CA Dem chair John Burton compares GOP to Nazi Goebbels for 'telling the big lie'
Source: San Francisco Chronicle
Greetings from the California delegation breakfast at the DNC where before he had a cup of coffee Democratic Party Chair John Burton – much like his ol’ palGuv Jerry Brown once did – just compared the Republicans to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, for “telling the big lie,” a reference to several falsehoods GOP VP nominee Paul Ryan recently told.
“They lie and they don’t care if people think they lie… Joseph Goebbels – it’s the big lie, you keep repeating it,” Burton said Monday before the Blake Hotel breakfast. He said Ryan told “a bold-faced lie and he doesn’t care that it was a lie. That was Goebbels, the big lie.”
Reminded that Brown drew heat for comparing the messaging of Meg Whitman’s 2010 GOP gubernatorial campaign to Goebbels, he said sarcastically, “(Bleep) that’s right, she won the election!
... Burton is incensed by the distortions uttered by Ryan, who he referred to as a “horse’s ass.”

Welcome to DU
...
The comparison between Dr Gobbles propaganda and the Fox news propaganda is rather scary, as they both lie and tell half truths, or outright lies all the time... I suspect if Dr Gobbles had been alive today - he would have been a very, very old man by now, he would have been proud about what the neo-conservatives, and the Fox news had made possible.. A 24/7 News Channel, who was spewing all form of lies to the populations... Dr Gobbles was already thinking in that way - already in 1937, after a successfully viewing of one of the first broadcasts on a closed set where black and white images had been shown on a TV set, Dr Gobbles should have told the audience, that he would like to have more of it - and right before WW2, the Nazi-regime had on paper, and on trial, to a couple of hundreds of "trustworthy party leaders" a form of TV, where you could se a movie - or be shown specially things, like a speech by Hitler himself and so one.. Then WW2 was coming around - and the whole concept, was more or less closed down, to the facts that regular Radio, and film reels could do the same job - and then, TVs was rather expensive, something it was up to the 1970s in most country's in Europe.. But as it was - the germans under Hitler, managed to use new ideas, colour films, and a lot of propaganda to make the germans - and many others to believe in Hitler and the Nazi supremacy over the rest of the world.. Dr Gobbles was a splendid propaganda minister, who used all the different tools, to make germany believe in Hitler and the goals set by him.. All up to V Day 1945, many germans did believed that some specially weapons should be able to win the war for germany.. Even when the russians was knocking on the gates of Berlin, many did believed they could win the war - thanks to the propaganda they have been given for the last 12 year... News about how bad things was on all fronts was never really told to the germans - even the catastrophic surrender at Stalingrad was put into a context where Hitler was the "superior" ones..
And the Nazis of the 1930s, also had some plans of using the new medium, to maybe put in public squares - so everyone could be able to look at speeches by Hitler and other big wigs at the nazi-system.. Even though who could not look at the speeches itself... A lot of different plans for the new medium have been discovered - but seldom been known by the public, specially as lot of it was more or less sketches and ideas, rather than plans for what could happened..
