In Ukraine, Echoes of the Anschluss

A corollary to Godwin’s Law of Nazi Analogies states that once a comparison to Hitler or the Nazis is made in an online discussion, the thread ends and the person who mentioned Hitler automatically loses the argument. In some cases, however, the rule doesn't apply -– such as when the behavior of other totalitarian regimes is discussed.

I never thought the day would come that I would say this, but it no longer applies to discussing my country, Russia. Here’s a Nazi analogy.

“It is not only the same people but above all a long communal history and culture which bind together the Reich and Austria,” Adolf Hitler said in February, 1938.

On March 11, Austrian Nazis seized power in Vienna, and the following day, Josef Goebbels read this statement from Adolf Hitler on German and Austrian radio: “The German Reich will not tolerate persecution of Germans in this region because they belong to our country or because they hold certain opinions. There must be peace and order. I have therefore decided to help the millions of Germans in Austria with the resources of the Reich. Since this morning, soldiers of the German Wehrmacht have marched over the German-Austrian borders. The new National Socialist government in Vienna has itself summoned panzer troops, infantry divisions, and SS legions on the ground and the German Luftwaffe in the blue sky. Our soldiers guarantee that the Austrian people will shortly be given the opportunity to determine their future themselves and thereby their fate with a plebiscite."

xpost from the Lounge! Fun with the Chyron

I was on Fox a few weeks ago to discuss the rollout of ACA/Obamacare. At the same time, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine was doing Public Service Announcements to encourage signups.

The result? Well, I'm saving this one. Just sayin! LMAO

xPost from GD: Looks like I will be on CNN tomorrow (Thursday) at 11am ET regarding Chris Christie

Looks like I will be on CNN tomorrow (Thursday) at 11am Eastern time to give immediate reaction to the town hall NJ Gov Christie will be having.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2014/02/18/n-j-gov-chris-christie-to-hold-town-hall-meeting-thursday/

... the thrust of the meeting will focus on the state’s recovery from Hurricane Sandy, the 2012 storm that severely damaged the state’s coastline. Christie will open his presentation by discussing the latest $1.4 billion installment of federal rebuilding funds, surrounded by members of his Cabinet who will manage those dollars...
