Oh yes, he went there.
Part of what we're trying to do in Saving Freedom is just show that where we are, we're about where Germany was before World War II where they became a social democracy. You still had votes but the votes were just power grabs like you see in Iran, and other places in South America, like Chavez is running down in Venezuela. People become more dependent on the government so that they're easy to manipulate. And they keep voting for more government because that's where their security is. When our immigrants get here, they're worried, because they see it happening here.
Wow. Just... wow.
This seems to now be a recurring theme among right-wingers. Because they've so overused the "socialist" attack line, they're now more frequently equating anything Obama does to fix our problems with "socialism". And because the Nazis' party was called the National Socialist Party, they stupidly think that means the Nazis must've been socialists. Therefore, Obama = Hitler.
We saw this theme re-emerge during the Holocaust Museum shooting last month, when right-wingers again claimed that the Nazis were "leftists".
BTW, a lot of this started with Jonah Goldberg's piece of shit book, Liberal Fascism. Everyone should read Dave Neiwert's excellent takedown of that book, showing how Goldberg deceptively redefines what words mean to make his ludicrous points.
