You know something I havent heard from FOX lately?

The name Adolf Hitler. The repugs and FOX were always accusing Obama and others who tried to do the right thing of acting like Hitler. I used to gag when I’d hear that shit and I guess heard it so often and so falsely I guess I quit listening and erased it from my memory. I tried to think of a few instances of their over blown rhetoric along these lines and can’t right now. I know there were many. Wish I was one of thise people that could put together clips of the snide idiots at Fox making those statements. Then maybe cut to clips of Hitler and Trump rallies.

Trump follows the Hitler playbook very well. There are a great many similarities but T-don isn’t a tenth as smart as Hitler. Thank god for that. Really even Trump is no hitler, and Fox has over used those accusations so much it waters down comparisons to Hitler which really ought to hold a special place in language and in hell.

Maybe nowadays Fox is a little leery of saying that name out loud, comparisons to what’s going on nowadays are plentiful and easy to spot.

Damn near every white supremacist group in the country passionately supports Gump. It was a stupid argument to begin with, but it's even more stupid these days.

Evoking Hitler's name does the reich-wing media machine no good these days, that's why they created the antifa boogeyman - the leftwing hate group that's supposedly destroying the country. That's proving a hard sell, obviously.
