Subtlety and nuance arent this crowds strong suits. In fact, it wasnt that hard for us to come up with a list of at least 15 scheduled summit speakers and panelists who believe that America has gotten so bad under Obamas leadership that the country has become just like Nazi Germany.
1. Tony Perkins
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins thinks that gay rights supporters are bent on ushering in an anti-Christian holocaust. When are LGBT activists going to start rolling out the boxcars to start hauling off Christians? he asked in June.
2. Mike Huckabee
Former governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee agreed last year that it was the truth that bills introduced to prevent gun violence are just like what happened in Nazi Germany. [T]heyll start saying, Oh there you go comparing to the Nazis. And I understand the reaction, but its the truth, Huckabee said. In every society and culture where dictators take over, one of the things they have to do is get control of the military and the police and ultimately all of the citizens and make sure the citizens are disarmed and cant fight in the streets.
4. Glenn Beck
Unsurprisingly, Glenn Beck is pretty sure that we are Germany 1930. Earlier this year, Beck agreed with venture capitalist Tom Perkins that billionaires in America are just like Jews under Nazi oppression and said that officials like Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are aspiring concentration camp guards. He has also predicted that the government will scoop up Tea Party members and be remembered as the most evil nation in the history of the world, we will dwarf what Germany did.

I swear these people love Nazi Germany. Any argument we make, they're almost immediately quick to make a Nazi comparison. Need I bring up Lewis Black's famous Nazi tourettes rant?

(100,068 posts)They pick and choose which parts they want to believe in and completely ignore the rest. Just like Sarah Palin claiming that the purpose of Paul Revere's famous ride was to warn the British about the second amendment.

(9,350 posts)They love to talk about Nazi Germany because they know it is an easy way to scare the crap out of people. They know that when they say Nazi Germany many in America think about Hilter, Jews, concentration camps, and death. I think most of the people who are scared by talk of Nazi Germany are most afraid of the concentration camps and death.
My problem with people on the right constantly screaming Nazi Germany is that they did not seem to get called out as much as those on the left. I may be wrong, but it seems every time a Democrat compares someone to a person from Nazi Germany, or a thing to Nazi Germany the media is all over them. However, Republicans say things like that everyday and very seldomly are called out for saying such things. I would like for more news media people to confront them and ask them to give one example of how America is becoming like Nazi Germany.
