Is it okay to use the 'N' word yet?
Actually, I've been using it for a number of years now. Its a word that fits.

Nazi.

That's what they are, you know. It may be impolite to use it. It may cause some of the right wing shriek monkeys a bout of apoplexy. But its true.

Nazi.

Same with fascism. I'm not afraid to use it. If the shoe fits... And a rose by any other name is still a rose.

6. nazipooh is better
nazi of course has the historical baggage of the hitler era, which the herd still finds totally repulsive, and that allows the fake conservative fascasti to dismiss their accusers right off the bat....after all, the nazis only became 'nazis' thanks to nazipoohs like churchill and marshal petain and hindenberg etc, not to mention the dulles brothers, j edgar hoover, jesus angleton, prescott bush, charles lindberg and a huge assortment of others whom the history books were quick to, ahem, downplay the fact they were all for what the nazis were doing until it became publicly horrifying, and who were opposed to the USSR not because stalin was a criminal but because the working people were getting an entire state system based upon their interest and not the interest of some upper class twits whose daddys/grandaddys were also upper class twits, and who lived off humanity like a parasitic life form.....fortunately, the nazipoohs will never get a chance to openly descend to the depths of the real thing....

15. ever heard of the lusitania Jim?
the lusitania case deserves modern attention, cuz the same crap that those bastards have used so often was inherent in the sinking of the lusitania by a german u boat in 1915, 2 years prior to the US entry into WW1. The Lusitania was a british luxury passenger ship, which ran between europe and US....after the war started in 1914, and after the germans began really affecting the brit war effort by sinking ship bringing stuff to the island....the dulles brothers' uncle was a big shot in the US government, and was trying to get the US into the conflict, so when the Lusitania (among other passenger liners) began carrying war material, it became nearly suicide for any passengers who used her-thus of course it's been denied by the brits and the responssible american officials who arranged the deed....when the Lusitania was sank, she was travelling w/out detroyer escort in an area the british admiralty KNEW had german u boats patrolling...winston churchill was 'sea lord' at the time, meaning it was he who was responsible for 1100 civilian deaths...more then that, the germans were demonised so terribly because of what they did (and remember, the brits denied any war material were aboard) in sinking a defenseless passenger liner, in which 100 american citizens also died, and the robert lansing prowar party in the US gov hammered away at the german atrocity until in 1917 the US entered the war (the russian revolution also happened in 1917, so we still don't know what the upper class twittery was schemeing as the US entered the war and russia pulled out(?))....i believe, just from learning about the Lusitania, that Hitler was maddened by seeing his beloved germany demonised for doing what was entirely within its right (as the Lusitania was literally a combatant at the time, and the germans knew full well what ammo's she had) and by no recourse to history's judgement which the allies continued (and still do today, in the main) to make about the supposedly evil deed which probably was the direct reasult of the prowar party's cooperation with the british under churchill. churchill was a nazipooh, maybe he wouldn't herd kids into gas chambers, but he still killed countless thousands just being a big fat murdering prick...fukk him

13. Native Tex too funny!
It's a freeping Nazi Duck! How funny!

As for you, Husb2Sparkly, you better start addressing our little corporal who bravely escaped National Guard duty by his proper title Dur Fuhrer, or you could get into serious trouble.

11. I use the term Fascist
Too many people still shut off their ears when they hear Nazi. It is a fair comparison but doesn't help the discussion if the other person has their fingers in their ears and is saying la-la-la-la incessantly.

14. I agree 100%. I use "Fascist," but I mean "Nazi."
In another year, if Bu$h keeps this shit up, Nazi will be on everyone's lips. Know what I mean, Vern?

16. I prefer the word I coined. Nutzis.
I use the word Nazis among friends, but not in written communications like this one. Too many people react negatively to the Nazi term.

So, I came up with Nutzis. They're friggin' crazy and fascist, so it works on two levels.

Use it, if you wish. No attribution necessary.

17. I prefer "tyrant"
If that was good enough for the Founding Fathers, who are now turning over in their graves, it's good enough for me, who is alive and scared shitless.

20. I remember when John Stewart went off about using the term Nazi.
I guess he felt that by using it so easily, you dishonored the people who really suffered at the hands of this intolerable evil. What he failed to notice was that Germany did not just one day wake up and say "Hey let's be Nazis". There was a long build up to it and that is waht this country is at right now. The build up to dictatorship and fascism. Perhaps brown shirts is more of an accurate term if you match up histories at the present time. I prefer to use the terms already in place. They are much more accurate to our current state. Neocon, Rightwinger, even Republican. There is no more reason to try and enoble these terms for the factions they represent. They should be used and labelled as a badge of shame. No one is going to say they are Nazis, yet if you use the current names with the frankness of distaste and horror, then you let them know that how they paint themselves is corrosive and detrimental to all you hold precious. And anti-democratic to all.

23. good point feelthebreeze
Edited on Sun Jan-22-06 12:33 AM by Jeffersons Ghost
John Stuart is funny and goes after the Reich-Wingers pretty well but he is not my guide. My conscience is my guide. The reason we all remember Nazis so well is that our Hebrew brothers and sisters wisely kept the information in front of the world all these years so that people wouldn't forget history and allow the insidious evil to repeat itself. Sorry folks but I'm calling them as I see them. You can name them whatever you like. Shakespeare wrote "a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet." I say, a fallen flower of Democracy, smells putrid as it rots at the core and spawns maggots of the Third Reich, no matter what you name them. Nazi to one is Fascist to another. Tyranny consistently leads to oppression in history. I won't dare to tell any of you how to exercise your free speech. It's your choice. You choose to think freely or march in lock-step because that is also your choice. You can name Dur Fuhrer, Saint Hitler for all I care but in the same way I refuse to tell you how to use what little freedom you have left, let me exercise mine.

24. another problem, i'm a socialist!
the german workers party, or whatever the hell the nazi party called itself, recognised the validity of working peoples' anger at their government leading them into messes then hijacking the debate and leading them into more mess; thus they incorporated the term 'socialist' in their party name...unfortunately, the venality of the rightwing brownshirts (ever heard a police union spokesman? it's sounds the very same as the nazi party when they were still reaching for the brass ring) and their stupidity in being toughs in the service of the worst of the financial elite gets overlooked by our present day rightwing freeper brothers! they say hitler was a bastard, yep, cuz he was a SOCIALIST! and they really believe it!
