Still in denial about swastikas at town hall protests, Limbaugh takes on David Brooks

1 town hall participants were showing up with swastikas, etc.
2 That's calling them Nazis

non sequitur: one idea does not follow from another.

One example had a 'negation' symbol, implying that the person opposed either Nazis or Hindus (also possible: Native Americans had a form on 'swastika'). The implication from that is the person was protesting what they believed to be 'nazi-like', referring to the proposed Health Care (Insurance) Reform Bill.

"the radical left policies of the Nazis"

Up is down, black is white . . .

Nancy Pelosi did not start this. I started seeing references to Obama and Pelosi as Nazis just after the election. There was a contributor to the now defunkt MSN QnA who had an avatar of Obama as Hitler just after the election. That same image showed up at the teaparties back in April, there were also swastikas and SS insignia as well. Glenn Beck called Al Gore a Nazi for his global warming lectures this winter, too. The righteous Right started this trash, which is why I have been known to say "reichwingers." However, it needs to stop. There are several policies of President Obama that I disagree with, Afghanistan, and some retained Bush policies, to start with, but there is nothing that I have seen him do, or rumored to have done that would make me invoke Hitler. Rush needs to stop lying and he needs to get his stupid dittoheads to back down!

Limbaugh in a nut's hell: "They do it tooo!"

Rush has been comparing political opponents to Nazis for at least 17 years.

So now we're going to get into a "well, they do it too" and "well, they did it first" argument?

Really?

Limbaugh has decided to use January 20, 2001 as his start point. He complains that Democrats compared George W. Bush to Nazis. Setting aside the fact that an executive who ignores election results, lies his country into a discretionary war, implements policies that favor the rich and corporations at the expense of the population in general, perverts the justice system to reward political allies and punish political opponents, and implements warrantless searches and wiretaps, detention without charges, and other measures designed to curb individual liberties SHOULD BE compared to Nazis, I'll make the point that Limbaugh doesn't go back far enough.

After 20 years of "feminazis," "Der Schlickmeister," Der Schlickster, "Algore," (It's like Igor in the Frankenstein movie, get it? GET IT?), "the French looking Senator from Massachusetts," and "Barack Obama, like Hitler, ruled by dictate," I think we know Limbaugh is in no position to criticize anyone else for saying anything. Further, anything he says is a lie on its face, so he doesn't have the credibility to criticize anyone else, either.

It's less important to note what Limbaugh said than that Byron York went scurrying to tell the head of the Republican Party what that bad, bad man, David Brooks said on TeeVee.

Rush, Rush, waaaah, David Brooks said you were insane and, and I wanted to tell you first, was I first, huh, huh, was I? Well, what do you think, huh huh?

The Corner is a joke and so are the fools who occupy it. The long-term unemployable collecting welfare.

Don't forget this, either:

Pelosi started this, saying town hall participants were showing up with swastikas, etc. That's calling them Nazis...

This is a specific sort of lie that the Right has always been fond of, and it's a particularly blatant one. Pelosi was describing the sort of behavior that Limbaugh is accusing her of. Wingnuts love to do this with all sorts of hot-button topics: If you call out hatespeech, then you are a vicious hatemonger; if you call out racism, then you are the racist; if you point out the use of inflammatory Hitler comparisons, then you are the one making inflammatory Hitler comparisons.

Pelosi wasn't calling anyone a Nazi! Why can't somebody in the media come out and say that?

Rush is a total loon who needs mental health help. The only problem is the thanks to the sainted Ronald Regan then means Rush will only stay in the hospital until his insurance company stops paying then they can release him. Even if he is still a threat to others. He is one now by being a psycho provocateur.

A bit OT but...

As of Firday the DOW was up 17.9%, the S&P up 25.5% and the Nasdaq up 38.8% since Obama took office. (And that’s in just eight months! Not even a full year!)

Just thought you'd all want to know. (I guess "fascism" works, huh?) Moron.

But, what Pelosi said was true... we've all seen the pictures. Why aren't these "reporters" mentioning that simple fact?
