Rachel Maddow.....?

I admit to being impressed by the fact that she can even be on television...though sometimes I wonder if this won't be a round-about way to eventually corrupt her...those high figure salaries news anchors get sort of put them in another class, a class that soon identifies with the rest of those in that class who have everything to gain by maintaining the status quo....but that's another issue.

I was surprised to hear say, in reference to the usual "this is like the Nazis" from the Right, that "nothing is like the Nazis", or ever will be so it's inappropriate to ever site the Nazis and people should stop it. That goes along with dropping the word Nigger from conversation as well as books....the word Nigger has a long and valid history...it MEANS something...it isn't just a derogatory term but a derogatory term signifying beliefs and ACTIONS once held by a majority in this nation and STILL to this day among many.

No doubt rapists would like to see the word replaced by "rough sex"...but it's rape, pure and simple.....Whites would like nothing more than to see not only the word Nigger disappear but also the truth of Jim Crow...they'd like to rewrite the actual history of the South and make the act of Treason committed by the South into a "fight for freedom".....changing language around, and disappearing history, is what most Fascists depend upon...but why should the rest of us help them do it?

Does Maddow mean that there can never again be anything like the Nazis? Does she really find the Nazi agenda somehow out of historical reality, like a bad dream that can never happen again, so why keep it alive in our memories? Can NOTHING ever be "like the Nazis" again? The other side to that is, "was there never anything "like the Nazis" before the Nazis? Was the Nazi movement really so unique...so unimaginable? Was it such an aberration...so unlike anything in human history that we can safely feel it never will happen again? And how can we be so confident anyhow?

Making dimwitted comments about how Obama is "just like Hitler" may indeed be ridiculous...but to point out that the Nazis murdered 1 million innocent children JUST for being Jewish, and the United States murdered three-quarter that number JUST for being Iraqi, seems to me to draw a valid parallel....at least I want to discuss the issue and not be told it is off limits by any news show host.

The Nazis were not unique in Christian history....the world had seen them before...in the Inquisition, for one...and in many of the ways Darkies were treated by white Christians....what set the Nazis apart was the Industrial Revolution and the mechanization of mass murder, that's all. In its day the Inquisition used the latest mass murder methods at its disposal...they would have liked nothing more than to have had access to Zyklon B gas, or rail lines leading to death centers...instead of burning people at the stake I'm sure they would have liked crematoria...

What did the Nazis believe, or do, that is so far removed from what any other Christians have done, to this day, that we should never EVER again mention any connection, or comparison? In the Balkan War didn't we see starved skeleton prisoners behind barbed wire fences again? Weren't Christians at it again, only this time with Muslims taking the place of Jews? Didn't they have rape motels again, like the Nazis had...? Okay so they didn't conduct experiments....but they didn't have the means...they were baby Nazis perhaps...but the same Christians all over again...same as the ones who are STILL occupying lands and killing civilians.

There is a Guantanamo, and other prisons that are no more than concentration camps...there is legalized torture, as the Nazis used...there are lies, official deception, murder of innocents and the beginning of a serious attempt to gut our Constitution..as the Nazis ruined the Weimar Constitution.....and isn't Iraq one big concentration camp now...isn't that the latest improvement and refinement over the old days when people were PUT into camps where now their countries are MADE into camps, kapos and all?

....why must we never mention the Nazis....are we going to offend them if we do...and is that such a bad thing?
