At the risk of some bringing up Goodwin's law
we have NAZI talk now being used.

First Glenny using the Protocols of the Elder of Zion... and Der Sturmfuhrer antisemitic language... no, I don't think it is funny, and he IS a nazi... there, I said it.

Second a certain Speaker of the House (Former, yes that be Gingrich) telling us how by 2020 we will solve the Liberal Problem in this country. Now should I ask people to open history books... Rise and Fall of the Nazi Party is a good STARTING POINT, and available everywhere... this was THE LANGUAGE of the Nazi Party as early as 1923. Yes it was the Jews and the Communists and the Liberals...

So let's call spades well spades. And if anybody is willing to use NAZI like language, suffice it to say, Goodwin's Law no longer applies.

Damn history repeats itself in damn scary parallels.

Now after you open that history book realize that time is NOT on our side to fight back... and that yes, you need to even be willing to get hurt, as in for real, or perhaps die, if we are to stop this in this country.

1. I thought it was "Godwins Law".

Either way, point well taken.

2. You are correct.
And I can name off the top of my head probably a dozen instances of right wing violence in the last few years. And they have a loud fringe element organizing itself and listening to increasingly shrill voices using what is described as "eliminationist" rhetoric--suggestions not just of victory, but total victory, getting rid of the opposition, and dogwhistles to violence.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. This is pretty much the biggest reason why I am a well armed liberal.

3. Absolutely
but many folks are JUST coming aware of this... actually, ironically, thanks to Glenny's latest screed.
