It isn't even worth worrying about. These people will be gone once Hillary has the nomination all wrapped up. I actually prefer these types of posts be allowed to stand. Make it easier for Skinner later on.

But, some Sanders supporters claim that these sorts of comparisons never happen: "I have never seen Hillary compared to Nixon, or Kissinger, or Pol Pot..." You need to be able to drag these out.

And then wash your hands.

8. Hitler was not part of the establishment
Sun Mar 13, 2016, 10:41 AM
Mar 2016

until he made himself the new establishment

1909—1913
Without any means of money, Hitler struggles to survive in Vienna, living in a men’s hostel. He sells postcards which he’s drawn, of famous sights, and undertakes a series of menial jobs,to earn money.
During this period of poverty, Hitler engages in much political activity, attending meetings, absorbing political newspapers and literature.

1920
Hitler is discharged from the army. In the German Worker’s Party he undertakes responsibility for publicity and propaganda. He changes the party’s name to the National Socialist German Workers Party, (or Nazi for short) The party represents a combination of intense hatred for the politicians who they considered had dishonoured Germany by signing the Versailles Treaty and exploiting local grievances against a weak federal government.


1921
Hitler challenges Anton Drexler to become leader of the Nazi party. After initial resistance, Drexler agrees and Hitler becomes the new leader of the party.

there's more of course on Hitler's revolution.....

posts here in the past few days, including comparing her to Quisling and a truly loathsome and fortunately now-hidden suggestion that her leather jacket was made from the skins of Bernie supporters, that this meme cannot be coincidental. It is beyond disgusting.

If pressed to present evidence of all these "over-the-top and willfully obtuse and ignorant people in the HRC camp," what they'd come up with. I've noticed whining about how Hillary supporters are avoiding GDP (they miss you!) and how unfair it is that they're banned from the Hillary group and can't "discuss" things here. (Always demanding things!) Then they go and compare Hillary to Hitler in the Bernie group and complain about being alert stalked, as if alerting on such an over-the-top obtuse ignorant post is inconceivable.

When I comment on any thread in GD-P, at least 50% of the responses to me by Sanders fans are abusive.
