Oh that Liberal Fascism.
Who knew that the “In the future, everyone will be Hitler for 15 minutes” meme would be so recursive? As Jim Hoft writes, “My, what a difference a year makes…:”
August 2009– Speaker Nancy Pelosi compared tea party protesters to Nazis.
“They’re carrying Swstikas and symbols like that.”September 2010– Pelosi’s Deputy Director of Member Services leads a Nazi-sign rally in Chicago.
Click over to Jim’s site for photos and video, and then stop by the Verum Serum blog for addition photos from this month: “Alert Maddow! Dem Staffers Hoist Nazi Signs of Beck and Palin.” Though as Jim adds, “Don’t expect to see this on your nightly news.”
Update: James Lileks claims dibs on the “in the future everyone will be Hitler for 15 minutes” riff, though I first saw it at the now sadly defunct Beautiful Atrocities blog in 2005. Meanwhile, Larry O’Connor has a thorough round-up on the whole sordid Pelosi-backed affair at Big Government.
Incidentally, why are the folks who want (a) small government that will (b) leave you alone always the ones being smeared as Nazis?
