You do realize this is mocking Glenn's overuse of comparing everything liberal/socialist that he doesn't like to Nazi Germany, right?

His "over use"? The guy has been on the air since '83, and on TV since '06, and there was what, a dozen Nazi references in the clip? There's more than that in the threads on the first page of this forum. I get why the left wants to marginalize the connection though, considering they share so many of the same tenets as the National Socialist did.

Hey Knucklehead, all those references where made since Obama's been Prez so that's under a year and a half.

like many leftists, black is trivializing the holocaust and nazi germany by parodying beck's partisan agenda.

GB has drawn parallels between hitler's administration and obama.

this is not entirely inaccurate because the modern american left has a lot in common with the nazi socialist policies of germany.

im refering to economic policies. today's germany continues to use several economic policies written by hitler, as do some other european states.

also obama has defined the cult of personality, something hitler and stalin both institutionalized.

GB is right in that he has not accused any dem of being a nazi explicitly.

anyways...both are tools but the DS has gotten really old. same old jokes...endless liberal bitching...

Really hurts your credibility when you compare left to nazis. Comparing them to socialists is at least partly coherent. But which part of the spectrum invades other countries under bogus reasons? Which part is more in favor of curtailing civil liberties? Which part is less tolerant of minorities? It's not the left.

I agree. There are lot of connections to be made, but once you do it, some lefty is going to pop up and say, "So this is the same as killing 6 million Jews?!?!!" When clearly, nobody said that. Even when talking about disarming the public, we're not saying it's the same as killing Jews. We're saying it's exactly jpw leftists went about getting ready to kill all their political enemies in every country that has ever done so. I'm not saying that they're killing Jews, I'm saying they're setting up evil policy for future evil deeds.

the left has more in common with the nazis and the soviet union than the right.

the modern left has married the extremist islamist movements, who share a strong history with the nazis and the soviet union.

and yes, the left is in favor of curtailing the liberties of its opponents. silencing critics of the left, discriminating against jewish rights, etc..

look at the leftists/internationalists in europe. they are the most bigoted and racist people in the west.

Look, if Nazis were closer to left-wing they wouldn't have had their ideological war with the Soviets. Either you guys are being intellectual dishonest at this point, or, more probably, you guys are hardcore right-wing partisans who want to distance everything bad from your ideology. In either case, you really shouldn't want to come to the defense of a clown like Glenn Beck.

Hey knucklehead, that's still two years for less than 30 seconds worth of video.

The comparisons Beck made were a real stretch, so yeah, I'd say he over uses the Nazi connection. No need to get in such a tizzy over a comedian shredding Beck... relax a little.

Have you read the tenets of the Nazi Party? I've posted some here, they mirror the rhetoric the loony left spews. Until you have read them maybe you should refrain from posting about it?

Don't bore me with Nazi rhetoric from 1920. If you think that is completely reflective of nazi ideology at its height and under Hitler in the 30s and 40s, you need to keep reading more books.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism#Ideology

* Fascism - a right-wing ideology
* militarism - again something usually associated with the ring-wing
* anti-capitalist rhetoric - note the word "rhetoric" but hell I'll give you a left-wing for the hell of it
* middle and working class appeal - draw
* Racism and ultra-nationalism - more popular on the right
* opposition to homosexuality- right wing position
* church and state - draw

So you have 4 points for the right wing and 1 for the left wing.

They're both morons.

Wrong shot by a long shot. Olbermann is a partisan bound to annoy those who disagree with him, Glenn Beck really and truly IS a crazy loon MORON.

If a Jew voted for Obama in '08, did he/she just vote for his/her extermination? Now that I think about, Jews probably voted for Hitler too. Obama = Hitler!

:hmm:

Don't bore me with your Wiki ...

Read Mein Kampf if you have doubts Hitler was a socialist. Pretty much any German will tell you the same, at least the honest ones.

the only difference between the nazis and the soviets were economics.

once you put economics aside, hitler and stalin would get along way. both were authoritarians, both hated jews, both placed men and women as equals (core tenant of nazis and soviets), etc.

the american left and progressives were enamored with both nazi germany and soviet russia. if i recall joseph kennedy was a fan of both nations.

FDR was indifferent to the suffering imposed by stalin.

the right wing of today has absolutely nothing to do with the nazis.

THE LEFT is marching lock-step with homicidal muslims. the communists and fascist theocracies have married each other because they both oppose the west.

get it?

look at europe FFS. even though the left is responsible for 99% of the racism and bigotry, they continue to use the right as a scapegoat.

I said I wasn't interested in your 1920 ancient history. Why? The Nazi party changed quite a bit over time. The Nazis were fascists. Fascism is widely-recognized as being on the right-wing of the ideological spectrum. (Again, the fact you don't recognize this suggests to me you are a right-wing partisan.)

To get back to the main point of the thread, Beck is a moron with serious issues of cognitive dissonance. Are you defending him like IHateViruses was? If you are, it just confirms my suspicion that you are a hard-core partisan.

Funny that you are making the opposite point about economics than xJohnx. Maybe you guys can discuss that.

In any case, there were huge differences between fascists and communists. For god's sake they fought wars in Spain and Eastern Europe over them. It is official nazi ideology to be anti-semitic and white supremacist. Communism is an international ideology that had no such positions. Sure jews were persecuted by Russains but it wasn't on the level of the Nazis nor was it official communist doctrine.

Which is exactly why you should be concerned about parties that mirror what they were.

...so is Olbermann

Prove it. Post the freely available video evidence. We'll all be right here to judge if you even come close to proving that Olbermann is a moron.

If true, you're in big trouble with any non-velcro footwear you may attempt to put on your feet in the absence of your home care aide girlfriend, because, based on your posts and his show, he's one hell of a lot smarter than you are.
