"Nazis are only good for killing."

Last edited Sun Aug 13, 2017, 06:08 PM - Edit history (3)

I had an uncle who died about 30 years ago. He grew up in a small town in Texas in the 1920’s and 30’s. Like many of his generation, he enlisted in the Army in World War II.

When I knew him, he was a kind of eccentric, pipe-smoking old dude who had a very pessimistic outlook on life. But I liked him. He lived in Austin, and when I went to college there, I spent some time with him for totally selfish college-boy reasons.

My uncle, you see, was an engineer. His proudest accomplishment was helping to design I-70 through Colorado during the Eisenhower Administration, and he did help design a very beautiful highway, as those things go. He was also a good auto mechanic, and loved working on cars. He helped me keep my old Pontiac tuned to a tee. Changed the oil and stuff for free, too, just because he enjoyed the work. I got to know him some, but he always refused to tell me about his experiences during the war.

Except for one day. I brought over a bottle of his favorite whiskey in exchange for him giving my mechanical beastie a tune up. We drank it together. And he told me some stories. They blew my ass away, and I understood why he didn’t like to talk about them.

Note: I occasionally link to posts at www.jackpineradicals.com, a left-leaning website which counts among its members DUers such as n2doc who posts the daily toons, and Judi Lynn who posts numerous LBN and other articles. I link to that website unapologetically, and will no longer be engaging in arguments with those who hate the site and attack it here.

Why is n2doc posting toons there and Judi Lynn posting LBN and articles there?

It's a left-leaning site.

No LW site would allow Hillary to be called the C word. That was applauded by one of the admins there. That admin said it was Okay to call Hill the C word as long as members did not call EACH other that.

A member from DU was banned for doing just that here on DU.

Just because the rules there are not identical to the rules on DU doesn't change the fact that it's a left-leaning site.

....................

Plus... looks like their own rules do not apply since You listed above "no sexism" and calling Hill the C word is sexist. Actually I see many of those rules you listed are not enforced...at JPR!

They also defend racist policies by Trump, such as immigration raids. They defended the Muslim ban, and she me members explicitly oppose civil rights, reproductive rights and LGBT rights.

You will see the exact same talking points there as coming out of the White House, the same stories and interpretations there as in Breitbart.

Even today they have a thread saying the Nazis are no different from the crips and bloods, a disgusting effort to equate genocide with everyday criminality. That thread mirrors the sentiment of Trump's remarks about "violence on all sides." https://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/its-time-for-white-people-to-wake-up-to-what-white-nationalists-etc-are/

This thread produced responses defending Nazis. https://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/third-way-spokesperson-makes-dig-at-bernie-bros-about-va-today/

They dedicated themselves to putting the big Trump in office. They promoted every piece of GOP and Kremlin propaganda to achieve that goal. Since the election they have defend trump, insisting criticisms and leaks are part of the "deep state." https://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/dennis-kucinich-discusses-the-deep-states-war-on-trump/
https://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/dennis-kucinich-discusses-the-deep-states-war-on-trump/
and just 2 days ago: https://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/former-mueller-deputy-on-trump-deep-state-government-is-going-to-kill-this-gu/

They are nationalist but lie to themselves and others by claiming they are "left." If they are left, then so is Breitbart because their views are identical. Like the Nazis in Virginia, they are angry about what they see as the decline of the white male middle and upper middle-class VI's a vs. other races. That white men average incomes only eight times that of AAs is not enough for them. They were furious a women dared to dared to run president, and they regularly used the most disgusting misogynist slurs to describe her.

Even now, Trump voters are welcome on the site, as are libertarians and Stein voters but defenses of Clinton or the Democratic Party are not tolerated. Anyone who shares their hatred for Democrats is welcome.

They have a picture of Heather Hayes on their site, someone who would be alive now if Clinton and the Dem party they so despise had not been defeated, with their full complicity and support.

They worked had to bring about what we are witnessing now. They put Trump in office and normalize his white supremacist support base. This is their America, and they own ever last death that results.

The Seth Rich conspiracy theory is being pushed there, and it's full of Russian appologia. I wouldn't call that left-leaning.

Case in point this vile thread.

https://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/cosmo-get-off-kamala-harriss-back/#post-732429

The left does not speak like this about liberals and Democrats. This is right wing hate at its most disgusting.

If it's a left leaning site, explain this garbage. Freeperville level of bull shit.

*For those not wishing to give such a disgusting group of RW misogynists and racists any clicks, it's the usual sexually violent racist and misogynistic stuff the Right is known for targeting Sen. Harris (and a suggestion of sexual violence), Secretary Clinton and Sen. Booker.

No left leaning site hosts people who post such things, and this is just the one thread. Anyone who has ever visited knows that this is par for the course for this RW hate site that attacks and smears Dems.

Links to this crap are just that.

Nance has gathered some of these comments in a separate thread https://www.democraticunderground.com/10028476265

... links to JPR, could you post the links to discussions about how Hillary miraculously overcame the dozen or so diseases/conditions that people there insisted she was dying of last summer?

You have to admit her complete and sudden recovery was astounding - along with the fact that while her death was imminent, she still had the strength to murder Seth Rich and run a child sex ring. That's one amazing lady, no?
