Comparisons to the Nazis are deeply offensive and only serve to diminish and trivialize Rush Limbaugh

That's how it should read.

Shaming Rush Limbaugh? How is that possible?

Weigel,

The ADL has pulled this item from its website. I checked both your link and the ADL website.

Someone got to Abe Foxman. Get off your ass and find out who!

[...] Read the original here: The Washington Independent » Anti-Defamation League Condemns … [...]

As somebody mentioned already, the link to the ADL's press release is dead, while the headline is still there. To me it looks like that the site has been hacked. Please find out and a big thanks for your work!

Where was the ADL when Durbin said conservatives were using ” Brown Shirt Tactics”? Where were they when Hundreds of Posters portrayed Bush as Hitler? I did a Google and its clear they were silent. So this fake outrage is just that. Fake based in partisan politics.

It is about time someone stood up to these right wing radio fascists. These people lie so often that it is laughable. Who remembers when RUsh said that the stimulus had “4 billion” in it for ACORN? When they get busted they never apologize. THey just move on to the next lie.

Do right wqingers realize that their leader is a DRAFT DODGER, THREE TIMES DIVORCED, OXYCONTIN ADDICT?

Umm, they must have recognized brownshirt tactics when they saw them. Just because you guys haven't agreed on outfits yet doesn't mean the term doesn't fit.

Anyone else find it peculiar that all the radio Nazis have German surnames? Limbaugh, Weiner (a SAVAGE Weiner), Beck. If it wasn't for the Irish fascists I'd think there was an immigration issue going back to the 1600s, when they let all those Germans in….

The difference between the Democrat connection of Bush to Hitler and the Repukeliscum Hitler allusions is that Bush WAS and REMAINS a FASCIST. The connections of Bush to Hitler are 100% accurate.

Sad to say Pelosi is the one who started this NAZI crap. Don't believe me, read what the Atlantic has to say:

http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily…

The questioner asked if she believed the protests were a “legitimate, grassroot opposition” and when prompted by the interviewer whether they were astroturf, she said “well you be the judge.” Then she notes that “They're carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare.”

So Rush and the rest of the wingnuts are reacting to that.

I liked Rush better when he was high on drugs

Whalverson, they were, images were all over the news. Pelosi just mentioned what we all saw.

Poedlib, yeah, Prescott Bush was one of the bankers for the third Reich. He got busted for trading with the enemy in 1942. Prescott never had to surrender the money they earned from their activities.

Dencal26, he said they were using brownshirt tactics, he didn't call them brownshirts. Big difference.

borisjimbo, sociopaths can't feel shame.

Did you happen to read the post from Sullivan that you referenced?

Did your google search provide a citation where Mr Durbin made this statement?

I was interested in what she said, now how Sullivan spun it. I figure she knew what kind of hornet's next she poked when she mentioned it.

In case you don't remember, a fascist is someone who over-rides dissenting voices becasue they have power. So if the name desribes Bush, does it also fit Obama? A true liberal would be appaled at the stunts Obama and Bush pulled off in the name of thier idols.

I, for one, am tired of the Right excusing their own bad behavior with a childish “they did it first!!” reply.

You must be using telepathy to infer my comment was an excuse for bad behavior. I would expect Rush to foam at the mouth over what Pelosi said because he is – like my comment said, “a wingnut”. Guess you missed that.

But at least you acknowledge her 'bad behavoir' by refering to NAZI symbols in the first place. That's a start.

I would hope she would use her brains before she say things like “swastikas” in front of a microphone; I would expect a drug-using infotainment huckster to react to it the way he did.

Sorry Swami, Limbaugh is Flemish, not German:

http://www.houseofnames.com/xq/asp.fc/qx/limbau…

O'Rielly is uh … gee well let's guess … and Wiener is is Jewish, not German. Beck, well hey yeah, tha's a German beer, so I guess you win 1/4.

Looks like it was Baird of Wash State:

http://columbian.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=…

Baird said he's using the new system because he fears his political opponents may be planning “an ambush” to disrupt his meetings, using methods Baird compared to Nazism. “What we're seeing right now is close to Brown Shirt tactics,” Baird, D-Vancouver, said in a phone interview. “I mean that very seriously.”

In case the readers of this are too young to remember, a lot of heads got smashed in the '60s over VietNam. So far the health care tussle has not even been a tea dance yet.

Exactly.

So Ms Pelosi is at fault for mentioning not the people who showed up with the signs and the inferences? That is about as bizarre as it comes and selective since Mr Sullivan said just the opposite of what you implied by citing him!!

In fact I also found the same statement made by U.S. Rep. Brian Baird (D) Washington

http://www.columbian.com/article/20090806/NEWS0…

Sorry – I'll make the point again: I was citing that post because it had the actual words that came out of her mouth. I don't care what Sullivan had to say about it.

Speakers of the House are not our mommy or daddy. They don't get to say what they want. Every word they say will get wrung out as many ways as they have enemies or friends. She was asked if she thought the opposition was legitimate, and she said no. And then she put her foot so far up her mouth it came out the other end.

What good did that do? Why did she say it?

She is at fault for not understanding or not caring how her words are going to effect people who are already very angry at a dodgy plan that will put the federal government in charge of another 17% of the economy. That may be OK with you, beause you trust the people in charge now – for another few years – unless you also think we should just stop having elections now. But can you imagine how scared that makes the rest of us feel? Look what Nixon and Bush did. If you think your team is any different, you have not read enough history.

And that is the ultimate point those people with the anti-swastikas signs were trying to make: more central power for anybody is alwasy a bad idea, unless there is absolutely no other way, and then you better make it temporary.
.

Yup .. a lot different than Pelosi saying the CIA lied to her …. Glad the right winguts are our only hypocities ….

Draft dodger? You mean Rush is a draft dodger? Did the Army actually send him a draft notice? If you believe Wikipedia, you are wrong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_Limbaugh#Draf…

“Limbaugh's birthdate was ranked as 175 in the Vietnam War draft lottery. No one was drafted above 125. He was classified as “1-Y” (later reclassified “4-F”) due to either a football knee injury or a diagnosis of Pilonidal disease.[3][7]“

That thing call a 'pilonidal disease' is really a hariy butt-crack cyst that can be surgically removed. I know, I had one removed to qualify to military service. I never got called either. Does that make me a draft dodger?

Yes, everywhere, showing 'anti-NAZI' symbols. That is not what she called our attention to, was it?

Why did she mention it at all? It was totally uncalled for. She stated her view (which a lot of people at the ralleys would not agree with) that the demonstrators were not legitimate. And then she pulled an Obama: a throw-away line that never should have been said. (Stupid police)

What good did it serve?

I expect a lot more from the Speaker of the House than I do from an infotainment huckster.

Won't Rush and others calling Obama and his Administration “Nazis” alienate the Neo-nazi types in this country? Sounds like Rush is forgeting who his base is. Also shows that Rush and anyone else who calls Obama a Nazi doesn't really know much.

If you think I was referring to you in particular, I suspect you are merely hearing the echo of your conscience. I'm merely referring to the belief (expressed by many on the Right), that their behavior reflects their version of bad behavior they condemned when done by the Left. If this is you, then there you go. If not, why would you ever complain about it?

This isn't about whether public officials insult the public (after all, we have a mechanism for fixing that–it is called the ballot box). This is about the Right maintaining a consistency of ethical standards. The more people talk about what Nancy Pelosi does as if it has anything at all to do with their own behavior, the more I'm convinced such ethical standards are not even being sought anymore, let alone being reached.

The only thing consistent about the Right – I assume you mean Limbaugh – is he will use anything to make a point. The people with the 'anti-swastika' signs? They wanted to point out their opnion that they think the Oboys are ramming a dodgy plan down their throats.

I compained about Pelosi because she lacked the discipline to ignore the signs. Or she did it deliberately, so people would focus on the symblols, and not their message of protest.

It think it is best not to assume at all, yes?

By the Right, I mean the virtual cornucopia of commentators (from Savage to Levine to Limbaugh to Beck to F&F to Hannity….). The Wall of Sound coming from the commentators on the Right demonstrate the selective outrage (coupled with amnesia of their own actions just one administration before) which consistently excuse their own words, actions, and exhortations because of past perceived over-the-top abuses by the Left.

Shouting down speakers at town hall meetings is excused because of “Code Pink.” Holding up awful signs rather than engaging in any meaningful fact harvesting is excused because of Pelosi. Or Barney Frank, or Acorn. Or any number of code words designed strictly to work up the base.

As a conservative, I'm embarrassed that the Conservative cause has been hijacked by angry yahoos without scruples or respect for the process. It is sad that the person most exhibiting traditionally conservative behavior is Barack Obama (his “stupid” comment, directed at the action and not the officer, aside).

So you're saying there are no German Jews? An interesting proposition in light of the Holocaust. And everyone knows that there is a huge Irish problem, we are just too polite to mention it in company.

And out of curiosity I looked at, oh, http://www.limbaugh.net, which says:
George Frederick Limbaugh was born about 1737 in Germany. On September 26, 1753 George Frederick Limbaugh arrived in America with his father, Johannes Michael Limbaugh, on the ship, The Brothers, captained by William Main. They settled in Colebrook Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania where George Frederickmet and married Anna Catharine Ritter on April 9, 1758. They had six sons: Johannes (John) Limbaugh, George Frederick Limbaugh, Peter Limbaugh, Henry Limbaugh, Christian Limbaugh and Michael Limbaugh.

And this is, in fact, the same family. So you stand corrected. As if Belgians had ever done anything but put raspberries in the beer vat and ruin the Congo.

This is indeed an ongoing discussion. When the Hitler Government took over, it took away the german nationality of all german Jews. We all (hopefully) know the results.
When West Germany (opposite to East Germany) took the responsibilty of the countless crimes against humanity, committed by the Nazi Regime, in it's constitution (Art. 116.2) it reinstated the Nationality of all German Jews.
More here (sorry it's in german, as my english is not good enough to explain it correctly).
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Juden

In the Israel Passports was stamped for a long time, that the passports, have no valididy when used in Germany. Jews, who decided to return to Germany, or stay in Germany, have been critized by Jews worldwide.
In the last decades it changed, as Germany imho has proven to have changed.
Nowadays and fortunately many German Jews come back to Germany.
I was born in 1953 as german. I am lucky to have grown up in a family, who knew right and wrong and luckily we have been raised with the right values and to take our own personal responsibilities.
“Never again” had and will always have it's meaning -> NEVER AGAIN!

The ADL is quick to jump all over conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh when he likened President Barack Obama's healthcare logo to a swastika and compared the Democrats to the Nazis.

They were much quieter about Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's reference to a swastika and “Nazis” when she claimed that hecklers were Nazis.

Why the double standard? Does anyone really listen to the ADL anymore?

doesn't limbaugh know that by his even being on this earth,is offensive? Just look at how fat and obese he is. and is he trying to be “gay”,sucking on those huge cigars?
I just wish he would talk english so I could understand what kind of filth he is spewing from his pig infected mouth!

I read your post because you indicated you were going to make a point again.

But I read it several times and fail to see any point made.

Well, you did establish that you have mommy and daddy issues. Mommy and Daddy aren't the only ones who can say whatever they want. Elected officials, like the citizens they represent, can also say anything they want.

Speaker Pelosi did not “put her foot up her mouth” just because some idiot right-wing cranks choose to distort what she said. There's no reason for you to avoid making a statement just because some jackass will twist your words.

You think progressivism is a road to Hell, paved with good intentions.

May you one day go the way of progressivism. If you don't make it all the way to Hell, you'll find out that you didn't know jack shit about progressivism.

If you make it all the way to Hell, tell 'em Stephen Perry gave you good directions.

Watch out for the construction on the Karl Rove Parkway. He didn't pave it with good intentions, he paved it with lies.

Sorry – I'll make the point again: I was citing that post because it had the actual words that came out of her mouth. I don't care what Sullivan had to say about it.

Speakers of the House are not our mommy or daddy. They don't get to say what they want. Every word they say will get wrung out as many ways as they have enemies or friends. She was asked if she thought the opposition was legitimate, and she said no. And then she put her foot so far up her mouth it came out the other end.

What good did that do? Why did she say it?

1 – Karl Rove does not claim to be a progressive.

2 – Just like Axelrod, Rove is amoral.

whalverson – I'll give you Rove isn't a progressive if you give me there is a patch of highway to hell named after Rove.

Rove set the bar pretty high. We'll have to see if David Axelrod can meet or exceed the standard.

[...] Aug 7 – Rush Limbaugh and FOX News continue to call President Obama “Hitler and a “Nazi”. [...]

Shaming Rush Limbaugh? How is that possible?

Considering that the nationalization of industry was one of the first things that the Nazis did, the comparison was apt. If we never want the holocoaust to ahppen again, we must be every wary about governments gaining too much power. THOSE WHO DO NOT LEARN FROM HISTORY WILL BE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT!
