While I was driving my cab yesterday I heard Rush Limbaugh say that up to the Holocaust Hitler and the Nazis were Leftists.

I have to disagree.

Marx was a raving antisemite. Old school Progressives (the one they NEVER teach you about in the public schools) had "issues" with those they saw as the "inferior" races. (Africans, Jews, Asians, etc.) And eliminating those who don't fit into the collective makes perfect sense to a collectivist.

I've come to the conclusion that anyone who sees another person as either a tool to be used, or as trash to be disposed of, is essentially a Leftist. (Which pretty much puts me to the right of Attila the Hun.)

The Anatomy of Fascism

Fascism has elements of the right and the left, which is why rightists see leftism, and leftists see rightism. But it is based mostly on nationalism, which is right-wing. Other elements come and go because fascism is quick to adopt any tactic which will bring them power, and quick to drop any tactic that prevents them from acquiring power.

Ah yes. The Jonah Goldberg school of hyper partisan revisionist ideologies as endorsed by Human Events, Newsmax, and the Moonie Times. Communists are left wing. Nazis are left wing. And everything that is right wing is pure as the driven snow. Everything that is evil is left wing. Atheism is left wing and therefore evil and other such nonsense.

That was before the switched parties. They were Dixiecrats. All of them switched to the Republican Party or got voted out of office.

Democratic Party didn't mean left wing at that time. In fact, for the majority of cases even today they're not all decidedly left wing.

Strom Thurmond was a Democrat and switched to the Republican Party.

Which is not to say there is anything wrong with the Republican Party. They just got polluted by these cretin and the televangelical pandering theocrats during the 1980s.

2 down dings for pointing out the fatuousness of comparing the President to the Nazis.

Fascism can be either left wing or right wing. Or as in the Merriam Webster definition: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control. The same with a dictatorship which can be both. There is also sometimes a mixture of the two between left and right. The 3rd Reich were also political opportunists and often weaved a path between leftist and rightist idealism.

re: #54 lazardo

The one thing I don't get though is how National Socialism is somehow on the other side of the political spectrum from the Internationale.

As has been discussed here before, the whole left-right dichotomy comes from a time when the old monarchy/theocracy system was being compared to democracy (or popular rule.) Trying to force later developments like the German National Socialist party and the Communist Party in various European countries into the right-left dichotomy is due to fail at some point.

In the old sense of the term, the "true" "right" today would be the theocrats in places like KSA, or in countries where the monarchy still has power (like Thailand.)

Ultimately the attempt by the ugly-o-sphere to smear the President as being simultaneously a Nazi and communist will peter out, I think, as people will just tire of the name calling.

What President Obama believes in is apparently a slightly more European flavor of socialism than the currently practiced but we-dare-not-name-it American form of soft socialism.

pimf "departed"

I see that I have to do this yet again (may Jonah Goldberg be beaten about his wispy mustache with the soles of soiled sandals!):

Communism, fascism and theocracy are all variants of collectivist totalitarianism - that's what they have in common.

Where they differ is in the rationale by means of which they justify state control over individuals.

Communism justifies it in the name of the erasure of class distinctions.

Fascism justifies it in the name of racial purity, supremacy, and exceptionalism.

Various and sundry theocracies justify it in the name of some supposedly divinely revealed scriptural revelation or other.

Notice the 'National" part; this is because fascisms in general, being justified by racial supremacy, tend to be blood-and-soil movements, and thus tied to a particular tribal homeland geography. Sure, they'll conquer other geographies and the races found there, but always with an eye to first subjugating them, and then exterminating and supplanting them with the One Pure Blood, because people cannot change their races.

Communism and the various theocracies, otoh, are international in their ambitions, because people of all races can be religiously or politically/ideologically converted, and extermination is reserved for those obdurate individuals of any race who stubbornly refuse to be proselytized or re-educated into the One True Faith or the One True System.

And the reason the German labor leaders fled pre-war Germany was? And what religion were most of these labor leaders? This also doesn't take into account two things: the Nazis played labor for populist cohesion. At the same time, those at the pinnacle of the Nazi hierarchy was the military society and, production. While it was based highly on the ingroup, ones standing within a Nazi hierarchy was paramount and there was no effort to create a collectivist equality between citizens which is a common factor with a leftist ideology.

Persecution of homosexuals in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust

In the 1920s, homosexual people in Germany, particularly in Berlin, enjoyed a higher level of freedom and acceptance than anywhere else in the world. However, upon the rise of Adolf Hitler, gay men and, to a lesser extent, lesbians, were two of the numerous groups targeted by the Nazi Party and were ultimately among the roster of Holocaust victims. Beginning in 1933, gay organizations were banned, scholarly books about homosexuality, and sexuality in general, were burned, and homosexuals within the Nazi Party itself were murdered. The Gestapo compiled lists of homosexuals, who were compelled to sexually conform to the "German norm".

An estimated 1.2 million men were homosexual in Germany in 1928 (6% of men over the age of 20). Between 1933-45, an estimated 100,000 men were arrested as homosexuals, of which some 50,000 were officially sentenced. Most of these men served time in regular prisons, and an estimated 5,000 to 15,000 of those sentenced were incarcerated in concentration camps. It is unclear how many of the 5,000 to 15,000 eventually perished in the camps, but leading scholar Ruediger Lautman believes that the death rate of homosexuals in concentration camps may have been as high as 60%. Homosexuals in the camps were treated in an unusually cruel manner by their captors, and were also persecuted by their fellow inmates. This was a factor in the high death rate for homosexuals, compared to other groups.

Sound familiar?

It wouldn't be an overnight thread without an indignant undulation from some snide flouncerati or other.

Sal- don't quote flounces.

Jimmah-Ice Productions, a wholly owned subsidary of the Progressive Attack Machine, is proud to announce today the release of our first video collaborations. After considering various major tv and cable outlets such as CBS and HBO, we finally decided to go with youtube as our primary broadcasting medium. These videos are we hope, an informative insight into the psychology of butthurt as well as a potential cause of butthurt in and of themselves to individuals who are already susceptible to the condition.

Announcing the debut of the Greater Wingnuttia Butthurt Level Detection System! It's a five level system, each level features a different wingnut. We've dedicated the highest level "Massive Butthurt" to Glenn Beck:

Also dedicated to 'wahabbi corridor' who has just manifested a massive level butthurt on this here thread as you can see above :)

AFAIK there isn't a ban on them, but BG is an Andrew Breitbart site, if I recall rightly.

AB hasn't directly attacked CJ I don't think, but he is a wacko.

I think it's ok to link them, but I personally would be pretty damn cautious about anything they say.
(BTW, if you're ever not sure, just link the google cache of the page. That way you're not sending them traffic. I do that with lefty sites all the time if I suspect they've said unfair things about LGF or I'm just not sure if they may have.)

re: #177 iceweasel

No idea how to do that.

It's just a link of Sarkozy's comments regarding nuclear naivety.

Or you can use tinyurl; it accomplishes the same denial of page traffic.

BTW, I also think it's only a matter of time before Breitbart attacks CJ and LGF, (if he hasn't already) and AB is buddies with Robert Stacy McCain.

Does it? I thought it merely shortened the url yet sent traffic to the site.

re: #178 TheMatrix31

Go to google, pop in the url into the search box, when the result is returned click the little link underneath it that says "cached".

Might be wise to check with Charles on it, then.

But I've read what Sarkozy has to say about Obama's UN performance, and it's most definitely cutting in its criticism of naievete.

Nice one, Wahabbi. How can we miss you if you don't go away?

I love how the people who maintained the prayer list treat it as some kind of weapon. "I've got the prayer list and now you don't have it!". I mean, it was a sweet idea and a very nice gesture towards those inclined to pray for people they care about. But the point is that people who care about other people will pray for them anyway. Or not pray and still care. If it makes these people feel better about themselves because they are the ones posting it (and probably not caring about the people on it, judging by the last few keepers) then fine.

But there's nothing to keep the Lizards here from putting together another one.

It's so much more than a gesture. God actually logs onto 2.0 each night to read their prayer list and distributes help according to what is in it./

Wabbi: Here is your prayer...

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

You are a good guy. I'm really sorry some people hurt you with their back stabbing ways. You and many others here deserved better.

Charles should create a "Close My Account" button. I think people would "flounce" anyway, but, the option could be there for someone who wanted to walk. And would make "flouncers" appear more foolish.

Charles should create a "Close My Account" button. I think people would "flounce" anyway, but, the option could be there for someone who wanted to walk. And would make "flouncers" appear more foolish.

Respectfully disagree, FBV. There is no reason to feel the need to close an account.

Normal people simply stop posting at sites they don't like or don't have time for anymore. and the webmaster eventually pops such accounts into an inactive file or deletes them.

These are weird histrionic fits that are about some fucked up psychological need. They wouldn't use such a button even if it were provided-- and I don't know of any political blog that has such a function. (Apart from forums, where you can delete your account).

re: #218 iceweasel

That's my point. Will make flounces even more stupid.

Wahabbi left an extremely nasty comment, rightfully deleted, in which she flounced and basically said she was taking her prayer list and running away because everyone here is so, so awful.

Defend that behaviour if you must, but I'm not going to be apologising for my comment, I'm not recommending that anyone defend her, and I for one am not at all sorry to see her or anyone who acts like that go.

Your mileage may vary.

I'll be happy to organize and maintain an LGF prayer list.
I wanted realwest to give it to me when he said he was to sick to maintain it, and he gave it to wahabi instead.

Looks like the old one is gone for good now, so lets' start a fresh one.

Maybe run a search on the prayer list? And if you get a recent prayer list I think it would be bad to remove anyone banned regardless of the reason. Just my opinion.

Morning all. How many meltdowns since yesterday morning? Not counting Wahabi's this morning.

Yeah- let's keep people on our prayer list who flipped out on Charles, lied to other Lizards, and didn't give a rat's ass about this community. Swell idea!

I just checked the FNDT on Blogmocracy, and at comment #662, someone named "Justin Case" re-posted wahabicorridor's now-deleted comment #161 from this thread. I would characterize the comment as "mildly snarky and a bit cryptic."

I would search wahabi's comments- you will find an old list posted. Perhaps the other Lizards who have passed on should also remain on the list. You will need to post you are the new keeper probably more than a few times for other Lizards to know and send you new requests.

I'm looking but I can't seem to find it.

re: #246 Throbert McGee

I just checked the FNDT on Blogmocracy, and at comment #662, someone named "Justin Case" re-posted wahabicorridor's now-deleted comment #161 from this thread. I would characterize the comment as "mildly snarky and a bit cryptic."

Your threshold for "extremely nasty" is set a lot lower than mine is, or you know a lot more backstory than I do.

Dude, if you choose to defend someone who flounced, who announced she was taking the prayer list and running home, AND endorse 2.0 as a place to get your information from-- have at it.

I maintain that flouncing, and especially taking the prayer list and announcing you're keeping it, is an incredibly shitty thing to do.
