Keith Olbermann is an excellent example of a talking head with no residing mind

Liberal Nazis



In his March 27, 2010 column, New York Times columnist Frank Rich compared the alleged tea-party treatment of marching Democrats to the Nazi treatment of the Jews during Germany’s Kristallnacht. Here is the line from Rich’s garbled prose:

"How curious that a mob fond of likening President Obama to Hitler knows so little about history that it doesn't recognize its own small-scale mimicry of Kristallnacht."
I’m pretty sure that unless they spend the time to do some digging, most of the Times’ readers have no idea what Rich is talking about. Let’s do some comparison, shall we? Here is the encyclopedia article: Kristallnacht [Ger.,=night of crystal], in German history, the night of Nov. 9, 1938, a night of violence against Jews and of destruction of the businesses and other property belonging to them. The name is a reference to the broken glass that resulted from the destruction. Using the pretext of the assassination of a German diplomat in Paris, Goebbels urged Storm Troopers to stage violent reprisals. A night of rampages by Storm Troopers, the SS, and the Hitler Youth resulted in 91 Jewish dead, hundreds injured, and 7,500 businesses and 177 synagogues gutted. 2008 Columbia University Press. I have been criticized before about denigrating the liberal intellect, or rather the lack thereof. Keith Olbermann is an excellent example of a talking head with no residing mind, and now we have proof that Keith has a clone at the Times. There really is no other way to rationalize the ravings that came from Frank Rich’s keyboard. A few Democrat Congressmen and women are called names and that compares with what Hitler did in 1938? How? By what logical measure? Will somebody please tell me how the two are even in the same universe? Here is another Frank Rich logic bomb:
“But there was nothing like this. To find a prototype for the overheated reaction to the health care bill, you have to look a year before Medicare, to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Both laws passed by similar majorities in Congress; the Civil Rights Act received even more votes in the Senate (73) than Medicare (70). But it was only the civil rights bill that made some Americans run off the rails.”
"Run off the rails"? I was there in 1964 and based on his writing, I’m pretty sure Frank was not. You see, Mr. Rich is attempting to do another typical liberal "cloud the issue" comparison. It is essentially the same sort of fact-twisting that comes from other liberal writers because they have no actual facts or history to give a foundation to the idiocy they espouse. The Civil Rights Act had some violence attached to it, yes. But who was doing the rioting? And where was the rioting occurring? Was it in the suburbs? Was it in Mill Valley? Brooklyn? Chicago's Gold Coast? No, it happened in Harlem, Watts, Detroit, Newark and Washington D.C., bastions of the same lack of hope and deep rooted despair that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton fight to keep today. The riots ebbed and flowed from 1964 up to 1968 to the point that the National Guard had to be called out to protect American Citizens from…and you’ll love this…the people who, if they voted, voted Democrat. People who were to become Barack Hussein Obama’s mentors and friends. Frank’s bio says he graduated from Harvard. Well, all of our great universities have fallen into disrepute these days… Remember what Mr. Rich’s buddies did in the 1960’s? Remember the ROTC offices and buildings being torched by Molotov cocktails? How about the armed “peace protestors” at Columbia and Cornell? Does anyone remember what side of the political aisle planned the bombings at commissaries and NCO clubs during the last days of the Vietnam war? It certainly was not those of us who associate with the Tea Party Movement. No, it was the community organizers, the peace marchers, the Harvard and Columbia liberal art majors and professors who now see a chance to turn this country into their own version of the socialist ideal. They have just one problem, America has woken up. In Searchlight, Nevada, Harry Reid kicked off his re-election campaign. The news has been very quiet about this since the numbers at his rally were tiny compared to those put up by the Tea Party rally held several days before. Secure Democrat seats have been lost in the last 4 elections and not a single Democrat coming up for election today can honestly say theyhave no worries about this November. The recently passed healthcare bill is not a constitutionally secure piece of legislation and since it does not have a two-thirds ratification as a constitutional clause, it could be gone by next spring. The news media will not mention this. Back in 1938, Germany was being run by a minority party that had majority control of the government. In order to consolidate power, that party selected the successful and the prosperous as a scapegoat. Sound familiar?
