Nazis And Newtsies

In recent years, I noticed the remarkable similarities (physical and philosophical) between Nazis and Republicans. It seems unlikely to be mere coincidence. Could it be.......reincarnation? I have applied the Rush Limbaugh standards of truth and fairness (lies, half-truths, smears, and distortions) in creating this page. Like Limbaugh says about his own stuff, it's for entertainment purposes only.

(Sorry for the long loading time, but there are a lot of images)

"Propaganda…must always be essentially simple and repetitious. In the long run, only he will achieve basic results in influencing public opinion who is able to reduce problems to the simplest terms and who has the courage to keep forever repeating them in this simplified form despite the objections of the intellectuals." - Joseph Goebbels’ diary, 1/29/42 "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." -Joseph Goebbels (attribution unsure)	Minister Of Propaganda	People Oct 19, 1992 "I don't use this program for activism. But if people act on what I say, then that's the icing on the cake." Time Oct 26, 1992 "I'm not an activist. I do not give out congressional phone numbers. I do not urge behavior. No tea bags. This is entertainment." US News & World Report Aug 16, 1993 "...portraying himself as 'just an entertainer.'" Time Nov 1, 1993 "I look at this," Limbaugh has said repeatedly, "as entertainment."
	Propaganda Ministry: Famous Smearmeisters Of The Past	Senator McCarthy set the style for the Republican Party to this day, by attacking people with smear campaigns and without proof to back up his charges. These came to be known as "dirty tricks" during the 1970s, and are employed during election campaigns. He was later censured (see http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/ infousa/facts/democrac/60.htm) "While I cannot take the time to name all of the men in the State Department who have been named as members of the Communist Party and members of a spy ring, I have here in my hand a list of 205 that were known to the secretary of state as being members of the Communist Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping the policy of the State Department." - Senator Joseph R McCarthy February 9, 1950, address at Wheeling WV Instructions in a manual distributed during the 1990 election season by Newt Gingrich's GOPAC advised GOP candidates to label their opponent as a "sick, pathetic, liberal, incompetent, tax-spending traitor." Other terms for use included "decay, unionized bureacracy, greed, corruption, radical, permissive, and bizarre". They should refer to themselves as "humane, visionary, confident, candid, hard-working reformer". Their platforms should use terms such as "opportunity, challenge, courage, pristine, principle(d), care(ing), common sense, peace, and pioneer" . Lee Atwater used a no-holds-barred brand of dirty politics that survives to this day. When he was dying of cancer, he repented for his past actions. From Bad Boy, regarding the 1988 Bush campaign against Michael Dukakis: "Lee used isolated facts out of context to create a negative view of Massachusetts and its governor, painting Dukakis as the elitist in the race: the creature of Harvard and the ACLU, too 'sophisticated' to say the Pledge of Allegiance or to kneel in prayer. Dukakis had vetoed a bill passed by the Massachusetts state legislature requiring teachers to lead students in the Pledge of Allegiance in 1977, but the Bush campaign treated the event as though it were recent. Bush stuck to Atwater's script making the Pledge of Allegiance the centerpiece of his campaign. He recited the Pledge constantly, attended the 'First Annual Flag Festival' in Findlay, Ohio, [and] toured a flag factory in New Jersey."

"All this was inspired by the principle - which is quite true in itself - that in 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." - Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf (James Murphy translation, page 134)	Both were excellent public speakers, and huge liars	"It was easier if you weren't at the ball park because you didn't feel you were lying. What at the ball park might be just a blooper grounder to the shortstop - 'and he digs it up, over to first for an easy out' - would be different in a radio speech. Well, you didn't want to lose your audience, so you could say: "It's a hard ground ball toward second base. Jurges is going after the ball, makes a one-hand stab, almost falls down, gets him by half a step at first base.' I submit to you I told the truth... The truth got there, and, in other words, it can be attractively packaged." - Reagan describing his radio announcer days, New York Times, 6/27/76 Reagan told so many lies that the word "misspoke" was used to cover his lies the next day.

"The Jews are to blame for everything." - Joseph Goebbels	Enemies of the State	"The left in America is to blame for most of the current, major diseases which have struck this society." - Newt Gingrich "We're the real America. They are not." - Rich Bond, Republican Party Chairman, 1992

"The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." - Hermann Goering	Paint Opposition As Traitors	Last week John Kerry told an audience that "what we need now is not just a regime change in Saddam Hussein and Iraq, but we need a regime change in the United States." Republicans immediately sought to portray this remark as little short of treason. "Senator Kerry crossed a grave line when he dared to suggest the replacement of America's commander in chief at a time when America is at war," declared Marc Racicot, chairman of the Republican National Committee. ============================
imprisonment called "protective custody" Jews were "resettled"	Word Redefinition	- tariffs are now "safeguards" - privatization of Social Security called "protecting" - lies are now "I misspoke" - raising taxes is called "revenue enhancement" - estate tax is called the "death tax" - tax cuts are called "tax relief" - Reagan "misspoke" when he told lies
"We wish to live in peace with England; we wish to live in peace with France; we wish to live in peace with Poland." - Adolf Hitler, 1933 "All through these long years we have never had any other prayer than this: Lord, give our people internal peace and give and maintain peace abroad. We have experienced in our generation so much fighting that it is natural that we should long for peace." - Adolf Hitler, Nuremburg Rally of 1936	Say One Thing, Do The Opposite	"Newt Gingrich's affair with a young Capitol Hill aide was an open secret in Washington all during the impeachment, and all through his pompous lectures about America's cultural and moral decline." -Maureen Dowd in the The New York Times, 8/18/99 Republicans worship the Constitution and the Bible when it suits them, ignoring it when it doesn't. Like when Cheney quickly became a Wyoming resident in order to avoid violating the 12th Amendment. In the 1980s, Reagan cut taxes, but they were offset by other tax hikes, which rarely get mentioned. Yet his legacy impression is that he cut taxes. He was also for a balanced budget, yet the national debt swelled because of his defense spending.

Excerpt from Republican Senator John McCain's statement of 5/24/2001 about Senator Jeffords leaving the GOP. Apparently the GOP hones its tactics by practicing on their own members:

"Although we have lost our majority in the Senate, I do believe Senator Jeffords' departure can have a positive impact on how our party responds to members who occasionally dissent from party orthodoxy. For his votes of conscience, he was unfairly targeted for abuse, usually anonymously, by short-sighted party operatives from their comfortable perches in K Street offices, and by some Republican members of Congress and their staff. Perhaps those self-appointed enforcers of party loyalty will learn to respect honorable differences among us, learn to disagree without resorting to personal threats, and recognize that we are a party large enough to accommodate something short of strict unanimity on the issues of the day. Tolerance of dissent is the hallmark of a mature party, and it is well past time for the Republican Party to grow up."

'We were thrown into great embarrassment," Ambassador Hewel, Ribbentrop's liason man, remarked to Hitler at supper, 'when we were about to fill the casket.

"In this hour I was responsible for the fate of the German people, and thereby I become the supreme judge of the German people. I gave the order to shoot the ringleaders in this treason." - Adolf Hitler	Kill The Opposition	"Don't kill all the liberals - leave a few around so we remember what they were like." -Rush Limbaugh "We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed too," pundit Ann Coulter told this month's meeting of the Conservative Political Action Conference. "Otherwise they will turn out to be outright traitors." -Ann Coulter (Feb 2002) "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity." -Ann Coulter (September 13, 2001) Gore advisers cooed that "Gray would certainly be one of those names that would have to be in the mix." Both were said to be "cautious, moderate 'New Democrats.'" Both were veterans, after a fashion, of Vietnam, which would make a Gore-Davis presidential ticket the only compelling argument yet in favor of friendly fire. - Ann Coulter FrontPageMagazine.com August 14, 2003 In "High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton)" she suggested that discussion of Clinton's scandals be limited to "whether to impeach or assassinate."

It is necessary that we must never allow our enemy to strike first. It was we who had to deal the first blow at Russia. The decision which we had then to make was very serious and grave. .....Everybody said I seek war, but I should have been wrong and not conscious of my responsibilities toward Europe if I had not accepted the obvious and necessary consequence. The menace to Europe was such that it could not be ignored, and so I decided to give the signal myself. There was ample proof of the aims of the Soviet Union, and also of the moment at which they had decided to make their attack on Europe.And looking back upon what we know now I can honestly thank God Almighty for having given me the strength and the knowledge to do what had to be done. Looking back upon those 20,000 tanks, those hundreds of divisions, those tens of thousands of guns and planes which the Soviet Union could bring to bear upon Europe, one must realize that if this enormous force had surprised Germany, Europe would have been lost. Providence ordained that a number of States should stem the tide of this gigantic onslaught..... If Germany had not stepped into the breach, Europe would have been submerged forever. - Adolf Hitler, referring to invasion of Russia	Wages Pre-Emptive War

"We are all proud that through God's powerful aid, we have become once more true Germans" - Adolf Hitler "Who says I am not under the special protection of God?" - Adolf Hitler "Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord." - Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf, Ralph Mannheim, ed., New York: Mariner Books, 1999, p. 65. ) "I go the way that Providence dictates for me with all the assurance of a sleepwalker." -- Speech of 14 March 1936, Munich When Hitler survived a bomb assassination attempt, instead of feeling depressed, he felt ecstasy, repeating over and over, "Think of it. Nothing happened to me. Just think of it. . ." He thought of himself as fated by Providence. On July 20, 1944, he remarked that it "only confirmed the conviction that Almighty God has called me to lead the German people-- not to final defeat but to victory." [Toland, p. 799]	Believes He Is Guided By Providence	Privately, Bush even talked of being chosen by the grace of God to lead at that moment [September 11th], and perhaps he was. (source link) "I think President Bush is God's man at this hour," a top White House aide told a religious publication not long ago. Ralph Reed, the former director of the Christian Coalition who now chairs the G.O.P. in Georgia, says his fellow evangelicals believe God selected the President because "He knew George Bush had the ability to lead in this compelling way.".....Two days before Christmas, Rudolph Giuliani, a devout but not excessively rigorous Catholic, announced his own opinion that "there was some divine guidance in the President being elected." In this sentiment, the Time magazine "Man of the Year" was swiftly seconded by a Catholic bishop. -Joe Conason New York Observer, March 20, 2003 (source link) [Lt. Gen. William "Jerry"] Boykin has repeatedly told Christian groups and prayer meetings that President George W Bush was chosen by God to lead the global fight against Satan.

"Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, we may never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion." - Dwight D. Eisenhower

"From the moment OPERATION DESERT STORM commenced on January 16th, until the time the guns fell silent at midnight one week ago, this nation has watched its sons and daughters with pride; watched over them with prayer. As Commander in Chief, I can report to you: Our armed forces fought with honor and valor. As President, I can report to the nation: Aggression is defeated. The war is over." -- President George Bush before Congress, March 6, 1991 (source link)

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else" - Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States
