Thanks to RBHam for pointing this out....*ï

1. At least the right never called Sen. Clinton "Hitlery"

'cause if they did they would be pretty hypocritical huh?

[stevedeshazer]

2. Right

They didn't call my wife a femi-Nazi, either.

[liberalhistorian]

3. I wear that

femi-nazi label with great pride, lol!

[catzies]

9. ME TOO

Or, should I say, "Ditto?" Nah, I better not. ;)

[stevedeshazer]

13. You guys

cracked me up :-)

[Cat Atomic]

4. Holy crap. An instance of blatant conservative hypocrisy.

That's a first.

:)

[LTR]

32. THAT'S the first instance you've noticed?

You need to get out more. :)

[Loonman]

5. Sweet....should mail that to O'Reilly or Gamblin' Bill Bennett

Hannity, too.

[LisaM]

6. I was thinking about the Femi-Nazi label, too!

Rush has been calling me, and others here, a Nazi for what? 12 years?

[AlabamaYankee]

7. The comparison is inapt

As one article I came across put it, Bush* didn't build a network of death camps - only a detention camp at Guantanimo. And while both Hitler and Bush have a fondness for uniforms, to be fair Hitler at least served on active duty during wartime.

[LisaM]

8. I don't think comparing feminists to Nazis is apt, either

which is, I believe, the point of this thread (that, and other comparisons from the right). But you didn't hear any self-righteous yapping from Hannity and the RNC over THAT.

10. or as the Boondocks put it once

Hitler was democratically elected

[OhioStateProgressive]

18. Hitler was NEVER elected

he was SELECTED, APPOINTED, as chancellor of Germany as a compromise to keep him from winning the election

he was not elected

[formernaderite]

26. Not quite accurate....

Not quite, the NSDAP or National German workers Party had about 2.6% of the national vote in the late 20's. By the General Election of 32, the Nazi's achieved an electoral vote of 37.8 % or 230 of the 608 seats. Who lost? The Liberals and the Conservatives, but given that this was a parliamentary system.
By January of 33, Hitler was offered the chancellorship, constitutionally and legally by Hindenburg. He had managed to patch together a shaky coalition of the other left wing parties, and convinced Germany's remaining conservative groups ( elite agrarians etc.) that they were really not the perceived threat....Well, no one ever said conservatives were particularly intelligent.

[OhioStateProgressive]

29. i know this

this is correct...but the fact is that Hitler was appointed as chancellor...not elected President

[ThreeCatNight]

37. Neither was Shrub

He was not elected...he was installed by the Supreme Court.

[OhioStateProgressive]

38. I get the irony:)

this is why I put "selected" and "appointed" in capital letters:)

[rogerashton]

12. And while Hitler really wanted to stage an illegal

coup d'etat, he got elected legally, more or less by accident.

11. after reviewing the thread in question

I noticed far more condemning it than supporting it, and even those supporting did say it applied only to Dean's "demagoguery". Then there was this post from the guy who originally posted the image:

"Ummm...
Have you ever taken a look at DU?

This is kid stuff compared to even their light banter!

I don't represent George Bush or the Republican Party, or anyone else on FR. I'm just a guy who thinks Howard Dean's demagoguery is a lot like Hitler's.

Just take any speech from Howard Dean and replace "Republicans" with "jews" and you'll know what I'm talking about."


So aside from the interesting footnote that DU was mentioned, also he did take sole responsibility for it. So let's not start hyperventilating just yet.

[newyawker99]

14. Hi markburgess!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[markburgess]

15. thank you very much

:D

[Fozzledick]

16. Why not just tell them...

Ok, if you don't like it, why not just stop torturing political prisoners, shut down the concentration camps in Cuba and Iraq, stop disappearing American citizens into the night and fog of lawless detention, end the cover-up of what really led to 911, and end the policy of unprovoked aggressive war?

Oh, and by the way, stop using the Big Lie technique every time you open your mouth!

[Sir_Shrek]

17. Why is that picture...

...hosted by democrats.com?????

[markburgess]

19. you don't think they're just trying to frame FR do you?

:wow:

[Sir_Shrek]

20. Well, no...

...I'm trying to figure out if they posted it somewhere as a news item or something.

[stevedeshazer]

21. Hadn't noticed that

Good question.m

[Sir_Shrek]

22. Check out this Clark blog entry....

::snip::

Personally, I find Dean's campaign and methods much more "Hitler like" than anything I have seen the Repubs do so far. That may change, but the volume of extremist rhetoric coming from the radical left is certainly as great and as dangerous as that coming from the far right at the moment.

23. From the "Freeps"

"To: BillF
No, I just said feel free to send it to people who might find it funny...

I gave it to some friends of mine who are Clark supporters and they LOVED it!

[fernandovaz]

34. Clark supporters?

[Sophree]

25. Can we also take this opportunity to point out how

THIN-SKINNED the Right is? MAN, what a bunch of cry-babies.

We seem to take this stuff in stride, you know, like adults. And they seem to HOWL like WEENIES. Sorry, :nopity:

[George_Bonanza]

27. Everyone's Hitler nowadays, his name's worn out

[dustypen]

30. amen to that n/t

[wildwww2]

35. I`ll say Amen when we get Hitler out of Al Gore`s White House.

Peace
Wildman
Al Gore is My President

[lazarus]

If I may show off my own work a little. :-)

33. EXCELLENT!

Good research.

[snippy]

31. It was Turd Blossom Rove who first compared Bush to Hitler.

From Bob Woodward's book about Bush:

"The president emerged wearing a New York Fire Department windbreaker. He raised his arm and gave a thumbs-up to the crowd on the third base side of the field. Probably 15,000 fans threw their arms in the air imitating the motion.

He then threw a strike from the rubber, and the stadium erupted. Watching from owner George Steinbrenner’s box, Karl Rove thought, It’s like being at a Nazi rally." (p. 277)

The failure of the democratic party to point this out really annoys but does not surprise me.

[Endangered Specie]

36. ITs ok for them to call us commies in the mainstream...

but we can't seem to fire any nazi comparisions of the Reich wing???

typical hypocracy
