Nazis
Nazis attacked every country they possibly could
Nazis killed 6 million Jews
Nazis only believe in one race of people

The Republicans are obviously trying to use the word Nazi to frame the Democrats when in reality they are the closest thing to the Nazis we've ever had in this country. They need a new shtick.

1. Republicans depend on their followers not knowing what the word Nazi means.
Edited on Tue Oct-13-09 06:45 PM by Avalux
Just like the words Fascist, Socialist, Communist. They throw all of these words around loosely to get their followers worked up into a frenzy; they only understand those words mean something "bad". Democrats/Obama = bad; so therefore Democrats/Obama are Nazis, Socialists, Communists and Fascists.

Their shtick works fine with their faithful idiots.

2. By their logic, Hitler was a Muslim who had a deep-seated hatred for white people
and he belonged to a black church with a black preacher, married a black woman, and chose a Jew like Rahm Emanuel for his chief of staff. The parallels are striking!

3. Their brain cannot handle much beyond black and white
Hitler was bad that puts him in the black category, Obama is black so that obviously puts him in the Black category.

8. It's an old trick.
Accuse your enemy of your own crimes to deflect blame. It's on page three of the Rove playbook; and page five of the Goerring playbook.

9. It is on page one of a cheating spouse handbook.
A cheating spouse will quickly accuse their mate of cheating when in truth they are the one doing it. Put the victim on defense so they cannot be on the offense. Had it done to me for years and it quickly got to be a sign of when he was cheating and I didn't even react to it, just marked it down as one more reason to kick him to the curb.

14. Very true. They seem to escape blame for two reasons: 1) they killed their own citizens without
focusing on particular races or religions and 2) while they had large "gulags" where many were killed or died from disease or malnutrition, most of the deaths they caused were due to engineered starvation - Stalin's collectivization campaign and Mao's "Great Leap Forward" and "Cultural Revolution".

I'm not sure you can prove that Stalin and Mao knew that millions would starve to death due to their policies, (maybe they were just "unlucky" that their policies had such a bad side effect?) so many don't give them the blame they do to Hitler who constructed a civilian-killing industry.

Do you think that the gulags of Stalin and Mao killed more than Hitler's concentration camps or are you counting the millions the former two caused to starve to death (which don't seem to count for as much in the modern "blame game") through horrible and self-serving policy decisions?
