oh!

Wait!

This is in broad daylight.

No comparison at all.

Never mind.

I saw a broken window last week. Must have been Kristallnacht.

I love simpleton reasoning.

In 1994, Vancouver Canucks fans broke store windows. Guess that was Kristallnacht, also.

I am against raising taxes on the rich but portraying a billionaire unhappy with taxes to victims of the Holocaust in any way is as stupid as anything that comes out of the mouth of a liberal.

Some of you, in zeal, come off as a bit off. All bad actions are not equal.
