So, these ELF, people, engaged in censorship of radio stations, commits and act of "vandalism" when they do this, eh? Vandalism? Yeah, and the murdering of all those jews, gypsies, and slavs was merely "the final solution"......

Nerfherder,

I know this is difficult for you, but I'm a teacher, and I'm patient....

The point was not about Obama...it is about the propensity of progressive press-types to blandly understate crimes committed on behalf of the Greater Good of Humanity, as described by whomever the current Fuhrer is, be that Bismark, Roosevelt, Wilson, Hoover, Roosevelt, Johnson, or the current light-weight, grade-hiding, face-man....

I'm sure there were similiar understatements when jews were shipped off by the trainload, or when millions died for The Cultural Revolution in China....it's all the same mindset, and many here share it....Now, do you?

726,

Ahh, your'e back! Learned anything yet?

Frank55,

No, I don't like or often think about Hitler, although I did see a show today that pointed out that the SA, Hitler's original Brownshirts, where run mostly by homosexuals...irrelevant, but a further link between him and the Left...from which he came....

Lefties, on the other hand, usually pull Hilter references out to hurl against "righties" in an effort to cover up the fact that they have no ideas or understanding of history. I merely chose for today's lesson to pull out, in a variety of contexts, that Hitler was one of them.....As you can see from the posts today, they react in typical, knee-jerk, and still historically-ignroant fashion.....

Nerherder,

I did not say Hitler was a homosexual...indeed, there is no evidence he was. He was, however, patently not against them until it was politically necessary. However, Erst Roehm, his oldest friend, and head of the Brownshirts, was, as were most of the officers in the SA, which Hitler defended long after Goring and Himmler started pushing to get rid of Roehm and the SA...eventually, they did, because Roehm, who considered Hitler a "traitor to the cause", was plotting a coup...

Of course Hitler, being an artist, was generally disposed very comfortable within the community.

Hitler also had jewish blood in his ancestry...I think we know how he treated them. This is why he resisted marriage, and refused to have children....

AILTD,

Hitler kept Roehm alive and in power for at least two years after the SS and the army wanted him dead and gone. Eventually, like all ambitious politicians, he threw his long-time friend overboard, after discovering that his long-time friend was plotting to take his 4.5 million man militia (kind of like our Fuhrer is asking for) and take over Germany....Now those are the facts....My point is that the myth of Hitler as the reactionary, right-wing, lefty-hating maniac is more than a bit twisted...by progressive writers....they were right about the maniac part, though......It took them until 1936 or so to figure it out, though.....

CJK85,

Ahh, when you have no facts...label...worked for Lenin! Come to think of it, it worked for Hitler too!
