Nationalists united under a charismatic leader - now where has that existed before?
It's no shock that Weiner has fascist wet dreams. Remember, he is, after all, the same guy who wanted to reinstate the sedition act to jail all of Bush's critics just 8 years ago:
Michael Savage, conservative radio host, told host Aaron Klein Sunday, We need a nationalist party in the United States of America. The Tea Party, he said, isnt cutting it: They need to restructure their party. They need a charismatic leader, which they dont have.
Savage went on to underscore the notion that the Tea Party isnt as strong as it could be because of a lack of leadership. When you say Tea Party no one knows who the leader is because there is no leader, he said. No man has stepped forward who can lead that party.
Unfortunately for Savage, he doesnt think he could take the helm. He believes the role will require enormous resources and enormous energy, which he doesnt have at his age.

(16,038 posts)that the Occupy movement and the Teabaggers have a few issues in common. The rise of both groups indicate unrest in this country. Both parties are acting in favor of multi-national big business and nobody truly is representing working people in this country. The trade agreements which benefit nobody except big business have neither party's opposition even as the vast majority of working people oppose them. The war on drugs has neither party's opposition even though the majority of the population oppose it. The prison industrial complex has no party's opposition. The war on terror has no party's opposition. The tax code which punishes the poor and rewards the rich has no party's opposition. Immigration policy has no direction. These and other issues have some common allies within both the Occupy movement and the Teabaggers. If a charismatic leader(s) of a populist movement arose and drew support from both the baggers and the Occupy sympathizers, the vast middle would likely follow resulting in a viable 3rd party. I don't know who this guy is, but I do believe that the winds of change are be blowing..I don't believe fascism is the answer...populism? Maybe.

(1,941 posts)The last go-round the official parties had squandered their credibility. The people turned to those they thought would help them. Because the worst excesses of the Reds weren't yet widely known, communism had a wide appeal. National Socialism was appealing to the money men because it was populist and yet had a strong nationalist character. Communism was foreign, international, a threat to Germanity. National Socialism was about Gott, Mutter, and apple strudel. Hitler blamed the Jews for everything? Good, good. He's not pointing fingers at industrialists and aristocrats. And if you read about Hitler's private introduction to the money men, he really cleaned up nice and made a good impression. There was the sense that here's the language and policies as articulated to the volk, here's what will be said to educated men of business and commerce, men of reason and good breeding. This Hitler chap could play ball. Fuckers had no idea what they were really signing on for.

Divide and conquer is their meme. They are terrified of the alternative.

I think this guy is just loving the money the right wing pays TALKING HEADS even though he is just a LITTLE DOG HEAD.
