May 5, 2012 - watch?v=iKYLd1i7lTQwatch?v=8R7MNnoYktMWhat is your response to this?

DeludoSui Says:

May 5, 2012 - Hitler hated capitalism and the free market. Do you purposefully ignore facts?Those who refused to work were "reeducated", those that could not work received some of the best welfare and universal healthcare around. This is a socialist ideal.You know everyone working for the betterment of everyone. Not working hinders that and therefore you do not receive the benefit of the people.It is pretty clear that you simply repeat the talking heads on the TV or your daily kos.Nazi = Socialist

DeludoSui Says:

May 5, 2012 - I am sorry that you have been blinded by socialists who do not want their image tainted by that of one of their most ardent followers, Hitler. I am also sorry that the left has tried to distance itself to the point that for some reason it is widely accepted the the nazi party who wanted large government control of social and economic life is a right ideal even though those are ideals of the left.

MrReco12 Says:

May 5, 2012 - Wrong(again!) Hitler supported capitalism. Here he is with one of his capitalist friends: watch?v=Pyrc0PrIPnI and here is another rightwinger with his capitalist friend: watch?v=QTcL6Xc_eMMI do pity the Right, they have tried to disown their pro capitalist Furher and his mass murders ever since 1945. Even though thats where they get their ideas from!

MrReco12 Says:

May 5, 2012 - Hitler was a murderer of socialists and communists. A great tea party hero!

MrReco12 Says:

May 5, 2012 - Why did the Republican party support these criminals? watch?v=HzvpxrbWpVMwatch?v=L_vmIOafVOA

DeludoSui Says:

May 5, 2012 - Do you think your socialist government would allow strikes and collective bargaining after they are in control? I feel sorry for your ignorance.the nazi party were perfect socialists. THey are the result of the socialist ideals.

MrReco12 Says:

May 5, 2012 - watch?v=l9w6NG67Tmcwatch?v=dvtAutLNnTQIt seems that the Rightwingers in America took over from the Rightwingers in Germany! Both were murderers and supported Franco!

DeludoSui Says:

May 5, 2012 - LOL no no you are so bad at understanding anything. Do you simply repeat what people tell you?The nazi did not abolish tade unions. They disbanded in favor a larger more powerful union. They used these unions to take control of companies. They hated capitalism.

DeludoSui Says:

May 5, 2012 - Nazis were left wingers who hated capitalism.THey were a militaristic anti capitalist group IE nationalist socialists.

DeludoSui Says:

May 5, 2012 - Unrelated to the discussion.

DeludoSui Says:

May 5, 2012 - Hitler was a vocal opponent of capitalism. Please do some research.I pity the left and the socialist. Trying to cut ties with one of the people who actually managed to do what they preach. Yes hitler put into action the preaching of socialists.German equality united by working together for the betterment of the german people. Nazi germany was a glistening example of socialism in action. To say otherwise is to admit that you know NOTHING of politics and or history.

MrReco12 Says:

May 5, 2012 - HA HA HA! Do you ever stop failing? Hitler was a massive supporter of capitalism thats why the German capitalist Krupp said: The economy needed a steady or growing development. Because of the rivalries between the many political parties in Germany and the general disorder there was no opportunity for prosperity. ... We thought that Hitler would give us such a healthy environment. Indeed he did do that.Do you ever stop failing? Capitalists don't support socialist governments!

MrReco12 Says:

May 5, 2012 - HItler put into action the capitalist polcies champion by the right today: privatization, tax cuts for business, banning of strikes and collective bargaining, anti communist! They were Rightwing who supported capitalism and destroyed the trade union movement!

MrReco12 Says:

May 5, 2012 - German equality: HA HA HA!The Nazis were rightwing social Darwinist who opposed equality!

Amph1tryons Says:

May 11, 2012 - Wow Mr. Hedrick is an idiot - albeit a smug, self-righteous idiot. The Nazis were left-wing just as the Tea Party is populist. 

Amph1tryons Says:

May 11, 2012 - What a country we have become. Every moron high school dropout now thinks they're an expert of political science and 20th century history cause they watch that lunatic Glenn Beck. Self-promoters abound, like so many "entrepreneurs of rage", Glenn Beck will tell you the TRUTH! Just subscribe to his channel, buy his DVD series, follow his investment advice.

Amph1tryons Says:

May 11, 2012 - Fuck you. I won't applaud you for being a marine. Like that entitles you to something? You hippo-critical service men - MY TAX DOLLARS go to paying your salary dick. The marines are the problem. You are a government employee you hypocrite. The government spends $800 BILLION a year on the military - stop acting like you aren't part of the federal government you filthy communist. These dirty military men are really undercover pinkos.  Makes me sick. Get a job you lazy bum!

jlbrpt Says:

May 13, 2012 - The main difference between communists & socialists is that communism involves a violent overthrow of existing capitalist government. Nazis were fascists, power held by few in a strong, centralized gov't where gov't is more important than the individual, controls all land and business but does allow for some private business. Of course, the gov't can take over it whenever it sees fit. Sounds nothing like the Tea Party and everything like Obama's gov't

jlbrpt Says:

May 13, 2012 - Risking one's life for one's country deserves some input. Your tax dollars go to pay for the salary of a Marine, but so do the tax dollars of that same Marine. Marines are not the problem; the Marines follow orders. Marines are part of the federal gov't, that's true. But unlike Congressmen, they don't make laws. The defend the rights of idiot assholes like you to say stupid shit about them when you really should say, "Thank you!" I never served in the military, but I'm thankful to those that do.

jlbrpt Says:

May 13, 2012 - All fascist governments (like the Nazis) disdain the left because they feel the left wing is inadequate to describe their beliefs. And if by "populist" you mean the far-left wing media (aka ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN) definition (more like their Orwellian distortion of it), then you would be correct in saying the Tea Party is not populist. If you mean the actual definition, adherent of a political party that represents the interests of ordinary people, then the Tea Party is absolutely populist.

Amph1tryons Says:

May 13, 2012 - First thanks for replying so civilly. I was a bit rude with my posts. Anyway, I have a few issues with this. First, I don't even think of mainstream media as being essentially political. Their allegiance, in my opinion, is to profit alone and not to 'truth' or any political ideology (or national interest). And this is the great misconception about the mainstream media. I've read that every single major tv news outlet and newspaper is owned by 1 of 6 corporations: Disney, Viacom, NewsCorp.

Amph1tryons Says:

May 13, 2012 - ..like I don't think Roger Ailes really has any conviction (nor R.Murdoch) beyond furthering the interests of NewsCorp - if they thought running a leftist media empire would make them more money, they would in heartbeat (just as would Universal with MSNBC shift far right). Another thing is that the start of the Tea Party was absolutely orchestrated and top down - it was the opposite of a spontaneous grass roots movement - which is why I have trouble thinking of it as populist.

Amph1tryons Says:

May 13, 2012 - The third and final issue I take is that the Tea Party is furthering the interests of ordinary people. I believe that Tea Party members THINK that their ideologies are furthering their interests but I think they are very confused. I think the way they vote doesn't help them individually either economically/material or ..i guess ethically/morally (I'm talking about those set of issues that get all the media coverage like "gay rights" and abortion legislation).

Amph1tryons Says:

May 13, 2012 - I apologize. I was just trolling because I really don't like David Hedrick. You're right that we owe our service men respect in general BUT that doesn't mean we have to applaud them when they spew nonsense about how how communism and fascism are the same thing; a person who thinks we fought WW2 to protect ourselves from universal health care does not deserve my respect. I also think Hedrick is a shameless self-promoter who tried to build a career from this one moment.
