re: #133 Obdicut

I’m sorry, I can’t help you with the argument you’re having with people who aren’t me. I have no idea why you’re bringing up people who smear Israel.

If I wanted your help, I would just ask for it.

To recap: before you entered the conversation, I was saying that there’s no need to reference “nazis” to talk about what Schlussel is doing. My point has been, everything’s hitler (Godwin) now, everything’s a Holocaust, everybody’s a nazi, now.

Sorry, but I find that lazy thinking, especially since we have our own longstanding history of xenophobia, manifest destiny, genocide, smallpox blankets, racial cleansings, alien land laws, immigration quotas, education quotas, the list goes on and on, rightchere.

It may be easier and more convenient to draw on nazis. But we don’t have to.

Afaic, that’s what Schlussel, Geller, Spencer, Lind, Weyrich, Beck, Dilling, Skousen, Benson and the rest of the CPAC/John Birch Society bigots are drawing on, not the nazis, not hitler or the rest.

You seem attached to those references, for whatever your reasons. Use them or don’t, that’s up to you.

I’ve only been saying why I don’t use them, and don’t need them. Why that’s some major issue for you, I’ll never know until you tell me.
