Dinesh D'Souza: Hitler was NOT anti-gay.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

"I'll take 'inexplicable excuses for $200, Alex."

"Answer: 'I don't know. Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment.'"

"What is, 'why do you keep reading this guy's tweets?'"

Hitler was NOT anti-gay. He refused to purge gay Brownshirts from Nazi ranks saying he had no problem as long as they were good fighters

1. Don't repeat his words!

Lakoff: Repeating his words helps him. Start with the truth. If necessary state the lie. end with the truth.

Better headline:
Dinesh even lies about Hitler

[Susan Calvin]

9. Yes. Study Lakoff.

Slap theirs down as briefly as possible. Promote ours.

2. I've been to Dauchau. There is a plaque there that mentions

how many people who were imprisoned and murderered because they were homosexual.

[sdfernando]

3. I was born in Munich and lived in Dachau

The place is unsettling. So many good people murdered. Jews, gays, gypsies (not so much in Dachau), intellectuals.

Dinesh is a grade A asshole.

4. !

[Marcuse]

5. Report this to his Parole Officer.

13. I actually heard Marcuse speak

It was in the 60s at a 2 day seminar for grad studrts in CA.

6. Finally murdered them in Night of the Long Knives

Prominent ones were arrested and murdered in jail. Did keep them as street fighters to get into power. Some high-ups were notoriously homosexual.

IIRC gays had to wear pink triangles, Jews yellow ones.

Pathetic how many right-wingers view themselves / advertise themselves as intellectuals on the basis of nothing more than a bit of selective reading/memory!!

10. There are no GOP intellectuals anymore

Paul Ryan is supposed to be their big policy wonk and his only idea is to blatantly lie. He knows nothing about laws, policy or the world. His favorite books are by Ayn Rand - proving his juvenile and simplistic worldview.

GOP donors have driven out smart GOPers - the remaining lot are craven and dumb enough to take money and parrot what they're told.


Just look at the Senate Judiciary comm. Burr is doing a decent job, but he's totally outclassed by Warner. Warner (D) is an impressive ex-AUSA who trained at top places. Burr (R) is an ex-lawn shears salesman. If Warner needs to outsmart him, it won't be a fair fight. Similar situations hold all over Congress. To be a GOP politician these days you cant be too smart or you'll see through their lies.

[Susan Calvin]

11. Exactly.

And Ayn Rand is for high schoolers with relatively long attention spans.

(Yes, I read them. All. Ask me a title. All the way through. At the same general time that I read all three volumes of Lord of the Rings in a weekend. Seriously.)

She was a hypocritical fraud. As is the current Republican party. And the Democratic party is no prize either, even if marginally better.

12. Democrats have a ton of patriots - D party is strong

Democrats are doing well. Stay strong.

It's the GOP that has decayed and the GOP that is the problem. Any moderate 1980s republican has either in name or in practice joined the Democratic party.

As Bernie has said : 90% of America would vote progressive if not for GOP propaganda, money, and voter suppression.

Democrats are doing great - we the grassroots just needs to get out there and work.

[Susan Calvin]

14. Totally agree about the grassroots.

They may save the party (I mean the upper-level organization) in spite of itself.

[sharedvalues]

16. Schiff, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, Bharara, Franken, Murphy (CT)

The Dems have a ton of rising stars

And their top end leaders are great and eloquent: listen to Bernie speak. Or Pelosi. Or Liz Warren. Or Obama. They get it. They are great speakers and effective politicians.


If not for the right wing propanganda machine and GOP donor billions, those leaders would be leaders of all America. What we need to do at the grass roots is build on their excellent messages.

[Susan Calvin]

18. I think the top level would just as soon Bernie went away.

Glad he isn't doing so, and glad he dragged them to the left.

[shenmue]

7. Fucking lying shit

8. O.M.G. nt

15. Just as an historical aside ...

The anti gay laws were pre-Hitler, and not all that different from similar laws in all the "good guy" countries.

So yeah, the Nazi regime was anti gay for sure, but were they significantly more anti gay than the UK, USA, USSR, China etc?

[uriel1972]

17. I don't know about China and the USSR...

But I can't recall the UK and USA rounding up and executing gays as a blanket policy. That's like arguing that the Nazi's were no more anti-semitic than other countries, because other countries were anti-semitic too.

19. Gay power

The greatest military's in the world have always had a gay strong hold. The Roman army created the "buddy system" and has played a key role in boosting numbers in recruiting soliders.in today's military's
Remember Former FBI Director J.Edgar Hoover?
He named his Agents "G" men!
Keep learning from Gay knowledge it is a power to be reckoned with.
