And Today’s Godwin’s Law Violation Goes To…
Senator Sherrod Brown’s campaign issued a new attack ad Friday against his rival, Republican Josh Mandel. In it, the Ohio Democrat accuses Mandel of using the “big lie” strategy in his campaign. The term “big lie” was coined by Adolf Hitler and is commonly associated with Nazi propaganda.
Mandel is Jewish.
The ad states: “Josh Mandel: He has become the candidate of the big lie.” It cites a Columbus Dispatch columnist as the source for the quote. It argues that Mandel has made numerous false statements about his career as state treasurer, among other distortions.
Brown’s ad does not specifically mention Nazis, but the term “big lie” is still closely identified with them. Earlier this week, John Burton, chairman of the California delegation to the Democrats’ Charlotte convention, was criticized when he compared Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan to the Nazis and referenced the “big lie.”
That “Big Lie” phrase and other Godwin’s Law violations sure got quite a workout this week, huh?
Update: Florida Democrat Resigns After Anti-Christian Comment Goes Viral: “Christians just want [Jews] to be there so we can be slaughtered and converted and bring on the second coming of Jesus Christ,” Mark Siegel told an interviewer during the DNC.
With the Dems, it always comes down to Nazis!
Funny. Aren’t they Socialists? Anyone looking at that nutjob conclave they just held who still thinks they’re not, just doesn’t know what a Socialist is! Indeed, they’ve gone careening over the cliff right to enormous C Communism (it’s okay, Dems. I forgive you for all the times you called me a liar over the years. You’re just obviously too stupid and deluded to know any better, and it is nice to be so thoroughly proven right, after so long.)
The National Socialist Party. Thus Nazis. That’s you!
Let’s also never forget, since so many obviously have, that Bull Conner and Orval Faubus and all the racist boogiemen that the stupid left trots out were ALL Democrats! Also, Jefferson Davis, if you know who that is.
Ronnie said it best. It’s not that they’re ignorant (although I’ll argue that with him in the bye-and-bye); it’s just that they know so much that isn’t true!
*sigh*
Communists always scream “Nazi,” ” Fascist,” “social Fascist,” “racist,” “sexist,” “homophobe,” etc. because Communists, after the international and national wings of socialism had united in the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and after socialism had conquered capitalist France in 1940, the national socialists betrayed and invaded the international socialists. It’s the worst insult possible: traitor. Not applicable here, of course, because Republicans aren’t socialists, and therefore cannot be national socialists.
