I'm not trying to be inflammatory, I just want to make a point. Propaganda can work with disastrous results.
The similarities to Beck's message are frightening. Just substitute the Jewish reference with Progressives. The message is the same.

1. Thanks and reced!
The similarities are amazing. A duped audience and a con man speaking. Same event, different time. Let's hope the right wing doesn't do to the US what the deluded and radical extremists did to Germany.

2. And like Beck the speech is riddled with threats.
That good Germans did not take seriously just as we don't take Beck's rhetoric seriously.
And time will tell whether we are doomed to repeat history.

3. The uneducated American disc-jockey is emulating the uneducated German corporal
It's obvious.

5. Good find.
People like to think that Hitler single-handedly took over the Germans and came in from the beginning screaming "kill 'em all." Nope, he did it a lot more subtly than that.

6. The Nazis may have been the first to grasp the propaganda potential of modern media.
