Reply #139: why all this sucking up to the right wing?

[provis99]

"Don't call them Nazi's..it makes us look foolish" Well guess what? The right-wing already says we're foolish. f we don't call them Nazis because they might not take us seriously, than not only are we foolish, we are weaklings for caring what the right wing says. So why not call them Nazis? It makes me feel good to insult them this way, so that's why I do it. As for the idea that calling someone a Nazi belittles the Holocaust, well pay attention to Israeli politics. Israeli politicians often call their opponents Nazis. I remember a poster of Yitzak Rabin paraded around Jerusalem with him dressed as a Nazi, because Likud supporters disagreed with his peace plan. They didn't literally mean he was a Nazi; it was just the most insulting thing they could think of.

So, I will proudly continue to call the right wing Nazis whenever they piss me off. Or just fascists, when I feel in a more conciliatory mood.
