Fictional story of the Tea Party's rise to power. Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin become Chancellor & Vice-Chancellor... er... President and Vice President... and James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan stand up against them.

shareIt is quite interesting to see how the Tea Party parallels the Nazi party with its anti-science, anti-intellectual, anti-knowledge, anti-liberty, anti-free speech stance. The arch-conservative Ward Bond did seem awfully comfortable in that Nazi uniform.
shareAnyone who thinks Obama is a socialist or communist needs to learn just a little bit about history and what those terms actually mean. If Obama is a socialist, then Nixon and Reagan were flaming red leftists. This ridiculous labeling of Obama as far left socialist comes from the right wing corporate funded propaganda spewed forth on Fox Noise. No reliance on actual facts, just pure right wing spin and distortion, and a reliance on fear and prejudice.
As for the tea party not holding their hand out, I would say that the corporate right wingers that are backing and funding it are the biggest handout seekers there are. They don't want to pay taxes, ask for huge subsidies from the government (OUR tax dollars)and then have the gall to tout "free market capitalism" as their philosophy.
Oh........The movie? I think I'll check it out. :D
The fact that several conservative posters have allied themselves with the Nazi party and yet claim to be American is interesting and disturbing.
Professor Roth's classes were boycotted, he was arrested, sent to a concentration camp under hard labor, and died there. What was his crime? He claimed that biologically all blood is the same; hence all humans are the same. (I watched the movie -- don't try to contradict me.) Are you saying that REAL Americans are a certain blood, nationality, etc., and anyone who is different cannot be American?
Martin Breitner's crime (and Freya Roth's as well) is that he/they don't believe in the Nazi party teachings. So you are saying that anyone who disagreed with Nazi teachings were wrong and should be silenced - And that anyone who disagrees with conservative Republican teachings should be silenced as well.
The Tea Party is praised as a grass-root movement. Excuse me, but when a movement has a convention at a luxary hotel and charges, I believe it was, $500 a plate to have dinner with Sarah Palin -- Well, that doesn't sound like a grass-roots movement. That sounds like people who have money to spend.
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
-- Joseph Goebbels, German Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945
If we keep saying Obama is a socialist, will he become one? Nazi Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels says he will. Do you believe in the plain words of Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln, or do you believe in the easy, conservative words of Goebbels and Hitler?

you're an a-hole.
it's not the republicans who are using the irs today for political purposes and then lying about it.
or who try to close a business because of the religious beliefs of its owner.
if you're looking for nazis, look in the mirror.
Your ignorance is only exceeded by your gullibility. You have readily accepted the characterization of the Tea Party spoon-fed to you by the left without question. Thus, you have engaged in groupthink just as the Robert Young and Robert Stack characters did. If you had exercised any independent thought, you would realize that your analogy is completely backwards. The Tea Party supports the rights of the individual over the state just as the Founding Fathers did, whereas Obama and the Democrat leadership place the interests of the state over those of the individual just as the National Socialists did.
