Nazi Propaganda Compared To Conservative Propaganda

[taquinas101]

I saw this website of original sources materials of Nazi propaganda. I guess before Karl Rove, there was Goebbels. Sadly, the parallels are frigtening. Perhaps 50 years from now, someone will be writing a book called, "Bush's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Americans and the Iraq War."

Gobbels on coffee drinking critics: http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/goeb22.htm

"These people do not have the intelligence to see that Germany today is fighting for its economic existence that will decide its very future. If the battle brings even a few annoyances, these people see enough reason to criticize the National Socialist state, forget its previous successes and cry about their missing cup of coffee. A few weeks ago, the hostile foreign press ran pictures of lines of these coffee drinkers and their friends outside of the shops. The hostile press naturally did not say that they were waiting for coffee, but rather claimed they were waiting for potatoes or bread and spread to the world fables that famine had broken out in Germany."

Boehner: “The Democrats’ irrational opposition to strong national security policies that help keep our nation secure should be of great concern to the American people,” Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said in a statement after the bill passed 232-191. “To always have reasons why you just can’t vote ’yes,’ I think speaks volumes when it comes to which party is better able and more willing to take on the terrorists and defeat them,” Boehner said.

1. New Yorker bio of Newt, from back in fall of 95 I believe, hits it well

The Newt was holding classes for up and coming GOP-bot/candidates and reps. What was the Newt teaching? Joseph Goebbels of course.

If you can score a copy of the magazine, it is a most enlightening article.

2. This is not at all surprising as the neoconservatives and religious

...fascists now controlling the republican party have been used the Third Reich training manuals for over four decades.

3. Just read old Nazi propaganda. and replace the word "Jew" with "Liberal"

And you have neo-con propaganda

Goebbels reviews 1938 and complains about complainers :

"This ability to believe is rather weak in some circles, above all in those with money and education. They may trust more in pure cold reason than a glowing idealistic heart. Our so-called intellectuals do not like to hear this, but it is true anyway. They know so much that in the end they do not know what to do with their wisdom. They can see the past, but not much of the present, and nothing at all of the future. Their imagination is insufficient to deal with a distant goal in a way such that one already thinks it achieved.

They were also unable to believe in the victory of National Socialism while the National Socialist movement was still fighting for power. They are as little able today to believe in the greatness of our national German future. They perceive only what they can see, but not what is happening, and what will happen.

That is why their carping criticisms generally focus on laughable trivialities. Whenever some unavoidable difficulty pops up, the kind of thing that always happens, they are immediately inclined to doubt everything and to throw the baby out with the bath water. To them difficulties are not there to be mastered, but rather to be surrendered to.

One cannot make history with such quivering people. They are only chaff in God's breath. Thankfully, they are only a thin intellectual or social upper class, particularly in the case of Germany. They are not an upper class in the sense that they govern the nation, but rather more a fact of nature like the bubbles of fat that always float on the surface of things."
