In addition to gas at concentration camps, the Nazis had many methods. They would sometimes go into a town, round up Jews or sometimes other groups and stuff them into a barn and set the barn ablaze. I’ve seen pictures.
Spicer and his boss are fruitcakes with little understanding of the world or the responsibilities. The sooner Trump resigns or is impeached, the better.
Napalm and White Phosphorus were both invented by the US to kill as many Japanese soldiers as possible in the shortest amount of time and were used to horrific effect in the Pacific War.
Both are now banned by the “1980 Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons Protocol”
I’ve heard and uttered some stupid shit in my life. Really stupid. This is next level. It’s almost kind of a thing of beauty in it’s abject stupidity, cluelessness, and tone deafness. Hitler murdered millions of people, folks who you neglected to mention on Holocaust Rememberance Day, in gas chambers with chemical weapons. This is so basic. It’s the thing even an elementary school kid knows about the Holocaust. And yet Sean Spicer doesn’t.
BTW, I got alerts from HuffPo and NBC News about this statement.
It’s just getting so bad faster and faster- two weeks ago seems like paradise. Not, you know what I mean.
Edit-I just saw the Sessions “filth” remark. What the–
Is he actually siggesting that Hitler’s method was not as bad? Does this man ever think before he talks? Perhaps all questions should be submitted in writing so someone with a greater knowledge of history - such as a high school sophmore- and a functioning moral compass could review his answers.
There’s a subtext here. Apparently right wingers approve of Assad because he has not been killing Christians, and Muslims don’t count (obviously). I wonder if Sean is unconsciously incorporating this kind of thinking into his commentary.
Asked to clarify his comment later in the briefing, Spicer said, "I think when you come to sarin gas, there was no — he was not using the gas on his own people the same way that Assad is doing.”
What a fucking dumbass. OMG. Sean, you ignorant clod. RESIGN. NOW.
