Noam Chomsky Compares Right-Wing Media to ‘Nazis’

Mediaite: Add Noam Chomsky to the growing list of people using the Nazi analogy lately. Speaking to the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, he alluded to right-wing media as “substantive content — crazy content, but it does give answers,” and warned that if Americans weren’t properly educated about what was really happening to them, they could be in for a repeat of the Nazi takeover of Germany in the 1930s.

So, for exposing facts, about the Obama administration and democrats, an avowed communist intellectual calls those on Fox, who point this out Nazis?

Do any of you care? Isn’t suppression of the truth one of the cornerstones of Communist domination. Further, if they don’t capitulate, then you kill them?

The only Nazis I see in continuous operation in this country all have “D” next to their name. They have 85% control over the vast left-wing new & entertainment media. That is not enough, free speech and truth threaten them, so attack and name calling is their only resort.

Do they ever explicitly outline just what the fascistic comments by those they hate utter? Any examples at all? No, they don’t, they just call names, place lables in an organized plan to shut any opposition to the socialization of America down.

These are dangerous people, with sick agendas. If Noam Chomsky is looking out for Obama, you can be assured Obama is a Marxist.

Ralph   October 16th, 2009 - 2:26 pm

This clown has all of the right rhetoric in terms of how Nazis operate, except that his liberal demensia has him completely confused.

1st of all the liberals are demonizing Christians, Jews, anyone who stands on the side of morality.
- They are constantly saying that the Christian Right is ruining America and IF ONLY the GOP would dump them we could go on and live in a great USA.

2nd liberals demonize the rich, not the right. What an idoit, I guess he doesn’t listen to Obama’s words. He wants people to hate CEO’s, who are white, anglo-saxons, Racists, who oppose his agenda.

3rd the liberal media puts all this out to the American people in News Casts, TV Shows and Movies in a Vacuum, so that people on the conservative side are cast as villians and the left are herioins.

4th the liberals OWN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM, where they indoctrinate kids for 4-8 hours a day in liberal dogma. The kids I see in Universities today are totally brainwashed into being anti-Religion, anti-right, and they see anyone who opposes them as mean, bigoted and need to be stopped.

JameS   October 16th, 2009 - 2:27 pm

A very intelligent man. Did you understand? The simplistic accusations by the right wing are meant to stir people up and give them false answers to their grievances. And it is working. Many of the people who follow Breitbart and comment here, are those people who blame “liberals” for all their problems.
Following the false propaganda of the Nazis is what led a highly developed nation such as Germany in the 1930’s to cause unfathomable violence, and thereby self destruct.
Thank you to Breitbart for showing this video.

Al Swearengen   October 16th, 2009 - 2:32 pm

Noam Chomsky comparing the right wing media to Nazis, is akin to Pol Pot calling Joseph Stalin a mass murderer.
Or Larse calling mark a faerie.

GOP = Gay Old Party   October 16th, 2009 - 2:36 pm

Yeah, I’m sure Joseph Goebbels would be quite proud of the Brownshirt Fixed News Propaganda Channel.

txmike   October 16th, 2009 - 2:38 pm

Chomsky a true believer and a useful idiot. Wake up dude Americans simply do not want the lies that obama is peddling / forcing upon the American people. I bet the Nazi’s hid legislation from germans e just like Peeelosi and the democrats are hiding health care legislation from the American people. Democrats can not be trusted. Chomsky is stupid for trusting them.

JameS   October 16th, 2009 - 2:39 pm

Ghandi’s Fist, you are one of the people he was talking about. You have swallowed propaganda and you spew it back out. During the Bush administration, the media did nothing to resist the Republican push to start a war on extremely flimsy justification. I would not call that a liberal media. Just a few short years ago the right wing controlled both Congress and the White House. What great improvements in your life did you see then? Nothing. All that power was primarily used to start a useless war that accomplished nothing except to pump an enormous amount of money into the military-industrial complex.

This is funny, there was another video of an elitist talking about Conservatives being Fascists on http://www.americanparchment.com and now this guy says we are Nazi’s but who is trying to take away our freedom. Like mandatory flu shots, health care, dependency on the government and not individuals. Who are the closest to Socialists, let me think Liberalism and progressivism. Remember this is the land of the free, not like any other country that is so dependent on the government for every part of their lives.

I love how the left tries to put the Nazi label on the right. The Nazi’s weren’t left or right. The Nazi’s had to court both sides to get the seats to hold power. The Nazi’s whored themselves to anyone with power and money including unions, big business, banks etc etc. Oh and the SA’s we’re notorious perverts and homosexuals, you know like the political party “Gay Old Party” belongs too. Your the idiot that needs to get an education.

Hank   October 16th, 2009 - 2:51 pm

Another self-hating liberal scoundrel. Conservative Jews need to denounce this anti-American rhetoric coming from more and more of the Jewish left. It is offensive to me to have to listen to this when so many great Americans fought and died to save Jews from annihilation at the hands of the Nazis. I wonder if Mr Chompsky would entrust the fate of the world’s Jews to the left leaning socialists who seek change in America and the world today? Something tells me no, he would not! Hypocrite POS!

Rick B   October 16th, 2009 - 2:59 pm

Margret Sanger
progressive, reformist, and founder of Planed parenthood she was behind the Eugenic movement in the USA.

Sanger was a proponent of negative eugenics, a social philosophy which claims that human hereditary traits can be improved through social intervention. Methods of social intervention (targeted at those seen as “genetically unfit”) advocated by some negative eugenicists have included selective breeding, sterilization and euthanasia. In A Plan for Peace (1932 Her first pamphlet read: It is a vicious cycle; ignorance breeds poverty and poverty breeds ignorance. There is only one cure for both, and that is to stop breeding these things. Stop bringing to birth children whose inheritance cannot be one of health or intelligence. Stop bringing into the world children whose parents cannot provide for them. Herein lies the key of civilization. For upon the foundation of an enlightened and voluntary motherhood shall a future civilization emerge. In William Robinson’s book, Eugenics, Marriage and Birth Control (Practical Eugenics), he advocated gassing the children of the unfit. In plain words, Robinson insisted: ‘The best thing would be to gently chloroform these children or give them a dose of potassium cyanide.’ Margaret Sanger was well aware that her fellow birth control advocates were promoting lethal chambers she traveled to Germany in the 1930’s to give speeches to the Nazis, based on Eugenics and Malthusian principles the Nazis then set up death camps to get rid of the physically and mentally handicapped. these same camps were the model for the holocaust
remember Margret Sanger was a progressive

I enjoyed this man, seems very level headed in making his point
but what I did not see was his answer to the problem he see, in
fact he did not really state the problem. It is hard for me to see which way
this guy leans from just this short clip.
It is true that the quality of life here has gone down, pay is lower,
less and less in the way of benefits from your employer- jobs being sent off
shore, this has all been happening and our Govt has been allowing it all-
not the Dems or Repbs both parties are in the pocket of lobbyist.
Wages are effected negatively by the illegal aliens who will work (and many
very hard) for less money, it is time for all our Senators and Congressmen
to do what is best for America first- forget the rest of the world, forget
getting reelected- DO WHAT’s RIGHT!

GOP = Gay Old Party   October 16th, 2009 - 3:02 pm

what is Planed parenthood? Is that like having babies while flying?

Rick B   October 16th, 2009 - 3:02 pm

Margret Sanger
she had become closely associated with the scientists and theorists who put together Nazi Germany’s “race purification” program. She had openly endorsed the euthanasia, sterilization, abortion, and infanticide programs of the early Reich. She published a number of articles in The Birth Control Review that mirrored Hitler’sAryan-White Supremacist rhetoric. She even commissioned Dr. Ernst Rudin, the director of the Nazi Medical Experimentation program, to write for The Birth Control Review.

In 1926, Sanger even gave a lecture on birth control to the women’s auxiliary of the Ku Klux Klan in Silver Lake, New Jersey.

Particularly insidious is the obscure 1939 Negro Project created by Sanger and Planned Parenthood (then called the Birth Control Federation of America). They designed two southern rural Negro Project “demonstration programs” to show how birth-control “could improve the general welfare of Negroes” through maternal and infant death reductions and child spacing. But some blacks saw this as an extermination plot

Quote
“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”– Margaret Sanger’s December 19, 1939 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, 255 Adams Street, Milton, Massachusetts. Original source: Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College, North Hampton, Massachusetts. Also described in Linda Gordon’s Woman’s Body, Woman’s Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America. New York: Grossman Publishers, 1976

JamesS
it is now nearly 3 years since the house flipped over to democrats. Prior to that, it was republican. At 10 months after the democrats took over, the stock market started to tank and unemployment started to creep up.
So, under Bush, the improvements were that we had essentially full employment and all of the usual benefits of full employment.
After the dems took over, the focus became energy, to which energy costs reacted by doubling, which caused a cascading effect. Not to mention the housing “crisis” – created by liberal lending practices and Schumer leaking private info on the banking industry.
The liberal media was very active on both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Where were you when the Times leaked info on US surveillance of so-called Musl!m charities and terrorist wire tapping.

Drano   October 16th, 2009 - 3:07 pm

A little background on Noam Chomsky that most won’t find too surprising.

Throughout the years of Cambodia’s “killing fields,” throughout the communist genocide committed against Cambodia’s people, Noam Chomsky was the unofficial apologist and academic spokesman for the Communist Khmer Rouge regime.

Chomsky insisted throughout the slaughter that anything uncivil going on in Cambodia was all the fault of American imperialism. As the massacres proceeded, Chomsky repeated communist propaganda, insisting over and over again that no massacres were taking place and that the countless news stories of such massacres were American disinformation.

Chomsky is the leading “academic” spokesman of anti-Americanism, hatred of Israel, endorsement of terrorism against the US and Israel, and defense of Holocaust Deniers. Chomsky says that Bin Laden was just trying to pass on to us a message of truth that we needed to hear

Chomski is a bolshevik just like his brothers from the Bolshevik revolution who killed millions of Russians.

Obama is the new Lenin and Chomski’s brothers are the Central Committee.

I am not American but I root for you, these people want a bolshevik revolution in America, once you are enslaved Europe will be next.

Soros and Chomski’s ilk are the most dangerous in the world, read about the Bolsheviks and you will see what they want for America.

By the way, Bolsheviks killed more people than the Nazis ever did.

The next time Chomsky contributes anything worthwhile to the USA it will be the first. Amazing the “bastions of free thought” on the left are becoming more intolerant than the McCarthy era which spawned them. I wonder if they even realize how corrupt and bankrupt they’ve become.

AbidingDude   October 16th, 2009 - 3:49 pm

While I personally disagree with the man’s politics, I can still find value in his message. “Beware of what the papers and news outlets are telling you. There may be an ulterior motive.” This is true, left AND right. You’re a fool if you don’t believe it. Real journalism died ages ago, replaced by news business.

You’re being played, America. You’re being spoon-fed information that’s packaged the way that you want to hear it for the sake of ratings and money. Egos are being massaged to the point that everyone fancies themselves qualified experts, and any disagreements are met with torrents of profanity and insults.

Compromise founded this country, and its absence will destroy it.

Greg Scott   October 16th, 2009 - 3:57 pm

Dear Mr Chomsky;

The Political Left is in favor of:
Abortion
Gun Control
Assisted Suicide
Socialized Medicine
An economy based on debt, redistribution of wealth and taxing success

The Political Right is in favor:
Protecting innocent life
Self defense via individual gun ownership
Fighting for every innocent life
A free market where the best therapies and doctors can thrive
An economy based on individual effort and budgetary accountability

Mr. Chomsky I am not a fascist – you are.

Respectfully,

Greg Scott

notime2w8   October 16th, 2009 - 4:07 pm

Here is Chomsky – STILL, after all these years – pulling left in a calm cool demeanor.

People who have stagnated for 30 years. Well, oddly, I think MOST Americans would say – if asked and their answers listened to no matter WHAT and NOT just because it is what the activists WANT to hear – MOST would say that their lives are BETTER than their parents lives 30 years ago. MOST would admit that their lives consist of more free time and more material advantages than 30 years ago. 30 years ago the norm was 1 car to a family, 1 tv to a family, fewer college degrees. Today, families have more physical comforts than ever and have more free time filled with activities of leisure.

There are people out there being driven by fear. But it’s NOT the majority and they are not being driven by co-called ring-wing media. The state media is driving those that consider themselves ‘poor’ to make rash generalizations in an attempt to justify their own lack of success. I think we’ve all seen these people that have $120 jeans, cell phones, $2000 rims on their cars and big screen televisions that are talking about being “poor”. Those are the people being stirred to action, fueled by feelings that they ‘deserve’ what others simply may have worked harder for. Sure, some people have advantages which are not earned. Sure, some have a better starting position in life because they come from wealthy families. But EVERYBODY has the freedom to work as hard as they can to achieve what they are able to. THAT is what every American is ENTITLED to. The chance to work hard – NOT the fruits of success. And THAT is exactly what the socialist/communist idealist like Mr. Chomsky can’t comprehend.

@EEuro   October 16th, 2009 - 4:19 pm

You can see from the comments here and elsewhere just how naive at least 50% of the American population is about communism. It is not taught in public schools because the public schools are captive to left wing teacher’s unions and politicians who are more concerned with being PC than teaching the history of communism and the 150,000,000 murders attributed to it.

goodwood   October 16th, 2009 - 4:32 pm

Chomsky is brilliant and can tell it like it is, without the B.S. I enjoy his thoughts a lot for that fact. However, at the end, he says it’s not a close/proper analogy, but a scarey thought. That completely negates his entire argument/sound bite. in a sense, he is guilty of what he is accusing the right wing of. dropping bombs of incorrect information. i will say it reminds me of something horrible to make the analogy, and then say it is not close to that in the end, but frightening all the same. Come on Chomsky, you are better at this than that!

stacy   October 16th, 2009 - 4:33 pm

Thank you Drano for reminding everyone who this dude is.

Chomsky — “The power to name is the power to define.” He like many liberals do not believe in truth. They sneer at truth. It is all subjective to them — all a big game.

This idiot IS PC-ism at it’s worst.

PCism like BCE — “Before the Common Error” to be used instead of BC — “Before Christ”. Non Christians hate to have their calendars based on Jesus. Of coarse there is a problem with their politically correct thinking. You can’t change the fact that the birth of Christ is what the calendar is based on — and it doesn’t matter if you change the wording you can’t change the fact that the calendar is based on the birth of Jesus Christ. Even sillier still is … Before the Common Error? Common to who? Not the chinese! Yet I have seen BCE used in Chinese art exhibits at the Guggenheim in NYC. Modern liberal PCism at it’s worst.

Chomsky has a very dim view of the individual. But conservatives want less government and more individual freedoms. The first thing the Nazis did was take away the guns from the people. Let us just start there! Republicans, conservatives, and libertarians believe that every law abiding citizen should have the right to own a gun without any interference from the government. How is that — in any way shape or form — like how the Nazis operated in Germany. The Germans were afraid to speak out when Hitlers party grew. We will not be silent. Chompky seeks to silence . . . . very interesting.

Gandhi's Fist   October 16th, 2009 - 4:51 pm

@JameS

The regurgitation of liberal boilerplate vis-a-vis leftist/Marxist talking points could easily be said of you. Chomsky is overrated as an intellectual. He IS on the record as a communist, which may not undermine every thesis he makes, but certainly does taint any statement made as it relates to politics. He is irrelevant.

As for Bush, you are aware he is out of office–right? Yet, if you wish to go there, get the facts right. The decision to invade Iraq was a poor one. I personally maintained that when it first happed. I continue to maintain this line of thought and it’s wisdom which is evidenced by the expense and human costs in that country. In this regard we have no disagreement. Yet, Bush was not the only one there, most of the dems were behind it, the media and–for the record–the American people. To Obama’s credit he was not. Afghanistan is where we should have directed 99 percent of our military effort. But, JameS, hindsight is always 20/20.

The left-wing media has labored mightly to get one of their own in office. The Brobdingnagian contortions they go to to avoid reporting radicals in the White House and put Obama into a positive light is worthy of only a Bahgdad Bob or NKDR press support of the “Dear Leader.” To state otherwise is either a distortion or you really are not paying attention.

Finally, JameS, you’re is one of the people I’m talking about. Apologists for radical communists who’ve actively contributed to profound human suffering, murder and redistribution of much of the world’s wealth into the pockets of leftist dictators. Ever seen the palatial estates where Castro, Kim Jung Il, and Chavez live? Have you? These are the heros of Chomsky–his peeps. The Marxists want control of the world at ANY cost, human or otherwise, you JameS, are their “useful idiot.” Ruminate on that for a while.

Made a trip over to Chicago for a Pro-Rally protest for us going-into Iraq years back.(mainly just went to video-tape the crowds)((Daley Plaza))

The City and Cops had The Antis caged-in against Sears Tower. It was funny to see. lmao

Popped-back and around these idiots there…They tried screeming-over a pretty large gang outside their gate…without much luck, may I add? ;o)

These few started yelling at me with my Cumcorder…. He’s either FBI or CIA !
I about split a gut laughing at them. *sigh
They were so pathetic…then after The Pro rally was over, Daley’s Cops let these boobs out of their cage to march around The Plaza, to a gauntlet of Cops around the square.
This one woman came by me shouting vulgarities…next time by, she was yelling again, and this dude yells something at me… I yell back,
Eat Chit!
The Cop that I was on-over His right shoulder was looking at me as I looked at Him and just smiled.
(then we both started laughing our azzez off)

Best protest I was ever to…next to the one in Uptown, in Minneapolis, but that’s another story and issue. ;o)

gee, how does he think Obama got elected? by leftist media, hollywood, and democrats saying all those same things about Bush and Cheney. If people listen to men like this, they will be gathering up tea party protesters and shipping them off to concentration camps. Conservatives are NOT the ones calling for Rush’s head to explode, for his kidneys to fail, and for Palin and her kids to die, to have Bush and Cheney tried for war crimes, accusing Bush of crazy stuff like causing 9/11 and blowing up the levees in New Orleans — I’m sorry, but this man is more dangerous than anything the right has produced.

Poor NOAM…..even he knows it’s over. The Leftist don’t control the agenda anymore. They HATE free speech. Political correctness is Communism. Any kind of speech that deviates from political correctness is to be shouted down is to be scorned or ridiculed. To think the Old Leftist News Media is the leader of this anti free speech group is mind-boggling. WE THE PEOPLE are The New Mainstream Media. You Leftist anti free speech Nazis get out of our way. We are destroying you and there is nothing you can do about it. NOTHING!!!! Let the vetting continue. Isn’t this fun??? MARXIST=DEMOCRATS=TERRORIST All the same ask the Perverts in the whitehouse.

All you folks that like socialism so much, good for you, because unfortunately socialism always gives you what you deserve. However, all us Americans that know better, if we can help it, are going to save you from your naivete. Everyone knows that socialism doesn’t work and never has. You say Chomsky is intelligent, that may be true and he may give some folks “a shiver up their leg”, but that does not mean that Chomsky isn’t misguided and very ignorant too, or else he would not want to keep revisiting a “failed ideal concept that only looks good on paper” Most of you folks buy stuff, really good stuff, like iphones, computers, food and clothing, all brought to you by free enterprise = business. Socialism will not give you the cool material things that you love so much and eventually socialism runs out of other people’s money for you to spend. What you end up with is just a big socialist toilet, that the people who run the toilet use to shut you up and flush you down – if that is what you want, well, good for you. At that point I suppose all of you socialists become docile, decent human beings that don’t curse and yell at your comrades and live happily ever after in “tyrannical paradise” where the government thinks for you and tells what and how to do every little thing. Why don’t you socialists just get a real job that makes money instead of always wanting to spend our money, it will definitely improve your mood and feelings of self worth and maybe you would quit sounding so mean to everyone too. Us Americans will always choose Liberty and Freedom not tyranny and slavery.

mesndblues   October 16th, 2009 - 7:52 pm

Why do we bother bickering back and forth about politics…Obama and his supporters are commies…Christ people, our brave soldiers have been dying and fighting against communism for decades now, and now half our fellow citizens are being lead by a bunch of them…supporting commies!!! G.D.!! I watched a video of Obama’s white house communicaion director saying how her biggest hero was CHAIRMAN MAO SA TUNG!!!!! JESUS CHRIST ON SKATES!! EVEN JOHN LENNON IN A DOPE INDUCED STATE SANG “But if you going carrying pictures of chairman Mao, you ain’t gonna make it with anyone anyhow”..Lennon must have also known that 70 million chineese were murdered by Mao in PEACETIME!!! AND THESE MONSTERS ARE RUNNING OUR NATION!! WE ARE THE BAD GUYS NOW, AND ALL THANKS TO LIBS WHO THOUGHT THEY WERE CHANGING THE WORLD…WELL, YOUR CHANGE SUCKS!

Noam Chomsky Compares Right-Wing Media to â€Nazis’ and the Weimarer Republik as the high live of Germany?, this guy ought to get his head examined. It was the few and the rich and many of the so called philosophers, who lived for the most part off of their parents labor, spouting idiotic philosophies this man Chomsky finds so terrific. It was only they in the ‘Weimarer Republik’ that lived the ‘high live’. My grandfather and father lived thru that time and told me plenty of stories of how life looked like for most people at that time in Germany. It was starvation, unemployment, sickness, poverty and death everywhere. Like in the ‘Middle Ages’, every morning teams from the coroners office swept the streets of large cities and picked up the Dead so the living didn’t stumble over them. At night the living celebrated to have survived another day. That, mister Chomsky, was how life looked for most Germans in the 20’s.

Actions and words had meanings, just like today. Then it was the Versailles Treaties that handcuffed a nation until it almost died. In an environment like that, and with one government after another coming and going is it any wonder that people finally ‘chose’ a man who promised work, food and prosperity? Even so he needed to use murder and lies and deception all along the way to his chancellorship that he still would not have reached, if American money had not bailed him out time after time. This mister Chomsky, is a fact of life.

Today it is the sick notion of a certain party and leadership, that wants to control everything including breathing and is suffocating a nation that ones thrived in the process. What am I talking about, it IS their goal to finish off America for an undefined greater, global good.

This is to show we have learned nothing, the Nazi’s of yesteryear are the socialists and communists of today. Mister Chomsky, the ‘right wing’ in 2009 America is about as far away from the thinking of the German Nazi’s of the 30’s, as the West is from the East. You Sir should know that better than anybody else on earth, your people have suffered the most and I would think you know the difference by now. What has happen to you??

OK. I didn’t need to read all the comments to get the gist of it. So much rancor I could not have read all of it anyway. Yes Chomsky is a long time communist and right there his criticism of conservatives should be treated with a grain of salt.
There are people with fascist beliefs among Democrats and Republicans. But the Dems are far worse and they have most of the power right now. What do you call it when the government tells an auto manufacturer the specifications of the vehicles it will produce? Fascism. What do you call it when the government begins down the path of deciding what medical treatment will be available, who will get it, and how long they will wait? Fascism What do you call it when the government begins to tell medical doctors that the killing of fetuses is the right of women, no matter it is an issue of conscience for the doctor who is obligated to perform the evil act? Is that not fascist too?
And what about manmade global warming? I believe Goebbels said that the bigger the lie, the more people would believe it. Many have fallen for this hoax for too long, lets hope it dies in time to save us from more economy damaging legislation.
I am not a wingnut or a paid agent of a cabal, merely a former liberal whose heart and mind changed. Please stop believing the lies of communists and America haters. We need our moral compass back, and we need to stop blaming true conservatives who are benevolent and staunch defenders of this free republic.

Sammy   October 17th, 2009 - 2:19 am

Mr. Chomsky:

It is amazing that a “man of letters” doesn’t understand the definition os fascism. I know you think you do but in case not and in the hopes that it may not be too late for you to understand the end game results of your political chicanery and your true fascistic advocacy (slavery for the common weil) Mr. Chomksy I offer you an acceptable dictionary definition of fascism. Perhaps you may be blessed with an epiphany to understand that those you rail against prefer the benefits of limited government. That’s hardly fascist. Okay enough said. Hope this helps!

Here is the defintion of Facism –

“a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.”

Mark   October 17th, 2009 - 2:20 am

And this guy is an intellectual? He doesn’t understand the basics of Nazi-ism
or National Socialism. Mr. Chomsky, the tea party people, conservatives,
free market lovers, we have grievances about what Obama is doing, turning our
country into a European socialist state with a top-heavy government running
every aspect of our lives. The people in Germany in the 1930’s that had the real
grievance were the Jews and the people who stood silently by too fearful
to speak up against what was going on. You seem to say the agrieved party
were the Nazis. Let’s make the right comparison. We conservatives and liberty
loving people are parallel to the Jews in Germany. The Nazis used death camps to crush their freedom and
Obama and the Democrat congress are using the instrumentalities of government to tax, control
and regulate us out of our liberty and freedom. Get it straight, brother.
Mark Tulsa, OK.

Elistists My Ess   October 17th, 2009 - 2:45 am

The comments here are so hilarious and reactionary. Obama won. Get over it. One good thing conservatives, Hee Haw is going on Nickelodeon. And not to worry – the price of Skoal won’t rise.

Why listen to a known, tired old Marxist and pro-Mao advocate. This `useful idiot’ is an idiot, yet he feeds off capitalism because he uses banks, owns property and numerous personal possessions. He, like most commies who live in America, epitomizes hypocrisy!

Sean R.   October 17th, 2009 - 10:27 am

Let me add my two cents here and move onto the next topic, to you Noam Chumpskykov, do
you even know what the word “nazi” mean you pathetic senile dumbass? The word nazi clearly
mean “NATIONAL SOCIALIST GERMAN WORKERS PARTY”! Try study history again Chumpskykov instead
of spewing out hatred and pure rubbish, that goes for all of you leftist that post here,
since you left wing clowns claim to be so damn smart, try making some valid points, and
valid argument and try to give out some historical facts, instead of acting like a bunch
of 10 year olds!

To Gay Old Whatever, YAWN (an angry yawm from me)! If your dumbass think that your butt-plug
senile friend Chumpskykov is right, then PROVE it to all of us, since where too damn
illiterate and stupid to your warped leftist/progresstard mindset you retard! Go along
and through stones at the glass houses in your area you freak.

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!!!

SanFranciscoGo   October 17th, 2009 - 11:18 am

To Elitists My Ess, we are all happy that you love Hee Haw and skoal. good for you. The point is, is that if something is not right and you know it is wrong like socialism and spending other folks money, then you do not have to “get over it” and should not “get over it”. Typical of the socialist toilet mentality, they always try to insult rational people and tell them to shut up. Well, you know what, Mr. Chomsky, everyone is tired of your silly worn-out, failed concepts and perhaps you should “get over it”.

Well he is an M.I.T. guy…you have to be quite intelligent to get in the door…as a resident of the state, it is a much better school than Harvard…
I agree with everything he is saying…
all of the “YES” people out there will see in a very short time “American’s have been lied to” and some of us will not stand for it!
Question, question question is the way to go…so many people in this country are apathetic and do not care what happens…they will be the first to yell out “THAT IS NOT FAIR” when their jobs no longer exist, homes are gone and health insurance is a long gone memory of the days gone by..
So all of you liberals out there will be crying “DO SOMETHING” but no one willbe listening to you!
“You beget what you begot”

MtnGoat   October 17th, 2009 - 5:26 pm

Come on folks…the Nazi’s were socialist.National *Socialist* party.

I know the left wants to disown the Nazi’s, but the sad fact is…the Nazi party and all fascist govts are left wing. The fake spectrum pushed for years with communism on one end and fascism on the other is irrational. Communism, socialism, and facism all share the same common root…the idea that individuals should be subservient to the State or ’society’.

A proper political spectrum that is consistent would be total State control of society one one end and it’s opposite, anarchy, on the other.

QUESTION AUTHORITY   October 18th, 2009 - 2:13 am

CelticEars   October 18th, 2009 - 6:14 am

History of Nazi Germany is fascinating and boring at the same time. I grew up hearing about the war and it became a hobby for many years. To understand what gave rise to the Nazis you have to start at the end of WWI and study through to the beginning of WWII. You might say that Nazi Germany is an example of an extremely despotic government and Stalin was no different. My dad was not happy about my studies because he feared I would become a Nazi but what happened was quite the opposite. I learned how to be a better American, love my Constitution and spot the bull crap. P.S. Nazi was an abbreviation for Nationalsozialist Deutche Arbeits Partei(National Socialist German Worker’s Party).

Celtic Ears   October 18th, 2009 - 6:25 am

P.S.S. I forgot, The Nazi concentration camps used jewish “coppos”. Those were jews who cooperated with the Nazis to control their “brother inmates” and I use that term loosley.

HGLuter   October 18th, 2009 - 10:38 am

I believe that the term “Nazi” is specifically associated with Hitler and a hatred of Jews and Catholics. In that sense, Chomsky is clearly wrong. I don’t know of, and never heard, any Republican state or imply this. What Chomsky may actually be referring to is fascism, which can be attributed to both Republicans and Democrats. Fascism has elements of state control of industry (Obama/GE, Obama/banks, Obama/auto industry), intense nationalism (Republicans), euthanasia (Democratics, at least the progressive wing). Throughout the years, both parties have demonstrated aspects of fascism. (Nixon instituted a wage freeze to control inflation.) Unfortunately with people like Chomsky cavalierly throwing around the term “Nazi”, the true horror of that regime is being lost.

I love it when the old chestnut of NAZIS being socialists is mentioned.Yes , the name is there .Do you know what the CONSERVATIVES are called in Portugal and formerly in Brazil ?Social Democrats , the same as Lenin´s bolsheviks . Does that make them so ?No it does not . Even Milton Friedman said in Capitalism and Freedom 1962 that political freedom was not present in what was essentially a capitalist economy and society .
In addition , if you look at the voting records of inter war Germany you find that the combined “socialist” vote is REMARKABLY stable at around 13 million votes or 40%. In contrast , the Conserative , Chrsistian Decmocrat, Nationalist vote on the right is up and down like a yo- yo .Said fluctuations have about a 99.99% correlation with rises and falls in the NASDP- NAZIS support. I wonder where Hitler was getting his support from?

The profile of a NAZI voter was a traditional Christian Conservative right supporter , oh I don´t know a kind of non Jewish Johnny Goldberg . The reason Hitler´s rhetoric against the Jewry made such hesdway is because the populace had beed softened up by the Catholic Church , the Conservative parties and their play upon the fact that the left parties were invariably staffed and led by Jews .This , in STARK contrast to the Conservative parties ,of course.

Johnny Goldberg might have been a leader on the left in 1930´s Germany or a hate figure in Sarah Palin land Germany. Gratitude and self awareness cannot be two of his strongest characteristics – or indeed two of his characteristics.
