Do these fools know that Hitler was a Nazi, NOT a Communist?

[tarheelsunc]

Al Sharpton just showed a billboard saying "Comrade Obama" with the hammer and sickle, and a pic of Obama combined with Hitler. They apparently don't know what comrade even refers to. Freaking idiots.

[MADem]

1. Why don't be silly! Everyone in the Tea Party knows that

Commie is a synonym for Nazi, which is a synonym for Socialist!

[JoePhilly]

2. They don't care which scary word you apply to Obama, just so you apply ONE

of those scary words to Obama. Its a hate-buffet. The GOP lays out the hate terms, and the nut jobs select their favorites ... and then scream them at the top of their lungs.

[JaneyVee]

3. Hitler HATED commies.

[kwolf68]

6. DinG!!!

What the right wing idiots are doing is trying to paint Hitler and Stalin both as Marxist Liberals, and by extension socialists.

The way to defeat this argument (such that it can be with mental invalids) is to ask them WHAT GROUP was the biggest opposition to Hitler?

The answer choices are

A-Leftists, socialists
B-Tea Party members

The answer is NOT "B".

[Kindly Refrain]

4. Commie Nazis

[Siwsan]

5. They don't think. They just regurgitate what they hear on faux and right wing radio

A little from Beck, a little from Limbaugh, a pinch or three from the lunatics on faux news does just enough brain pickling to produce that kind of idiocy.

[Jackpine Radical]

7. On Bizarro World (which I think orbits the planet Kolob),

Hitler was a socialist. The proof: Nazi is a shortening of "National Socialism" (Nationalsozialismus). Disregard the fact that the word "socialism" was just tagged on because socialism was popular on the Continent between the wars. Disregard the fact that the Nazis & Communists were bitter enemies. Disregard the fact that Nationalsozialismus was a blend of fascist (corporate-state) ideology and racist doctrine that the American Republican Party more closely resembles with every passing day.

Disregard all that stuff, and OF COURSE Obama is a Nazi Communist.

On Bizarro World.

[Cirque du So-What]

8. I've heard some RWers suggest

that Hitler was a leftist, owing to the full name of the nazi party: National Socialist...and the ignoramuses eat it up.

[TDale313]

10. Yeah, I've heard that bs too.

Who needs facts in rw world?

[Warren Stupidity]

9. For the last two decades or so, the right has been pushing

Their false revisionist theory that Germany's National Socialist Party, the Nazis, were leftists. They "prove" this by pointing the easily fooled to the word "socialist". They have repeated this nonsense so much that it is now widely accepted on the right.

[tarheelsunc]

12. They look ignorant every time they try to make that case

The Nazi party, regardless of its name, was fascist. If all they can point out is the party's name, then it shows they didn't study their history very well.

[Drale]

11. Of course they don't

and they also don't know that Nazi's and Communists are mortal enemies.

[HopeHoops]

13. Muslim, communist, socialist, Nazi, turd blossom, fascist - the wingnuts don't understand anything.

They just run all the terms together. And FOX just frames it (pretending it's news) as a question, "Could Obama be a Muslim communist socialist Nazi turd blossom fascist?"

The irony here is that FOX is doing exactly what Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Castro, and everything else they claim to hate did. Murdoch is the current threat to the world, not Soros. We live in a country filled with ignorant slobs who can't wipe their own asses without assistance. The cable network is full of bullshit and finding anything you can call "news" is a challenge. Newspapers are dying a horrible death and the on-line versions suck moose cock. I don't take a laptop into the bathroom. I want a fucking newspaper. Okay, call me old school if you want, but ignorance is becoming the dominant force in this country and that's how fascism rises to power. Mark my words, if rMoney steals this one, the country will have died.

[AllieO]

14. Rove and Mien Kampf

I've have found it horrifyingly fascinating that Rove's campaign playbook for Dubya and the Rmoney campaign strategy is essentially lifted from Mien Kampf - just blast your message repeatedly at the lowest level of society, it doesn't matter if it is true, just tell them what to think - don't worry about the educated, intelligent factions, they aren't big enough in number to matter. Just imagine what would happen if the Tea Baggers realized or could understand how they'd been duped and fed the hate-filled name-calling using a Nazi strategy!

[Posteritatis]

15. Most people who accuse everything of being communist...

...basically define "communist" as "whatever I happen to dislike."

[Mr.Bill]

16. They don't even know the difference between the two.

Just ask them to define whatever label they put on the President - communist, socialist, nazi, etc. I have yet to meet one of them that can give the proper definition of these labels.

17. The best one was the clown that said

"Obama wants to be a Marxist dictator like Hitler"
All I cold think of when I saw that was
