re: #214 The Ghost of a Flea

He’s also echoing a misdirection/lie cocktail assembled by Scott Lively—author of “The Pink Swastika” and a major force behind Evangelical-supported anti-gay laws in Subsaharan Africa—that somehow the SA and Ernst Röhm made the Nazis 100% gay, when there’s copious primary sources from NSDAP internal discussions that demonstrate how other Nazis leaders despised his sexuality but concealed it because he was effective.

What’s more, this line of attacks seems out of place under a Trump administration. I mean, one thing Trump has never been accused of is being too puritanical. If you think about it, DD’s characterization of NAZIs as sexual libertines who only turned on gays for political reasons sound a lot more like Trump than anyone on the left.
