"As a Jew , with most of my relatively recent generations of ancestors from Poland and Russia, this RW crap sickens me and concerns me deeply when viewing history." Your perspective is justifiably more personal than those of us whom have never encountered systemic oppression due to the family of humans we belong to. However, our despite against such bigotry (and out contempt for the flippant use of the Nazi/Hitler thing as puerile insult)--is perhaps as keen. When people turn ordinary conversation and blogging shit-fests into comparison to a regime which exterminated innocent people because they could...well that just goes to show how thoughtless and shallow some people can be. People who are losing a discussion should dig for facts--not shovel racist shit at their opponent. Two posters have spent years libelling me with Hitlerian epithets and pretended sexual deviance--simply because I ask troubling questions about their superstition and their scripture and because I openly support equality for all people and sexual freedom for gays and lesbians. I think (I KNOW) that terrible wrongs have been done to minorities whether they be Caananites, Jews, or gays born with an abnormal (but not immoral) sexuality. I have been fortunate to be in the mainstream majority in all areas of life but that does not make me insensible to the terrible hurts people have shared with me based on ugly prejudice against their color or sexual orientation. Unfortunately, some religions glorify bigotry against all sorts of people and attempt to condemn and to persecute those with different gods (or no gods)--or just different values. This bigotry does not belong in 2013. It belongs centuries in the past and it should never even have happened there. The two people I alluded to are Fundamentalist Christians-but the religious dogma of separating people into us and them, the chosen, the rejected, the moral, the immoral, the saved, the damned...this dogma is certainly not reserved to Christians. Islam excels in this form of bigotry. Fortunately, most Christians no longer follow the sillyness (and evil) of their big books of fun. This at least is a good thing--a DAMN GOOD THING!!

"As a Jew , with most of my relatively recent generations of ancestors from Poland and Russia, this RW crap sickens me and concerns me deeply when viewing history." as a polish catholic, with most of my recent generations of ancestors from Poland (where hitler killed 3 million polish catholics) this left wing crap sickens me and concerns me deeply when viewing history. Hitler was a socialist, like stalin and mao who killed over 100 and you lefties won't face the facts that socialists are fascist murdering thugs and now you lefties support(and worship) another socialist Obama. This scares me that you ignore all past history and worship this guy like the germans worship Hitler and the russians Stalin. it looks like 1936 in the USA today, look at the 4th estate 'tingles' up their legs. are you kidding me, that's how the press talked about hitler and stalin

" I was alive when the Tea Party predecessors of the paranoid racist far right were the biggest anti-Semites. " you know nothing about the tea party, I bet you have never been to one. when you go you will me almost every doctor, engineer and retired teacher and small businessman in town. that's who the tea party is. the tea party is a threat to the establishment, that's why they have to be destroyed at all costs, lie about them, call them racists, homophobes anything to destroy them what is funny a lot of libs are ex hippies who hated the establishment and now they defend them and buy all their propaganda. what happen to don't trust anyone over 30. you have become the MAN and you can't see it.

"As a Jew , with most of my relatively recent generations of ancestors from Poland and Russia, this RW crap sickens me and concerns me deeply when viewing history." "The revisionism of the Nazi's is not limited to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad." You will be familiar with the term Blood Libel. Herr Solon continues to assert that the Jewish Priests took captured girls, raped them, and then sacrificed them on the altar to the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. Then he complains bitterly about being compared to a Nazi.
