Tea Party + Nazis = HATE (pic)

[Kadie]

An anti-racism protester holds up an anti-Tea Party placard behind a LAPD police line as members of the neo-nazi group, The American National Socialist Movement hold a rally in front of the Los Angeles City Hall, on April 17, 2010. Police in riot gear formed a line in front of a crowd of about 500 counterprotesters who gathered at City Hall today to protest the white supremacist rally. About 70 members of the National Socialist Movement, many wearing black uniforms, attempted to stage a rally, but were largely outshouted by counterprotestors.

1. Don't most things equal hate when added to Nazis?

Morning pee + Nazis

Grocery store + Nazis

Stroll through the park + Nazis

2. Good point.

[Kadie]

3. True.

4. Actually, morning pee is a well-known Nazi neutralizer.

Try it sometime.

6. The only number with that property would be zero, so....

Instead of adding Tea Parties and Nazis, we should multiply them.

It also means you can't divide the Nazis from the Tea Party, or they would become infinitely large.

5. I think the Nazis believe that the Tea Partiers are

too liberal ... they "embrace" minorities ... and if the TPers ever can find one in their crowd, they'll make sure the media gets a picture of him or her ...

7. Why do they have "Socialist Movement" in their name.? I thought

tea baggers and nazi's were against socialism and communism.

10. The socialist parties of Weimar era Germany did not use the German word

"sozialistische" in their party names, so rendering the word in English as "socialist" reflects some translation issues, but it also reflects a deliberate propaganda choice. The (centrist) socialist party called itself the Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD - German Social Democratic Party); in an attempt to siphon votes from them, Julius Streicher formed a Deutschsozialistische Partei (DSP - roughly, German "Socialist" Party) which had no actual socialist agenda but was virulently anti-Semitic in character. In 1920, the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (DAP - German Workers Party, the original core of the Nazi party) renamed itself the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP - National Socialist German Workers Party) as part of an effort to collect membership from the German rightwing, and Streicher's DSP eventually dissolved itself into the NSDAP. These name games reflected some of the political realities of Germany after WWI: the country had initially collapsed into a state of crisis, marked by an ongoing conflict that included the Spartacists' attempt at revolution, its suppression by rightwing remnants of the military, and subsequent rightwing coup efforts like the Beerhall Putsch. In the context of the highly fragmented Weimar political landscape, the Nazis attempted to destabilize the SPD centrist coalition with street violence while simultaneously misleading the public about their actual agenda, by using almost anyone who willing to speak in public as a Nazi speaker in this or that small town, most of these folk, of course, being dropped as the Nazis consolidated power

Tea Partiers = Hate
Nazis = Hate

Therefore, Tea Partiers + Nazis = 2xHate.
