While I do understand the inclination to draw comparisons between the Fox/Luntz/Rove/Koch propaganda machine and the Nazi propaganda machine, actually seeing it in video is another story. Ron Paul supporters, though, edit a scene showing Nazis in a meeting with Hitler. In the video, Hitler pulls aside Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh to complain about Paul’s rise in the polls. Hitler chastises them for not twisting Paul’s words enough.
I am absolutely no fan of Paul. I agree that he’s not a favorite of the Republican machine, but to make light of Hitler is offensive at its core, especially when Paul himself has a reputation as being both racist and antisemitic.
no one should ever say ”we have had enough of the adds with hitler in them”
there should not be adds with hitler in them. hitler was one of the most evil of scourges to walk the planet.. no, we must never forget him, but to use him in a political farce add, is bad, and to use him in an american political add of any type is even worse.
yes, most every country, yes america dealt with hitler, out of pure greed, the same damn greed that is killing our country and its people today…. i believe it to be outragously inapppropriate to use hitler, especially for ron paul and his handlers. is ron maybe trying to tell us something….
extremely offensive, very offhanded and matter of fact, without any sense that there are some who have suffered emmensly , to the point of murder…. mothers, sons, fathers daughters, entire families….
And we read lowes should be shut down for supporting terrorism…. where the heck are the priorities in this country… i wouldnt vote for ron paul now if i were the king of the conservative republicans…..and he kissed me where the sun doesnt shine!
Bob D, sorry to belabor you with facts, but Ron Paul is both racist and anti-Semitic. He is also a homophobe. It’s all there in his public writings and speeches. It’s part of the public record, and you should educate yourself about it.
Paul also advocates an economic fantasy that has never actually worked anywhere anytime.
And there’s no Santa Claus either.
FWIW, that Hitler meme has been around for years… this is hardly the first time that footage has been re-subtitled with a different take on current events, etc. Alot of them are actually pretty funny.
Herr newt Gingrick should be hitler, and frau callista as eva braun… that would be a nice touch and do miracles for his campaign!…
“Paul has a reputation of being Racist and antisemetic”
And Wendy is calling Ron Paul’s supporters out for being tastless? At least they have some style. And usually support their opinions with facts. Wendy is a vapid mainstream shill.
Hello, and welcome to the Internet! I can tell you’re all new here, so I will offer you a little lesson. This scene, from the movie Downfall, has been editing and re-subtitled a gazillion times, with everything from anger over the Xbox 360 to…well, to politics. It’s what’s called a “meme.” Do a Google (a popular Internet search engine, by the way) search for “Downfall parody” and you will turn up scores of hits. It’s so commonly parodied that there is no longer any racist connotation, if there ever was.
Now that you know a little about this video, quit being so damned stupid and stop pretending there is controversary where there is none.
Once again, welcome to the Internet. Have you seen the funny cat videos yet?
What is this fascination conservatives have for calling people Nazi’s? The Nazi’s were not liberals by any stretch of the imagination. George W. Bush’s grandfather, Prescott, had his bank seized for trading with the enemy. He was Hitler’s banker in the U.S. Many top American industrialists dealt with Hitler as well.
