Senate Candidate Who Praises Adolph Hitler Ejected From California GOP Convention

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

A California Republican candidate for U.S. Senate who praises Adolph Hitler and believes Jewish representation in government should be limited was booted from the state’s GOP convention on Saturday.

Patrick Little hopes to become the Republican candidate to face off against Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who’ll be running for a fifth term in the fall. In a SurveyUSA poll last month, Feinstein was backed by 39 percent of the people surveyed in the poll while Little came in second place at 18 percent.

State GOP spokesman Matt Fleming told CBS News that Little has never been active in Republican politics. He added that the GOP condemns “anti-Semitism and any other form of religious bigotry.”

In a video posted on BitChute, Little railed against his ejection while standing ― and spitting ― on an Israeli flag. He called participants in the GOP convention “zionist stooges.”

1. How about that? We have finally found the absolute level of hell...

below which the Republicans won't go.

They will not support someone who praises Hitler.

That's a relief!

15. At least not in California. Maybe elsewhere they might?

2. Let me guess

he will now move to a more "Nazi" friendly state - somewhere in the south, Midwest or mountain states - and try again?

3. Tsk, tsk. No Nazi, no Nazi.

4. Spotlights draw these crazy creeps out, but not to seek the light.

Corrupt and destructive as Republicans have become, this is not them. Not yet anyway.

And those who are frivolously claiming they are should be really, really glad these posts are just trumpster-level smearing, because we're all on record as strongly opposing them and would be looking for rocks to hide under ourselves.

9. This may not be mainstream Republicans yet

But the mainstream Republicans are enabling them, radicalizing them, and even courting them. There have been cases of so-called mainstream Republican politicians actually using private militias for security. It may not be fully them quite yet, but they are moving in this direction and the line between them is not that thick.

[Hortensis]

11. Something to that. Most of the house GOP caucus votes

to the right of their electorate, with only small overlaps when votes are graphed against voter polls. Their senators overlap more like half. Almost everything brought to a vote is strongly conservative, and often even extremist/off the chart.

But that's all because they represent the wishes of their big donors, who put most of them in and will take them out if their investments do not pay off. Not because they represent most Republican voters, who in honest polls average far more sensible (when asked what they want on actual issues.

And let's not forget that both the Tea Party and Trump were failed voter rebellions against what was happening, and both were taken over by the very people they were rebelling against and used to control them further. Rebellions by true confederacies of dunces. Not exactly our brightest and best, and I agree that willingly deluded people following evil leaders are how it happened in Germany and this is how it could happen here.

But Republican voters do know something's wrong with their party. They just can't fight it properly now because stopping us is even more important. In addition to the antipathy to Democrats that's been so deeply instilled, and all the various issues that have been blown up into big wedges, the majority have been taught to believe WE are America's fascist threat and that they have to stop us. You can't research any of this without bringing up floods of scheming disinformation about Democratic and liberal fascism, plots to take over, purges, deep state, and so on. It's been a major theme on Fox and other right wing media for a long time now. THEY are America's protection against the new nazism we are trying to impose.

How clever of the true archconservative authoritarians behind this.

5. Well that's weird

Who knew Republicans had any standards or scruples at all? This has clearly been an unpleasant surprise to Mr. Little.

[Hortensis]

6. Lol. You haven't heard about Don Blankenship in WV,

I take it. Go enjoy. He's giving the Republican Party ulcers. If only he'd win their nomination for U.S. senator, but I'm afraid WV's voters are going to say no. Although, he's apparently had a late surge in support from conservative voters who really don't appear to have any standards or scruples for their own.

Tuesday will tell how many.

8. We'll have to see about West Virginia

For some reason I can't fathom, Don Blankenship enjoys a large measure of support from West Virginia voters, even after a career of underpaying, overworking, and outright killing his employees. Blankenship's primary opponent has refused to say whether he'll endorse Joe Manchin in the general if Blankenship is the Republican nominee. That tells me that Blankenship will enjoy the full support of West Virginia's Republican party should he be the party nominee.

[Hortensis]

10. "I am Trumpier than Trump," Don Blankenship.

I didn't really think you were missing the appalling Republican circus playing out in WV.

I was looking forward to reading Trump's denunciation of Blankenship, but he sadly left it to his assisstant so it's boringly rational. Pure Trump and trumpsterism, tho, in that his only objection to Blankenship is that he can't win. So vote for any other Republican.

14. This is looking more and more like a stress test

Just how stupid are Republican voters? Is there a limit beyond which you run the risk of breaking them? Blankenship is tying his candidacy to Trump as firmly as he can while Trump is trying to distance himself from Blankenship. What is a Republican voter to do when they get conflicting messages from their fave-raves?

[Hortensis]

16. :) I spent 30 years expecting our conservative acquaintances,

so decent in many other ways, to finally reach limits below which they wouldn't go. Basically never happened.

Surely 2016 was the big stress test? I now really believe that, as long as they're able to deny reality and instead believe the validating lies they're fed -- and that's the key, most will set no lower limit to their behavior, that there's no bottom to what they would do under continued bad leadership except one that finally breaks most of them on hitting it.

We know some few are recognizing and refusing, though, at least a bit. November 6 will tell.

Btw, I was happy to receive a robocall from a Democratic candidate for congress in our extremely conservative Georgia district. He has virtually no chance of winning, but he promised our deep red voters to work for compassion and cooperation in government. Interesting that, like others this year, he thinks that will appeal to those most reachable.

7. What? Since when does the GOP condemn religious bigotry? It is their central party platform.

[DFW]

12. The poor confused California Reublicans. I have bad news for them:

Patrick Little is now the mainstream Republican. If he offends you, YOU are not.

[lpbk2713]

13. What was his Freeper user name?

[Behind the Aegis]

17. I am sure Little will be able to rally the troops.

He may even bring in some new members with his rhetoric.
