You been listening to CNN and too much left nonsense. While refusing to look to see the mirror of your own thinking and its similarities. How boring as it has not a thing to do with Trumps followers. Your so far out on a ledge you should have took a parachute.
You should move on off the racist nonsense of yours.
That’s quite an assessment. How about this instead? I study, write, and teach about the Holocaust for a living and am slightly alarmed when I start to hear rhetoric used in Nazi Germany being employed by modern politicians, no matter their party affiliation. As should we all, I’d hope.You been listening to CNN and too much left nonsense. While refusing to look to see the mirror of your own thinking and its similarities.

I’m alarmed at Black Lives Matter, the Black Panthers, Rev Racist of Chicago and the Nation of Islam and Obama race baiting and card playing blah, blah, blah. And I went to college in the Big-8/Southwest Conference when racism in america and the south was very very real. Can’t count how many time we went and ate corn bread and soul food with the brothers because of the “No Colored allowed” signs. I have a first class education on racism in America. Your comparison does not a thing for me.
P.P.S. FWIW, I found this a little interesting, Trump supporters’ second choice? Trump.
I haven’t questioned your own history or knowledge. I mentioned my background because you wrongly assumed that I’ve been “listening to CNN and too much left nonsense.” It’s unclear why you’re sharing your own. Perhaps you could explain why a comparison shouldn’t be made between the policies of the Third Reich and the refugee policy advocated by Trump. I appreciate open-minded dialogue but if this is getting to be too personal in nature for you, that’s fine – we can move on.I’m alarmed at Black Lives Matter, the Black Panthers, Rev Racist of Chicago and the Nation of Islam and Obama race baiting and card playing blah, blah, blah.

Oh please
God forgive me but really?..and what do you believe Trump was doing by having those people make the pledge the way he did?
I friend on Facebook shared a petition he signed which asks Bernie supporters to never vote for HRC. I can’t remember the last presidential election during which there was so much discussion in March about whom one might vote for in November if his or her first choice didn’t make the ballot.
But at the same time, I’m not trying to bring abortion into this but if a pro-life activist or a film, of which there is one, compared the millions aborted to concentration “death” camps, you would find that offensive.
No, no – he’s had no idea whatsoever: cnn.com/2016/03/08/politics/donald-trump-adolf-hitler-comparison-response/Oh please
Do you really expect me to believe that a man of Trump’s caliber was just innocently asking people for a pledge to vote for him? Come on. Whose being blinded here by a smoke screen! **He knows that people have been equating him with Hitler. Why should he not capitalize on it? **It’s like the old saying goes “there is no such thing as bad publicity” and every good businessman knows this. The way I see it is he is the one mocking those who say he is like Hitler with his little demonstration.
I’m unsure to what you’re referring – or perhaps what assumption you’re making. I believe there’s a case to be made regarding a comparison between abortion and genocide, and I think I’ve stated this elsewhere on CAF.
Abortion and Genocide, okay to make a comparison.
I can’t either; but I don’t mind it too much. Seems like a natural consequence of the fact that so many qualified Republicans wanted to get the nomination (and maybe some of them stayed in after they *should *have dropped out
).I find anyone who brings up their qualifications on-line much to be desired. I bought up my practical experience because in my mind there is no better education on racism in America, whats unclear is why you don’t see your own double standards. Why would I want to discuss Hitler and your speculation and nonsense and figment of the imagination when you can’t accept the factual reality surrounding you of Obama. And yes I think you should move on or we’ll be talking this mirror repetitively as you see. Conjecture is all you have while ignoring factual reality.
Thank you – I understand now. No, I do not believe it’s appropriate to use the term ‘Holocaust’ for any event other than the Nazi genocide against the Jews. There are multiple reasons for this but like you, I don’t want to entirely derail the thread. Genocide is a far broader term that may, in fact, apply to abortion – at least there’s a possibility.
I get that. I do.
Quite right and I would never suggest they were the same or even similar. But there were other anti-Jewish policies enacted by the Third Reich and other language used to describe them – and I’d suggest that there are similarities between those policies and language and what we’re hearing about Muslims today. And by no means is it just Trump. Last fall a bill was introduced to the House that would have made discrimination legal by permitting Christian Syrian refugees while excluding those who are Muslim.
Oh, heavens! That sounds like something the Gestapo would do.
This forum is nothing if not predictable. I noted my background to defend myself against the assertion that I’m a left-leaning rube who can’t think for herself. And of course now I’m some sort of elitist academic. How terribly expected.
Has not a thing to do with Trump nor anyone else but in your imagination. National security which Obama cares not a thing about is all they are talking about. You have no point grace and bootstrapping that to Nazi Germany is absurd.Thank you – I understand now.

I think much the same about those making personal assumptions about those with whom they’re speaking.
