RE 69/Pastor of Muppets: [...] when Jonah Goldberg and Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh have clearly explained to me that Nazis were actually liberals?? How is it possible that a movement of violent xenophobic reactionaries who targeted intellectuals, minorities, unions, communists and homosexuals were right wing? That just doesn’t make any sense to me! [...]
POM, tiny mind:
1) Goldberg, Beck & Limbaugh never described the Nazis as liberals – they described the Nazis as a left-wing party/movement which is correct (add in the picture nationalism and xenophobia which are also good bed fellows to communism)
2) you’ll find in the left and in the right pretty much the same amount of intellectuals, fellow travelers and gross opportunists (my suspicion is that you consider y/self an intellectual),
3) German unions were huge nazi supporters, buddy – main recruiting field for them;
4) as far as commies, no normal person would complain about extremists devouring each other, like commies and nazies (love the Barcelona May). However POM, little mind, let me remind you that Stalin and Hitler (respectiv Molotov/ Ribentropp) signed a huge pact of alliance before WWII started;
5) as far as homosexuals, fabulous, since this is what really torments you – plenty of them among Nazis, buddy, exactly like today amongs liberals. Check under SA/Rohm, then next time when you go to fancy gay places, look for Tom of Finlands drawings you cherish so much, those guys with bulging crotches, sailors, soldiers, leather types – there always are a couple of SS black leather officers among them.
It is also true, that lately the SS types are airbrushed from pictures – still, the truth is that homosexuals found a nice niche for themselves among the SS & Gestapo people.
Don’t try to deny this, and eat it POM fabulous, little yet overheated mind -
