Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden compared President Trump to Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels Saturday, accusing the president of lying about his record to the American people. Speaking to MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle, Biden said Trump has tried to reenforce the false notion that he is a socialist to hurt his standing with moderate swing voters, particularly in the battleground state of Florida.

He add that the GOP has struggled to effectively label him in the home stretch to Election Day. “I’m not sure anybody hasn’t already made up their mind if they’re for Trump. But who knows. He’s sort of like Goebbels. You say the lie long enough, keep repeating it, repeating it, repeating it, it becomes common knowledge,” he said. Goebbels is notorious for being one of Adolph Hitler’s closest associates and ... Nazi Germany’s propaganda minister.

The former vice president expressed optimism that voters will see a clear contrast between him and Trump, pointing to a peaceful protest over police brutality outside the White House. The protest was broken up over the summer after chemical agents were deployed to pave the way for a photo op for the president.

“I think people see very clearly the difference between me and Donald Trump. Trump is clearing protests in front of the White House that are peaceful with the military. This guy’s more Castro than Churchill,” he said.

2. "You say the lie long enough, keep repeating it, repeating it,

repeating it, it becomes common knowledge,”

21. It doesn't even have to be repeated all that

many times, research has shown. Just once or twice, even if it’s later refuted, is sufficient to cause people to remember it as true. That’s why I hate the reporting of every rightwing nutjob’s every crazy utterance on this site.

27. Ditto I hate the repetition.

11. Indeed!

[paleotn]

15. Yes!!!

A page from Karl Rove's playbook. Take your opponent's strength, turn it around and attack them with it.

5. Trump is the biggest practitioner of Goebbels' Big Lie technique since Goebbels

8. You go Joe!

Way past time for the true name of our illegitimate occupant of the Oval.

9. If the Nazi shoe fits...

[no_hypocrisy]

10. I can endorse that. I've been comparing Trump to the wrong Nazi, meaning Hitler.

Goebbels was even deadlier than Hitler. Hitler had no imagination by comparison and no true artistry with words like Goebbels.

Just to remind everyone, Goebbels and his wife injected their six children with cyanide while they were sleeping, so the little ones wouldn't live in a world without Hitler.

13. Trump is even a disgrace to the Nazis

[C_U_L8R]

12. Trump isn't even a dime store Mussolini

Sure he's got all the hateful aspirations and instincts... but he's just, stupid.

[Lock him up.]

14. dRumpf plays stupid to his stupid cultist base so they recon themselves in him.

Behind the scenes, his criminal behavior is very thought of (except for the long-term consequences he ignores because nobody ever managed to stick them to him as of yet).

Behind the scenes, he plans to murder MILLIONS (abolish Obamacare, A.K.A the ACA, steal SS, kill Medicare and the Constitution he loathes as he never read it: can't understand the words).

Great counter-punch from Joe there!

16. Call him what he is. The failed fascist.

17. Joe Biden is so underrated

He goes right to the middle, common sense of things, and says what he believes based on reality and facts. Recall how he debated Paul Ryan. By the end of the debate you felt Paul Ryan was a little off, and Joe Biden in his friendly, earnest way, was a really good guy, which he is.

18. Go Joe!!

This country needs him in the white house!

19. Melania

I heard that Melania is in the running to win the Magda Goebbels Homemaker of the Year Award.

20. As a reminder, per Vanity Fair (Sept 1990) Trump kept Hitler's speeches as bedside reading.

"Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist."

22. +1. And look at the shit he's been saying about good genes

his euphemism for the master race

[ancianita]

23. Way to bring it! Give 'im hell, Joe!

Nazis never wanted to use that word once they were in power. Herr Drumpf won't like this one bit.

29. Say It Joe!!!!

They will scream and cry as loud as they can because it's the truth. They have taken all the pages out of the nazi playbook and used that playbook against the American people.

And remember the quote that is often attributed to Churchill: "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."
