... it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." ---- Hermann Goering
The claims being made here are almost comical. I wonder where all the outrage was when the liberals were putting Hitler mustaches on Bush. How duplicitous.

I don't see an issue using the term "Nazi". It is a comparison of things that have happened in the past (history) is it not? How can we learn from our mistakes as human beings, if we bury the past?
Pulling the Nazi card ... or pulling the Hitler card ... are VERY serious. If someone pulls it, then it had better be a very serious situation and they'd better be very sure of the information. Yelling 'Nazi' or 'Hitler' is like yelling 'FIRE!' in a crowded theatre ...
At least that's the construct I have of it all ...

How is it serious if it is an accurate comparison?
What I find more serious are those whom are in denial of the fact things are getting that close to even make the comparison!

If you think it is an accurate comparison then you know as much about Nazi Germany as Carson. And that is you know nothing. Carson is just loudmouth homophobe that likes to see his name in print. He is the perfect example of a stupid smart person.

Why in the WORLD does it ALWAYS have to be reduced to Liberals versus Conservatives or Democrats and Republicans?
When are we going to see past that garbage and look at the facts?

Hillary Clinton - Putin is Like Hitler
edit on 12-3-2014 by burntheships because: (no reason given)
"She [Clinton] compared issuing Russian passports to Ukrainians with ties to Russia with early actions by Nazi Germany before Hitler began invading neighboring countries," Saltzgaver told BuzzFeed. "She said, however, that while that makes people nervous, there is no indication that Putin is as irrational as the instigator of World War II."
Are you suggesting that our current situation (via NSA et. al.) is comparable to East Germany's Secret Police?
How? In what ways is what I'm asking? Merely symbolically or philosophically? Are we at the early stages?

Now you're just being racist!
(apologies, just HAD to use an Obamanism. )
But congrats to the GOP it looks like they found their replacement for Allen West as the mandatory crazy black guy
"Now if this sounds familiar, it's what Hitler did back in the '30s," Clinton said Tuesday
"There comes a time when people with values simply have to stand up. Think about Nazi Germany," he said. "Most of those people did not believe in what Hitler was doing. But did they speak up? Did they stand up for what they believe in? They did not, and you saw what happened."
