This moron wrote this tweet in ALL SERIOUSNESS.
This is what passes as intellectualism at MEDIA MATTERS.
This asshole just wrote that NAZIS DIDN’T TAKE UP ARMS AGAINST THEIR OWN PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is estimated that the NAZIs killed 1 out of every 100 Germans.

He’s right though. They did not take up arms against them. Bullets cost too much. But a nickle’s worth of gas and the genocide was on. Too bad the only thing kids today learn about Nazis is that the republicans are the same thing.
Yet another Affirmative Action scholar.
This is what our UNION controlled indoctrination chambers (formerly known as schools) are teaching. Don’t blame the kids as it is the teachers and administration that determines what to teach…..today they are more concerned about videotaping on their Obama phone then next thug to attack a teach than to learn anything…no parents, no curriculum and no administration…but one big fat rich Union putting idiots in office all across the country…..surprised??? you shouldn’t be!
On the other hand, they did have to point guns on them (and shoot escapees) in order to make them get on the trains.
And they did shoot nazi defectors, etc.
They pretty much learned all that shit from Sanger and islam’s handiwork.
Ask for a picture of his trophy room. I’m sure it’s loaded with participation.
How ironic he brings up the Nazis because Obama is certainly looking like Adolf in the early years.
They made the Jews pay the train fare so as not to arouse suspicion.
Really.
Confederates didn’t take up arms against their own country. That country was the Confederate States of America. Southerners would have been ever so much happier if the Northerners had simply recognized the South’s right to self-determination.

Assuming you have one, of course …
This fool’s blathering bullshit he thought he heard on the occasions when his “teacher” took his hands off of his ears for a few seconds during their “lessons.”
Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to join Media Matters and remove all doubt.
Actually, the Nazis did take up arms against the Weimar republic. More than once. The Beer Hall Putsch was exactly that. And Night of the Long Knives wasn’t just for their no longer useful idiots.
Of course, Michelle would make sure its Beet Hall Putsch today.
By the way, there was that little affair called Operation Valkyrie where Germans took up arms against their own country as personified by one A. Hitler. But I’m sure that the MM moron doesn’t want to be reminded that there can be legitimate and moral reasons for attacking your own govt.
Some people just look stupid. He is one of them.
Apparently this scholar never hears of the SA, or Brownshirts, which was the Nazi paramilitary arm headed by Roehm. The SA’s sole purpose was to provide intimidation, muscle and violence on behalf of the Nazi party, and all of this was directed against fellow Germans who disagreed politically. The SA was violently disbanded during the Night of the Long Knives, and Roehm was executed. The successor was the SS, and the Nazi’s infamous internal police was the Gestapo, both ultimately headed by Himmler who seemed to have a mean streak himself.
The original Nazi concentration camps were in Germany, and they were built to house primarily political prisoners and Germans who may have proved dangerous to the power of the Nazi party. The death camps were actually located in Poland, and were built to exterminate large numbers of Jews and other “undesirables” when mass shootings proved to be impractical. Concentration camps were far more numerous, and while not dedicated to exterminating large numbers of people by execution, were brutal places where inmates were ultimately expected to never be released.
So yes, the Nazis did take up arms against their own country. Hitler’s initial attempt to take over Germany was the Beer Hall Putsch, which was an ill fated attempt to forcibly take over Germany through revolution. Hitler later came to power through political machinations, and then returned to violent intimidation to maintain his hold on the nation.
And he’s also as stupid as he looks.
Yep, I think what we have here is another proud graduate possessing a degree in Black Studies. God protect us from people this stunningly stupid.
Reminds me of Nilos Green…in junior high I brought in a chunk of petrified wood for some science thing and good ol’ Nilos said…”Aw man, that ain’t nothing but a colored rock”…..UMMMM HUMMMM….
ahhhh dumb ass…..the Jews were German citizens
ahhhhh dumb ass….the Jews were German citizens
Ironically, it was the failed Beer Hall Putsch and subsequent trial that made Hitler famous.
As William Shirer said, never before had history been so thoroughly documented and recorded down to the smallest detail. And, unfortunately, so quickly forgotten.
How’s that civilian security force as well funded as the US military coming along?
is a moderated comment close to banning?…I’d rather be fired but I’ve never worked here….
The above/above comment is 100% TRUE…..after re-reading it I can see some possible implications, but….HUH!….it was intended to be a story…a life experience….showing the foolishness of Oliver Willis….HUH?…moderation?…
