Quote of the Day

"If Joseph Goebbels was around, he’d be very proud of the Democrat Party, because they have an incredible propaganda machine."

Rep. Allen West

West was condemned by Democrats for comparing the party to Adolf Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda. Hitler was responsible for the Jews murdered during the Holocaust and the deaths of millions of American soldiers.

West then attacked the media was quoting him.

"Once again, you guys will take whatever I say and you will spin it to try to demonize me or demagogue me,” West added. “What I'm talking about is a person that was the minister of propaganda. And I'm talking about propaganda. So please. I'll be prepared to wake up tomorrow and you guys make up some crazy story. Whatever."

For someone who like portraying himself as a tough guy, West does a lot of crying. If West want to get better press than he can start by using less inflammatory rhetoric. Remember West's attack on Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.

"You are the most vile, unprofessional ,and despicable member of the US House of Representatives.

West's reason for calling Wasserman-Schultz names was because the DNC chairwoman correctly pointed out that West support Medicare cuts. It wasn't like Wasserman-Schultz said something about West's Mama. West's idea of being a tough guy is picking a pointless fight with a breast cancer survivor. What a big man.

Update: West cries to the media about how he was not comparing the Democratic Party to Joseph Goebbels. West then sends a letter to Rep. John Conyers comparing Democrats to Goebbels. West just can't help himself.

“Mr. Conyers, The Democrat Party does indeed have a vicious propaganda machine. It espouses lies and deceit and the Master of deceptive information would truly be proud,” West said, referring to Goebbels. “I have been personally attacked and denigrated on countless occasions. I do not appreciate your letter … Truth is Powerful Sir! Steadfast & Loyal, Allen.”

I guarantee that West will go to Fox News and cry about how Democrats and the media are picking on him for correctly quoting his words. West will not point out to Fox News that a study by Fairleigh Dickinson University found that viewers less informed after watching the conservative news network. West doesn't mind "deceptive information" from a news network, if the network in question gives him positive coverage.

Jared Loughner Was An Independent

The Washington Post reports Jared Loughner registered as an independent in 2006. He did not vote in the 2010 election. I doubt that will put an end to debate of which political side Loughner belongs to.

I have stated there is no evidence Loughner was involved with the Tea Party. There is evidence pointing to Loughner being an anti-Semite. The Department of Homeland Security is investigating whether Loughner is involved with the hate group American Renaissance. Loughner has read "Mein Kampf." Loughner's scary mug shot bears the appearance of a skinhead. None of this is conclusive. Hopefully, the criminal investigation will make matters clearer.

I don't blame Sarah Palin or Rush Limbaugh for the shooting deaths of six people. I do blame them for their despicable rhetoric. Many people of tired of the violent language used by conservative pundits and Republican politicians. Gabrielle Giffords' being shot was the breaking point for many progressives who tired of conservatives making jokes about killing liberals. Instead of Palin, Limbaugh and Glenn Beck understanding why the Left would be angered at being painted as targets for the Right's crosshairs they either played victim or accused the Left of playing politics. I have yet to hear a person call Palin or Beck the voices of centrist reason.

Latest Glenn Beck Bigotry

Glenn Beck using the death to pass on his bizarre conservative ideology that liberals play professional victim. Actually, what the Left has done is promote civil rights, gay rights, environmental protection, women's rights, health careand a laundry list of other things. Beck promotes that liberals should be silent and pull up their boot straps. What Beck what mention is some people don't even have boots. Conservatives such as Sharron Angle will say that the unemployed are "spoiled." Republicans have no problems exploiting the homeless by sponsoring them as Green Party candidates. Republicans will not support funding social programs to get the homeless off the streets.

Beck also delivers a bit of anti-semitic.

BECK: If he was a victim, and this theology was true, then Jesus would have come back from the dead and made the Jews pay for what they did.

The Romans killed Jesus. Peter blamed the Jews in his New Testiment book and bigots have been using it to justify their hatred. Beck is the guy who made the bogus attack that Barack Obama is a racist. So, it isn't a stretch to suggest Beck is spreading anti-semitic garbage. Unless Beck believes a single angry mob of Jews represents an entire race of people. That would make Beck a racist.

Let's Talk About the Two-State Solution

"Helen Thomas press pals condone racist rant? Heaven forbid "esteemed" press corps represent society's enlightened elite; rest of us choose truth"

Sarah Palin, on her Twitter account.

Exactly who are these members of the White House press corps that condone Thomas's racist rant. Thomas's remarks are getting condemned from the Left and Right. No member of the White House press corps would even think about defending Thomas.

Thomas's and Palin's comments reduce the Israeli-Palistinian conflict to the Red Sox & Yankees baseball rivalry. The United States isn't suppose to have a side to root for. The Obama administration needs to make the Israelis and Palistinians realize a two-state solution is the only viable answer. Debating which ethnic group should stay or go is counter productive. The 1947 United Nations Partition Plan for Palistine would have created two-states. The plan was rejected by Palistine Arab Higher Committee.

The Israeli and Palistinian conflict has conplicated America's foreign policy and been politically polarizing domestically. I don't buy the neo-conservative arguement that defending Israel is inperative to the United States nation security. I do wish to see the years of bloodshed on both sides end.

Meet Don Black: White Supremist Conspiracy Theory Nut

You may remember Don Black's son, Derek, attempted to get elected Palm Beach County's Republican Executive Committee. Black was disqualified because of his white supremist beliefs. The elder Black has served as the national Grand Wizard of the Klu Klux Klan. Don Black now runs the white supremist group Stormfront. The group's logo is "White Pride World Wide."

One of the great things about Twitter is it gives wingnuts a forum to embarrass themselves. Black tweeted the conspiracy theory that white genocide is occurring in South Africa.

Breaking News: Okay It's Here -- My New Video -- White Genocide in South Africa! -- Most important one I have don...

Black's evidence is a video by David Duke. Duke spreads the lie that blacks were free under apartheid. (That doesn't even pass the laugh test.) Duke quotes a BBC story about genocide of whites in South Africa. A search of Google finds no such article. Black's most important tweet is the rantings of a fellow white supremist.

A fun fact is that Duke received his PhD from the Interregional Academy of Personnel Management in the Ukraine. The Anti-Defamation League has described the school as the "University of Hate." The Ukrainian government condemned the Interregional Academy of Personnel Management for anti-semitism.

Duke also spread the myth that Obama wasn't born in the United States. Duke and Black disguise their hatemongering by masking their rhetoric with talk of civil and human rights. Their rhetoric about civil rights disappears when they fail to condemn their Stormfront followers for wishing the assassination Obama. It is hard to take Black and Duke seriously as civil rights advocates when they spent much of their adult lives wearing Klu Klux Klan robes.

Nazi Blog Bites Back

Anchorage Activist, at the blog White Reference, has taken exception to Alex Pickett's post. Activist takes exception to Jud Süß being labeled as anti-Semitic. Activist claims that the movie is pro-jewish. Joseph Goebbels selected Veit Harlan to make propaganda films. Goebbels was thrilled with the results of the film.

"An anti-Semitic film of the kind we could only wish for," Goebbels wrote in his diary. "I am happy about it."

Activist did not take exception with Pickett's description of White Reference as a Nazi blog.

(2). This blog, White Reference, is a "Nazi" blog. Not that this hurts my feelings; if being considered "racists" and "Nazis" hurt our feelings, we would not be racial nationalists. Besides, we know that lefties consider anything and anybody to the right of Barack Obama to be "racist" and "Nazi", so those designations lost their sting a long time ago. But if the TBO blogger had done any homework, the person would know that national socialism is a subset of racial nationalism. While racial nationalism is a philosophy, national socialism is a specific form of governance within that philosophy. More precisely, this blog promotes white nationalism, although I also recognize racial populists (like the BNP and the Council of Conservative Citizens) as being pro-White, and I do believe that Germany's National Socialists started out well.

Most people would be outraged by being called a Nazi. Not Anchorage Activist. The blog links to to the Klu Klux Klan web site. The KKK's history of lynchings is not about ethnic pride. The KKK are more than willing to murder. Check out the comment section in the White Reference post.

"""By 2012, White people will be looking for a tough White leader to kick that nigger out of the White House. """

But they won't be looking for someone who they would consider a "racist". That "label" automatically looses all democrat votes, most independent votes and many republican votes. Pride in ones race and racism need to be split just like the BNP did.

These commenters makes Freepers seem civil.

Goebbels himself said Jud Süß is an anti-Semitic movie. Why Activist has to go through the motions about lying about the movie's content is tiresome. Does anyone seriously believe White Reference would give Schindler's List a rave review?

Anchorage Activist is a Sarah Palin supporter. What a base Palin is building for the GOP. White supremists, birthers and tea baggers will chase people out of the Republican Party.

Keith Olbermann at the Human Rights Campaign Dinner

Keith Olberman eloquently recunts a story about his father not being hired for a job. The employers thought Olbermann's father was Jewish. The men asked what kind of food does his father eat and how he spent his Saturdays. Jews practice the Shabbat on Satudays and eat kosher foods. The employers were attempting to find out his Olbermann's father was Jewish. (He was not.) This form of questioning has nothing to do with architecture.
