And while promoting his new book on the G. Gordon Liddy show yesterday, DeMint agreed with Gordon — who ironically has a history of expressing sympathetic views to Nazis — that Obama has created a government like that under Hitler:

LIDDY: But there’s something else that I remember because I’m a lot older than you are and it’s called national socialism and that’s where the government allows private people to continue to own industrial capacity and what have you but tells them what they may — must do with it. You know, you will make Messerschmidts, etc. That was national socialism. That seems to me the way we’re going.

DEMINT: You’re right we’ve got national socialism, national paternalism and our form of socialism seems more benign than the classical form that we noted in Europe.

As Matt Yglesias previously wrote, “Look, comparing your domestic political rivals to Nazis is a time-honored tradition. But confusing the Nazis and Germany’s Social Democrats is a scandal.

1. I'm glad we have such stawart defenders of "The (Fascist) People"

:puke:

[Mnpaul]

2. Never mind the fact that

the patriot act allows the government to take over any business. Where was the outcry?

[tabatha]

3. Then, I guess all the people he hired from Goldman Sachs

are socialist.

Yipee!!!! can we get some of those billion dollar bonuses?

4. My message to Mr. DeMint and Mr. Liddy

And whatever farm animals you rode in on too!
And all your reich wing talking head friends too!

[snake in the grass]

7. While I like the idea...

...I think the message isn't 'clear' enough.

;-)

[bjobotts]

17. Lidedy is a fascist thug. DeMint is soon to be out of office due to personality disorder.

[snake in the grass]

5. Would it be so difficult...

...for the turds who listen to this tripe to actually open up a book and read about what socialism is, or national socialism for that matter?

This revisionism is starting to become malignant. I can't tell you how often I must hear the "Nazis were socialists"-argument. We are floating in a sea of stupid.

6. these guys are insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who listens to this shit!!

[Jack Rabbit]

8. Since when did Gordon Liddy have the right to lecture any one on the evils of fascism?

This is the same guy who saw nothing wrong with committing crimes in the name of Richard Nixon and even hatched a plot to fire bomb the Brookings Institute.

He was a loyal Bushie before his time.

9. That bald-headed stooge must be wearing his Speedo too tight.

[muntrv]

10. Liddy loves Nazis, so why the whining?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

11. Isn't Liddy in jail?

or was that Libby? Liddy, Libby it's all the same!

[AlbertCat]

12. Who is it that says...

... once you bring Hitler and the Nazis into an argument, it's over, because they are a cover for having no ideas whatsoever.


Besides, everyone who "remembers" the National Socialist Party knows it was not socialist at all. Do these guys also believe the United Soviet Socialist Republic was a Republic? Hey...they're "republicans"...they must want a government like the USSR!

[griloco]

13. NO NO NO NO NO Get it right!

Obama=Nazi=Hitler=invade Russia=kill bolsheviks..
It is Obama who will truly win the cold war!

is that DeMinted enough?

[BobTheSubgenius]

14. You're thinking of one of the corollaries to Godwin's Law, aka

Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies.

As generalizations go, I think Mike Godwin's is both true and useful. :)

[burning rain]

15. The GOP fought & lost the last election notably on the argument....

that Obama was a "socialist" and a "Marxist." And yet they keep it up with similar tripe. While it'simultaneously appalling and comforting to see them wandering aimlessly in the fever swamps, I fear it's giving liberals the impression that it's not necessary to pass any legislation of great importance to most Americans, that victories will come automatically thanks to the folly of the GOP. That would be a serious miscalculation.

[gtar100]

16. Are they really that stupid? Or are they propagandists?

Do they know they are lying. Is the money that good? What a bunch of worthless humans. I'm so sick of hearing people like Liddy and all these repugs getting media coverage. There are intelligent, articulate people with good ideas on how to make things work and they are ignored. Instead we get this pablum. Turn your TV's off. They are poisoning our minds.

18. "When you're out of arguments, always trot out Godwin's Law..."

The new mantra of the GOP.
