This is what happens when you see history from only one perspective, when you dumb it down to core (completely emotional) concepts. Or maybe the poster meant the "Nuremberg Laws"? That would make more sense paired with the Spanish Inquisition.
One thing about Conservative arguments is that they typically do not have the facts, or reality on their side, so most of their arguments come from pure emotion, mainly fear and anger.
