This list could go on and on....the cries of the stupidity of people like Dan Quayle, Gerald Ford (who was attacked because of his wife's substance abuse problems), Bob Dole, and Newt Gingrich to name a few. It seems eerily similar to what the Nazi's did to Poland when they killed off the most intelligent and then started making "Polock jokes" to further push the idea that Poles were stupid.
Is this guy serious? This is a joke right?
Because I would think that Joe McCarthy and the Red Scare of the 40's and 50's would be eerily similar to what the nazis did. I would think that maybe the Southern Strategy that the GOP used in the 60's would seem eerily similar to what the nazis did. Or maybe the non-stop violence against gays that the Christian right has condoned, or the constant rhetoric of liberals being anti-American or maybe the fact that any brown lookin' fella in Arizona today can be stopped by police and asked to show his papers or maybe it would be the fact that right has had a field day painting Obama as "not one of us" to the point that there is a substantial movement on the right that believes he wasn't born in the US and is not legally our President or Sarah Palin's Real or Pro America vs those anti-American areas like Chicago, Manhattan and Northern Virginia, or Ann Coulter's call to "execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too." or etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc......
None of that seems eerily similar to what the nazi's did, but questioning Sarah Palin's intelligence or flat out calling her an idiot (which, to be clear, she absolutely is) seems to be rather nazi-like to you. Got it.
