The GOP and conservatives are targeting the very same kind of people that Nazi Germany did. They targeted Jews, Gypsies, Gays and other groups. The GOP is really no different. It is time to be brutally honest about what they are. And the should not continue to exist in a decent democracy.
All this hate for homeless people, disabled, poor, minorities et al. It is time to call the GOP for what it is. In actuality they are no better really. They thirst for dictatorship of their party and we might as well understand who these people are. And the Koch's and the super rich are their funders.
Citizens of conscience should be going after these assholes with a vengeance. They should be silenced. Censorship of this kind of speech is appropriate. That kind of hatred being spewed daily has no place in a decent society. And if we do not at least shout them down we are accomplices.

(10,602 posts)After seeing what Fresno is doing to the homeless it makes me furious. To be attacking the poor and vulnerable should be unacceptable and any politician who does it should be confronted immediately and harshly. Sorry but things are going too far. I am must so sick of the damned GOPPERS.

(8,155 posts)These kind of weird statements that you make serve no general purpose other than to solidify your hatred for another group. Not that hating the GOP is wrong. However, we should at least make reality based assertions.

(10,926 posts)I don't know how they get away with the blatant, rampant targeting of ...GYPSIES.
It's a national disgrace.
When will there be true freedom for ...GYPSIES?

(4,192 posts)Historical context is there to help us learn from the past. They (the conservatives) are masters at repeating history because they are confused by the change of clothing, the different names and faces, the different places, the different languages, newer technologies.
So keep laughing at the use of the word 'Gypsy' as if it bears no resemblance to anything today. The bottom line is you are missing the point of the bigotry of right wingers and their hatred focused on the poor, the homeless, those who live close to the bone. They deride communities of people that do not fit their narrow definition of community and people who do not live like they do. And their actions and their condemnations have become extreme. Laugh if you want at the word Gypsy in modern context simply because the repugs haven't called them out by that name. You are missing where and what the Gypsy spirit has morphed into in today's world and its American manifestation. Or you can take a closer look.

Also, how do you know? On DU3 you cant see anything from posters on ignore. Sounds like somebody's been logging out to read their own threads. Either that or using multiple accounts.
Very naughty.

(10,602 posts)Grayson was right about tea baggers. Except he should have said the entire GOP was KKK. Look at their agenda. When you are attacking teachers, education, the government, government workers et al you are a part of what the brown shirts and Nazis did. And their hate media doubles down every day. And the GOP really is anti Semitic too, except they disguise their true agenda with phony rhetoric.
If we ever did have camps in the US the GOP would be the perpetrators. They engage in elimination rhetoric all time in code. And some RW talkers even voice it openly.
When I see someone post who I think is a troll they go on ignore. There is no point in even talking to debating these crap heads. And you know who you are.
we have to quit mincing words and just go for it.

(86,037 posts)hate and attack anyone who doesn't buy their BS, period. Which subjects anyone who doesn't agree with them to personal attack, character assassination (their favorite tactic especially when they have no facts or truth to back up their claims), and whatever damage leading to absolute ruination and devastation as they can execute. They suck and need to be dealt with. I can't even call them by their "proper" descriptive anymore.
Have to agree with you at least 89%... I don't like to be hateful so I'm gonna draw the line there.

(10,602 posts)In John L. Sullivan's day these bastards would have found themselves smeared all over the landscape. And it is not that I condone violence. But I do not know what we do when they continue to injure and actually kill people with their policies. What makes it worse is that they take pleasure in it.
