Discussion: Mo Brooks Compared Dems To Nazis In Floor Speech, Quoted ‘Mein Kampf’

TPM Article Topics

From the above, ". . . there is always a certain force of credibility because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily.’”

Isn’t this the gaslighting the Trump officials constantly employ for the base to latch onto? Is it not this fear that drives much of the GOP today.

Just as an aside, I remember when Mueller was appointed that the GOP and its spokespeople were carpet-bombing the media with the word “collusion” even though the Mueller was appointed because of Russian interference, lying by Trump officials both in the WH and Campaign, and obstruction of these events.

So last time I checked Stone is currently being prosecuted, Gates still has his time infront of a judge, Manafort has been convicted in two courts and Papodopolus and Flynn both admitted to lying to the FBI about their contacts with Russians.

Total exoneration indeed.

Hitler used the word “socialist” to compete with the socialist parties around Europe at the time.
His people were no more socialist than I’m a Buddhist.

But… but it’s in the NAME OF THE PARTY! Next you’re gonna try to tell me the People’s Democratic Republic of North Korea isn’t democratic! And for the people!

Who else was at first astonished that Mel Brooks was giving a floor speech? I envisioned a mid-chamber “Springtime for Hitler” show of some kind for a second there.

Sounds like Roy Moore’s gonna have some serious competition in the GOP Senate primary next year.

C’mon. Not even a little bit of a republic?!?

Poor Shmoo Brooks. Dumber than a box of rocks. Does he not realize that redneck, right wing Southerners are a lot more like Nazi’s than anything else? His momma never taught him to keep his thoughts to himself. Sad people like this even get elected to office.

Hey Mo(ron) Mueller’s investigation was started and run all the way to the end by republicans. Pay attention fool.

Clearly, Brooks doesn’t understand early Nazi theory. (What does he understand? He probably needs help getting dressed.) The people who founded the NSDAP (later Nazi) party had an authoritarian-socialist (national socialist) philosophy that was a half-baked rejection of Marxism while endorsing government control of production. They wanted a real revolution–something like the tea party or Trump’s propaganda. Hitler and his flunkies had little use for that theorizing. The two groups coexisted in some fashion, with the socialists being largely shouldered aside, until the Night of the Long Knives, in 1934, when Hitler, Goering, Himmler et als wiped out the leadership of the Storm Troopers, who grew out of the socialist wing, and as many of the original leaders as they could get their hands on.

It would be if they had any morals.

Yes, but by quoting from Mein Kampf, has Brooks said anything as bad as what Rep Ilhan Omar has supposedly said about US-Israeli relations?

In the original German too.

Also ignoring the fact that after NSDP came to power in Germany they dropped all pretense to being socialist and instead became corporatist since they needed them to rearm.

Their boy Bibi is up for reelection in Israel, and they actually think American Jews are mere political clones of Israeli Jews.

There were genuine socialists in the Nazi party but Hitler got rid of them during the Night of the Long Knives and those he didn’t kill he sent to concentration camps.
