Silicon Valley billionaire compares treatment of America's rich to Nazi [W:185]

Re: Silicon Valley billionaire compares treatment of America's rich to Nazi persecuti

If we want to play by that logic, I take it that Al Gore has more mental worth than you do?

so typical... you have nothing.. so you are reduced to name calling and trying to demean me.....

it wont work.. you have no idea.. but continue to post like a fool..youre making yourself look very immature and stupid..
are you seeing the irony of your posts yet.. I bet not.. thats also a reflection on YOU...

do I need to pay you for throwing your credibility down a sewer? so far youve done it for free
 
Re: Silicon Valley billionaire compares treatment of America's rich to Nazi persecuti

The truth is Obama is trying to enslave this population to the hand outs of the goverment by doing everything counter to growing the economy .. make sure to say thank you when you get your loaf of bread on the breadline.. fools will call it "Obamabread"

Obamas skin color was the needed "trojan horse" to make this radical anti american scumbag "untouchable" to any critisism...and thats why every known scumbag got behind him and out of the country money flooded in along with Soros to get this unlimited radical into office ... ONE OF HIS ASSOCIATIONS would have been enough to derrail any other candidate but NOT OBAMA... we are supposed ot gulp down this jr senator from wrights church Chicago lies and destruction...

I wont

Just so I'm clear your saying that Obama's election was a conspiracy to put a radical in office and they selected him because as a black man he's beyond any reproach whatsoever because any criticism can be dismissed as racism?

Re: Silicon Valley billionaire compares treatment of America's rich to Nazi persecuti

Yes. Does the Occupy movement want to kill all the 1%ers? No. Also the quote in the OP made no mention that it only applied to before the atrocities started, so I don't know where you get that from. But even before the mass murdering started there was the literal branding of Jews, the mobs and the state throwing them and their businesses out of cities, running them into poverty and destitution, placing them in segregated parts of the cities were they could not mix with other folks.

None of that compares to the United States and its an insult to history to stay that it does.


not yet.. but you may want to consult history...there is a reason why people with wealth are leaving the USA in record numbers..

Well, one last post before I head off then. Perhaps you need to be reminded that you started that path in post 145. You insinuated the same thing that I did just now. You just needed a different example, because I am assuming you think Al's comments on Global Warming meritorious because he's not so stupid, and he obviously has more money than you do.

Im saying nobody who didnt have his skin color could have those radical assocatians and NOT HAVE THEM REPORTED before an election.. even today many have no idea about Obama.. many dems have admitted that even..

Rezkos land deal would have been enough to have Mitt tarred and feathered.. an Uncle Odinga would have had Mitt deported .. a Rev Wright type would have had Mitt thrown into a volcano...

need I continue?

remember Mapes and Rather falsified fake National Guard reports to try to harm GWB... they had nothing.. with Obama its ENDLESS

shall we get into his association with Frank Marshall Davis? Ayers? Phlager? Farrakan? Soros, it goes on and on...

You tell me a GOP candidate that could survive that?..
 
Re: Silicon Valley billionaire compares treatment of America's rich to Nazi persecuti

A truism I figured out about life is that success simply breeds the desire for more. The brain does a great job in getting used to and eventually dissatisfied with good things and a terrible job with bad stuff.

Expectations that seem crazy can easily become normal and most people are never satisfied. It's why counting your blessings is important.

So yeah, for those who have it all, a minor discomfort can be all consuming.

i guess we're all guilty of that to some degree.

however, none of that compares to what the Jews went through under Hitler. anyone who makes Nazi comparisons in his argument is opening himself up to mockery.

I said before Kristallnacht.

Did you read the whole piece by Perkins, or not?

Before that day, Nazi progressives were stirring up hatred for the Jews like the Occupiers are with the 1%'ers. the similarities are real.

Many of you all, not you specifically but not not you specifically but I have to be passive aggressive to avoid infractions, are complete morons for comparing Nazi Germany to the Occupy Movement. You know when Occupy wanted some bankers out of town they camped out front of their offices, when the Nazis wanted some Jews out of town they organized a mob and burned their business down and drove them out through the streets.

There are no similarities, people who think they are god damn sick human beings.
 
Re: Silicon Valley billionaire compares treatment of America's rich to Nazi persecuti

Do you at least understand our point of view?

I think your side is way over sensitive and it's crying wolf.

There is no cause for concern. In this country, all groups are constantly being demonized and grumbled about. There is no imminent threat for those groups either.
 
Re: Silicon Valley billionaire compares treatment of America's rich to Nazi persecuti

Not really...in order to make the comparison you have to remove all context and then any political discourse turns into a potential Holocaust.

Again, the article was speaking of the time before the mob actions of burning and killing. Kristallnacht was after this initial period. If Occupy is allowed to fester, like the hatred in Germany did, it could end of having similar results.

Who's talking Holocaust? This is well before that. The Holocaust is after Kristallnacht.
 
Re: Silicon Valley billionaire compares treatment of America's rich to Nazi persecuti

I'm not mocking people better off than me. I'm mocking a billionaire who is crying that he's being mistreated, comparing his treatment to that of the Jews in Nazi Germany for heaven's sake! How absurd is that?

Yes, I like to mock the absurd, it's true.

Nice try....Let me remind you Ditto, that your postings are still available to see even a couple of hours later....You opened your very first post in this thread with...

"Oh, the poor, poor billionaires!"

Now, I know I am no where near the smartest guy in the world, hell, I'm not even the smartest person in my house, but can you show me where you are talking about a specific person in that opening?
 
Re: Silicon Valley billionaire compares treatment of America's rich to Nazi persecuti

Who's talking Holocaust? This is well before that. The Holocaust is after Kristallnacht.

Ehhh....it's not "well before". Depending on your definition and time frames it's either well into the Holocaust or at the beginning. It's not by chance the author of the piece chose something that happened during Nazi Germany.

Really you really believe that if Occupy is allowed to "fester" we could see results similar to Nazi Germany treatment of the Jews? Like mass murder or something like that? I think you're right we should use our law enforcement to break up the Occupy movement now, and while we are at it lets throw that pesky 1st amendment out as well since it causes folks so much trouble.

It would go to mass murder, at least not by government entities. 91 were killed during Kristallnacht. 53 people were killed during the LA riots. How many people might an angry mob kill if this festers?
 
Re: Silicon Valley billionaire compares treatment of America's rich to Nazi persecuti


I see the expression of disapproval regarding some of the outcomes of capitalism being conflated with "hate speech" directed at the rich. And then some ridiculous hyperbole about how any and all taxes are government force, and the idiotic idea that a market is either free or not free, as if "free market" is some sort of binary.

That's the best you've got? That's "radical hate speech?" Please. Worse things have been said by the right-wingers in this thread alone.

Are you not, in this very thread, stirring up hatred for the poor just like the Nazis?

I feel the same way about the policies of the republican party and other right wingers

The difference is, the right is more likely to pursue a Holocaust than the Occupy movement.

After all, OWS directs their criticism towards 1% of the population. The right directs its' criticism towards 47%
