Not the best way to show people you aren't a fringe, right-wing radical group......

but you do have to admit there are a lot of similarities

[BobombETA]

You would think people from Iowa would like the Hitler comparison.

Aggressive...

... and ignorant.

Fear is a great marketing tool. For tools.

The same reason I hate the evening TV news.

If it wasn't for a robbery, rape, theft (you get my point) the news stations wouldn't have anything to say. I feel like they want to keep the masses in fear?!?!

You should call your company FEAR Breaks! Because they are made by a tool!

Uhhh this is right wing but there is nothing radical about it unless speaking out against an oppressive government with a wacko agenda is considered radical. This administration uses fear and race with reckless abandonment to get their way. I know lets not say/do anything and maybe this problem will go away!!

Gassing six million Jews>Passing a health care bill
Invading Europe>Announcing a withdrawal date


Sure I see the comparison.

Study about 20 to 30 years earlier and come back.... Compare how our current state of affairs are with the ones before WWI and WWII in their countries. Look at the rally cries, and fear spread amongst their political rise.

Hitler, nationalized the auto industry, banking industry, health care industry, divided people by race, and all done by fear.......

This administration? What about the last one? Their central message: "BE AFRAID. THE TERRORISTS ARE COMING. Please give up many of your rights so that we can keep you afraid. Thank you."

Let's see....The Nazi propagandist Goebbels said:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”


"Saddam Hussein was a player in 9/11"
"We know he has WMD"
"We had no warning on 9/11"
.....and on and on and on......

He also stated:

“Intellectual activity is a danger to the building of character”


This idea is trumpeted by Right Wing Evangelicals. Distrust science. Embrace the "faith" we feed you, or else you will burn in hell, because HELL IS REAL. This is real Dark Ages stuff. If people are smart, they're not as easily led. Interestingly, this is exactly the same tactic used by the Taliban.

Hitler said:

"The broad masses of the people are not made up of diplomats or professors of public jurisprudence nor simply of persons who are able to form reasoned judgment in given cases, but a vacillating crowd of human children who are constantly wavering between one idea and another. (...) The great majority of a nation is so feminine in its character and outlook that its thought and conduct are ruled by sentiment rather than by sober reasoning."

Rush? Hannity? Beck? Rumsfeld? Cheney? Seems they understand Hitler's ideas perfectly.
