Nailed ya, eh po, Curt, et.al.. Baha! From Goldwater on!!!!!!

To update a famous quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin: In this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes — and Democrats labeling the Republican presidential candidate a fascist for the last 60 years.

It’s been an integral part of the Democratic political playbook, utilized almost as much as calling the Republican nominee a racist. Yet, somehow, after each warning, the Third Reich has yet to materialize in the United States. This includes when former President Donald Trump was president from 2017-2021. Despite six decades’ worth of Democratic warnings of impending fascist doom failing to come true, it has never prevented the left-wing party from engaging in Reductio ad Hitlerum.

However, the constitutional republic’s appointed candidate for president, Vice President Kamala Harris, made headlines Wednesday when she stated that she believed Trump was a fascist. This tired, old, baseless trope lacks insight and intelligence. Most importantly, it is dishonest.

You gotta read the whole thing! Keehee hoo ha.

Can you show us an article of Republicans calling the Republican nominee* a fascist? *Besides Donald Trump by Indy! on October 25, 2024 9:40 am 60 years of Republicans calling Democrats communists. And socialists. by oldedude on October 25, 2024 1:12 pm indy- Because you are? Big brother government, social handouts, everyone working for the government, socialized medicine, lack of states' rights, centralized education, just to name a few. Curt-Maybe comparing Republicans to Nazis started with the 1964 presidential race. Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater accepted an invitation to visit an American military installation in Germany. On "CBS Evening News, "correspondent Daniel Schorr said: "It is now clear that Sen. Goldwater's interview with Der Spiegel, with its hard line appealing to right-wing elements in Germany, was only the start of a move to link up with his opposite numbers in Germany." The reaction shot — when the cameras returned to anchor Walter Cronkite — showed the "most trusted man in America" gravely shaking his head. Or maybe it began when Goldwater accepted the GOP nomination, and Democratic California Gov. Pat Brown said the "stench of fascism is in the air." Or maybe the Republicans-as-fascists narrative really jump-started during the 1968 presidential campaign.ABC hired left-wing pundit Gore Vidal and matched him with conservative pundit William F. Buckley for convention commentary. Quarreling with Buckley over the impact of anti-Vietnam War dissidents, Gore called Buckley a "crypto-Nazi." More recently, former Vice President Al Gore said: George W. Bush's administration unleashed "squadrons of digital brownshirts" every day "to harass and hector any journalist who is critical of the president." Entertainer and liberal activist Harry Belafonte, when asked whether the number and prominence of blacks in the Bush administration suggested a lack of racism, said, "Hitler had a lot of Jews high up in the hierarchy of the Third Reich." Then-NAACP Chairman Julian Bond pulled out the Nazi card in 2004 while criticizing congressional Republicans and the White House: "They preach racial equality but practice racial division. .. . Their idea of equal rights is the American flag and Confederate swastika flying side by side." Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who dared to rein in excessive public employee compensation packages, received the full Nazi treatment. The hard-left blog Libcom.org wrote: "Scott Walker is a fascist, perhaps not in the classical sense since he doesn't operate in the streets, but a fascist nonetheless. ... He is a fascist, for his program takes immediate and direct aim at (a sector of) the working class." This brings us to the recently concluded GOP convention. California Democratic Party Chairman John Burton offered this analysis: "(Republicans) lie, and they don't care if people think they lie. As long as you lie, (Nazi propaganda minister) Joseph Goebbels — the big lie — you keep repeating it." In dismissing Republican concern over the possibility of voter fraud, Pat Lehman of the Kansas delegation told The Wichita Eagle: "It's like Hitler said, if you're going to tell a lie, tell a big lie, and if you tell it often enough and say it in a loud enough voice, some people are going to believe you." Next up is the chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party. Dick Harpootlian compared the state's GOP governor to Hitler's mistress. When told the Republicans were holding a competing press conference at a NASCAR Hall of Fame basement studio, Harpootlian told the South Carolina delegation: "(Gov. Nikki Haley) was down in the bunker, a la Eva Braun." How casually Democrats make Hitler-Nazi-fascist references to demean their political opponents is astonishing. By calling political opponents "fascists" because of policy disagreements, Democrats trivialize a regime responsible for exterminating 6 million Jews in a war that resulted in the deaths of over 50 million people. This Oakland students/"Schindler's List" disconnect is aided and abetted by leftists such as Gore, Bond and Burton who shout words like "Nazi" or "fascist" or "Hitler" at conservatives. And, no, it appears they have no shame. investors.com democraticunderground.com by HatetheSwamp on October 25, 2024 1:34 pm "Yawn. Can you show us an article of Republicans calling the Republican nominee* a fascist? *Besides Donald Trump" Define Republican. by Indy! on October 25, 2024 2:00 pm by oldedud on October 25, 2024 1:12 pm indy- Because you are?

Except I'm not a Democrat, Odorous. Ooops. 👎 by meagain on October 25, 2024 2:05 pm od! You don't say where that Gish Gallop of BS came from or who wrote it. However, the Nazis killed six million Jews, not the Fascists and then it was Hitler's sole belief not even of the extreme extension of Fascism that was Nazism. Calling American Fascists what they are is not trivialising the Holocaust. It is warning against totalitarianism a la Trump. On another note re your post to indy enumerating his faults. Anyone who does not believe in State handouts and "socialised" medicine is unfit to be a member of society. The other points need clarification. Big government etc. are basically calling cries of the selfish and anti-social. Define what you mean by big government and other "bigs" so that you can be "instructed" in the purpose of government and society. Government exists only to further the benefits of society to all citizens. by Indy! on October 25, 2024 2:24 pm I've never once advocated for any of those things. Just OD's faltering mind faltering on him again. I've advocated for socialized health insurance. None of those other things (not that I'm against them). by HatetheSwamp on October 25, 2024 2:52 pm Gang, If the accusation fit any of them, I suppose it fits Trump. But, Dems have run that play too often. It doesn't work... even on Trump... with anyone who doesn't already practice deranged TrumpHate. by oldedude on October 25, 2024 3:07 pm None of those other things (not that I'm against them). That's the point🙄🙄🙄 by oldedude on October 25, 2024 3:19 pm However, the Nazis killed six million Jews, not the Fascists and then it was Hitler's sole belief not even of the extreme extension of Fascism that was Nazism. Calling American Fascists what they are is not trivialising the Holocaust. It is warning against totalitarianism a la Trump. Hitler is considered a fascist regime, and here in the states, the dims use the terms Nazism and fascism equally to define the GOP (right, wrong, or indifferent, which they have done for decades. Adolf Hitler's ideology was fundamentally fascist. Although the Nazi Party was called the National Socialist Workers Party, it was based on race and fundamentally different from class-focused socialism. Nazism emphasized German racial superiority, strict obedience to leaders, and the subordination of the individual to the state. Question though.
