Well as has been pointed out to me there was Jewish Support for Hitler... early on...

Andy, neither Romney or anyone else in the republican party want to kill gays. Comparing Romney to Hitler and comparing people who support a US Presidential candidate to Jews in nazi Germany just doesn't make any sense.
Nothing is similar. Nothing is comparable.
Romney is not a conservative -- he's a moderate. You and others should be happy that the republican party is running a moderate for President for the second time in a row.
I don't think I'm a fool for voting my conscience. Being bisexual does not define me as a person -- I am so much more than my sex preferences. I have so many interests outside what many in here consider a club. I don't belong to a club -- I'm a person, an individual.
You don't speak for me. For example, I don't like the crap that goes on in gay pride marches -- much of it obscene from what I've seen on the Internet. Do gay pride parades describe you as a person -- is that all you are -- I honestly doubt it.
You're a person Andy, a special person, a person that is unique and not one that is defined by a group of people. I am one too. Don't be defined by a group that may not have all your best interests as an individual at heart.

Jesus Christ!! Yeah, everyone with even a passing reference to history DOES know that. Do you think they had the chance to vote for Hitler AFTER 1933??
Answer: No, because he took away their right to VOTE!!
Do you think there were Jews "voting" for Hitler in 1940 and THAT's what people are talking about? It's no wonder you can't see the legitimacy of the analogy when you can't even understand it.
No you get a F. While that was the end result and his sinister goal it was not how the Nazi party came into power. Maybe if the word Hitler was changed to Nazi political party that would be a better term? Hitler didn't achieve success as a one man army, he had plenty of help in his evil beliefs and they aided in securing power the previous decade before the first Jew, Pole, gypsy, gay, handicapped ever hit the fires.
"the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying".
—Adolf Hitler , Mein Kampf, vol. I, ch. X ,1925
^ so now romney is hitler
get your stories str8 (sorry for the pun)
Andy: "Nobody is comparing Romney with Hitler."
Jack: "You're evil because you compare Romney with hitler!"
...honestly, you can't make this shit up O.o Reading comprehension... No, make that READING fail.

As for Romney not being anti gay when Gov of MA, I give you my thread of a few days ago.
http://www.justusboys.com/forum/thre...hile-Gov-of-MA
Not exactly a PFlag member, was he?
So now we are just hilling the silt atop the tomb?
The rise of nazi Germany had more to do with how the allies treated Germany at the end of WWI. Germany was treated opposite of how the allies treated the defeated Germany and Japan after WWII. Germans are a very resilient people -- they came back from utter defeat and destruction but very mad at how France, Britain and others treated them. Hitler feed off the German people's anger -- he was the "wrong" person at the right time.
"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country." John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address, January 20, 1961
The single biggest factor bringing Hitler to power was the fear of communism. Both fed off the frustation after WWI, and the communists very nearly came power-- a mortal threat to the business owners, land owners, clergy, opposition etc. That fear drove respectable people to Hitler as the lesser of two evils.
This whole thread is disgusting.
I sincerely doubt that persons using the phrase are concerned with historical accuracy.
Have any of you watched "8: The Mormon Proposition."
There were parents whose gay son had killed themselves and who felt it was "for the best." Better dead than gay.
The most infamous kind of genocide is when you can convince people to do the job themselves. The most perverse kind of theocracy is when parents see death as best for their own children. It is easily as gruesome as any concentration camp. It is the extermination camp of the mind, of the society, of the party, of the church.
Incidentally, Mormons are far from the only demographic with blood on their hands; they are only a prominent illustrative example. There are many other nut-bar religious groups who both hypocritically proclaim salvation whilst insinuating themselves into people's psyches and then motivate them to suicide as the price of their "failure" to be a straight pious believer.
The thing is, the majority of those groups align themselves with just one party in the United States. And the good people in that party are wrong to permit it. The ends do not justify the means. It is not acceptable to count on their support because of an economic disagreement with one's political opponents. And supporting that party so long as it refuses to clean house is not something where reasonable people can agree to disagree. Supporting them is just flat unethical.
Americans need to keep their guns so they can protect themselves from gun violence just like Nancy Lanza did. And like Chris Kyle did. And like Gabby Giffords did. And like Tom Clements did.
I'm talking about your inability to follow lines of thought throughout a single post. Andy says he's not comparing Romney with hitler and in your response you're accusing him of comparing Romney with hitler. Do you know what impression that gives readers? Not good. And your old phrase is very accurate to describe it.

Both Politifact and Fact check note that while accurate the 47% figure is misleading the way Romney critics use it. Overall for his four years the figure is 47% but it was 50% when he entered office and 28% when he left so while the total figure is 47% it leaves out the context that it was improving through out his time in office. On the other paw, they also note that most experts point out that job creation in any one state is more influenced by the state of the economy in the nation as a whole than anything the state's governor does. Politifact called this claim a half-truth.
Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right. H. L. Mencken US editor (1880 - 1956)
No.
We're talking about the overall context. And that's not entirely accurate. Massachusetts was severely lacking in job creation under Romney's administration, and he left the state with a significant amount of debt. And second, he did in fact enter the governorship with a 66% approval rating... and left with less then 40%. He was unpopular and that clearly shows. People in Massachusetts can't stand the guy.
So if Jews for Hitler gets some panties in knot, how about saying that Gays voting for Romney/Ryan would be like African Americans voting for David Duke.
No, it is more like the German people have to choose between the communists and the nazis, knowing that the one or the other is likely to get control. The best defense against communism were the nazis and vice versa. Republican are nothing like the nazis, but both parties are coalitions which necessarily include some aspects which one would prefer to do with out. In the balance, the democrats are far, far, worse than the Republicans. And, yes, the democrats are something like the communists.
Do you know any "other" lines? You keep repeating "epic fail" yet the fact remains I was very clear in NOT comparing Romney to Hitler, you QUOTED it and then pretended that I WAS comparing Romney to Hitler. Rolyo pointed it out to you and all you can say to him is epic fail epic fail epic fail?
Have you given up all pretense of intellectual honesty at this point?
Erm, Repubs are to the right - the far right are fascists - what were the nazis again???
Hmmm, democrats are like communists, i'll go with that extreme, seeing as how i've linked the repubs extreme to nazis.In the balance, the democrats are far, far, worse than the Republicans. And, yes, the democrats are something like the communists.
But wait, you say democrats are far, far worse....well...i guess that'd have to depend on which you think is worse, the Cold War, or WWII.

So here we are a few days in to this shower of indignation and it occurs to me the point of the thread is to cast opponents of the republican agenda as thoughtless demagogues and petty, unhinged bullies because of a turn of phrase.
The shoe doesn't fit.
But I will put on my theocratic ass-kicking boots for long enough to level some very level-headed charge:
The US Republican Party has blood on its hands.
Indeed it has showered blood on its hands over the last 30 years. Gay blood for its indifference to AIDS under doddering Saint Reagan. Foreign blood over the "hold-my-beer" adventurist indifference to WMD evidence under the juvenile frat-boy Bush Junior, and American/Allied blood in the same conflict over Bush's inept dismissal of qualified translators and other military experts whose only supposed disloyalty was being gay and the full use of whose expertise could have perhaps landed Osama's corpse in the ocean years before. And more gay blood on Republican hands for all the pious bullying and theocratic meddling they have directed at the vulnerable gay youth in the United States. And frankly proposing Sara Palin for high office is such a gross error in judgement it beggars belief. Anyone who would consider her qualified to be in charge of the red button might as well put a mad mullah in charge. They are made from the same kind of crazy.
I'm not interested in arguing about the niceties of polite language and etiquette lessons that are equal parts Rush Limbaugh and Emily Post. I'm interested to hearing an answer to those charges, if there is one, of what the Repblican Party has done and what it planned to do. Until then Republican sympathisers can shout "Out, damned spot!" but we can see what they're trying to wash away.
Americans need to keep their guns so they can protect themselves from gun violence just like Nancy Lanza did. And like Chris Kyle did. And like Gabby Giffords did. And like Tom Clements did.
Too much stuff to answer it all. I would point out that when Palin was nominated she was far more qualified than Obama. She had been a successful Governor, while he had been a LOL "community organizer". LOL . His short period in the Senate was spent runnung for office and blindly voting the party line on every bill. He had never in his life been in s position to make actual decisions as she had as Governor.
She was Governor for half a term, in a state with less people in it than Houston,then she quit in a fit of pique because she was a big ole loser.
Stop taking that medication Ben, it's not helping.
Now of course you are going to blithely ignore Bankside, because of course, you have no leg to stand on.
Honestly sometimes I truly believe you ARE one of those redneck, fact ignoring, history inventing, religious whackjob women sent in here on some pointless quest.

Palin was a disaster and she was incredibly corrupt. Check what she did to Wasilla... her little home town... she left it with a mountain load of debt because of shitty policies regarding construction projects. She was NOT a successful governor. A horrible one actually. She left the office early because she was under an ethics investigation. And Obama has been president for 4 years. That's more experience than Romney or Palin.
http://justsaynotobs.com/Palin_by_the_Numbers.html
She left Wasilla with a $24.8 million debt burden. A town that has 6,700 residents. I feel for the people living there.
I sure hope the authorities would investigate her financial dealings... she wrecked everything she touched. Even that home town of hers.
Because he's saying things Jack doesn't want to hear. I can't decide if the right wingers in here are just desperate to keep telling themselves their favorite - ahem - tales, in order to stave off the fear of the black man, or if it's actually some kind of weird political agenda they're on to attack a demographic that they know going in they have no hope of swaying.
ATTACK OF THE LIBERAL ELITE
I listened to Governor Palin briefly on Sean Hannity’s radio program today. She related her surprise from the several days before the election 4 years ago – when she realized Obama was going to win. She suggested it was a reaction of the voters to the collapsing economy. They needed to feel secure and that Obama’s “hopey changey” message fit that situation. She related that she has matured since that time, though I think she used a different word. But regardless of her executive experience and subsequent personal growth, I still don’t think she’s ready.
