The writer is obviously a Magna Cum Laude graduate of the Heinrich Himmler School of Journalism.

Yep. I think he was a Teaching Assistant with Herr Doktor Professor Goebbels.

Yah...I should've said Goebbels. But I liked the alliteration of Heinrich Himmler better.

Either way...what goes round comes round. The Nazis mastered the art of the "big lie"...pick a whopper & repeat & repeat until people take it as truth. Thus the rise of Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh & their ilk. Sickening.

Damn. And I thought they had a monopoly on truth and patriotism.

I am of the school that believes comparing these guys to Nazis does indeed belittle just how awful the Nazis truly were.

We're not talking about what the Nazis did but how they convinced the German people to let them do it.

why don't we all grab a copy of The Mass Psychology Of Fascism by Wilhelm Reich or my favorite, Listen Little Man and then respond?

Whoa. Hawkwind is actually saying 'I've got an orgone accumulator' instead of what I thought, an 'argon accumulator'.
