Anne Frank's stepsister compares Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler

yankintx said:
Hitler never intended to exterminate the Jews, not in the beginning. The official German policy was to throw them out, or as Mr. Trump would call it deportation. That is were it started, and look what happened, it was an official government policy that evolved into mass hysteria aimed at one sector of a society. Sound eerily familiar? Those that do not learn from history, well you are what you are.

If you're in Texas, don't you have to vote in either the Democrat or Republican primary? If so, doesn't that mean that many independents who lean left will be voting between Sanders and Clinton without an opportunity to otherwise vote against Trump?

Yes, we can choose to vote either the Dem or Republican primary candidates. I am undecided on which party or candidate, I am voting on one social issue this cycle, which I wont go into as I don't want to send the thread off in a different direction. Not many candidates will go as far as I would like on my pet issue, Trump is one of those candidates so therefore was on my shortlist. Now he is at the bottom, below Mrs Clinton lol

Oh please, deporting illegal aliens in accordance with Federal Law is nothing like what the Nazis did.

He'll some guy named Dwight D Eisenhower and his right hand man Joseph Swing did that very thing in the 1950s, no one compared him to Hitler

Just go to a RW website and see how they speak of any Latino or Muslim. In their mind, they are all illegals. The FreeRpublic nuts are going ape today over Fox using a Latina and a Muslim as guest moderators in tonight's debate. They call them illegals and worse. Check it out.

Wasn't this step-sister born after the war Moot? And she is, I think Dutch, so would not 'personally have witnessed' events in Germany, even if she had been around, as a little child, at the time.

When did the Germans invade the Netherlands? Were where Hitler's racial policies enacted within the greater Reich?

If you can answer those two questions you will have the answers to your questions/comments. C'mon folks, the war was only 70 years ago, what are they teaching in history class?

Cause if theres one part of Hitlers program that has really gone done in infamy its Hitlers economic policies.....

How old are you? I have a Masters in European history, and Hitler's economic program did not go down in infamy. Maybe to the neo Nazis it does, the rest of us realize that the German economic miracle can happen here as well, if we use slave labor.

I suggest some scholarly reading on the subject. But if your more the Wikipedia type

"The basic feature of our economic theory is that we have no theory at all."

Adolph Hitler
 
Moot said:
Rounding up eleven million illegal Mexicans and deporting them....sounds like something Hitler would do. How does Trump propose to round them all up?

Perhaps Trump could recruit white supremacist and Neo Nazi organizations to do the job....since he already has their full support.

Any of those folks look at what it will cost to search and deport all those illegals? Or is Trump going to pay for that himself?

So? Last I checked ones legal status in the country Is a function of law and not the subjective opinion of some freeper somewhere

Complete non sequitur

If any slippery slopes were true I'd've been in the death furnace years ago. Give me a break. I wish someone would hurry up and stick me in the FEMA Camp already

If that were true, CNN would not have drawn a dubious link. Many, many people do not like Trump, just as many do not like Hillary, but no one really cares. It's only of interest if someone "special" cares, and so, CNN attempted the ridiculous...to link a woman to the historical personae of Ann Frank.

CNN failed. But, we must give them credit for pulling out Godwin's Law on the spur of the moment.

Laws can be ignored, over-enforced or straight up changed. That's for sure. Hell, those nuts don't even think a guy born in Miami is a natural born US citizen. Get enough people to hate Latino and Muslim folks, you never know how that'll turn out. Mobs are ugly that way.

It's free speech. Get over it.

And as far as Trump's future plans we know as much about them as the German people did before Hitler rose to power.

Free speech does not mean you get to make offensive and ridiculous comparisons and others not criticize you for them. Everyone is free to express their opinion and others are free to call them out when they express an opinion that is offensive or absurd.

As a gay man I prefer to keep an eye on xenophobia in any form, therefore I will keep continue to keep watch for that slippery slope.

Though, i think Trump is one of the worst candidates since Agnew, I tend not to think he is probably as bad as AH.

Those who don't pay attention to history... Nevermind his collar is that of Hilter's Air Force. What kind of person glorifies that?

It certainly explains his visceral reaction to Anne Frank.

But . . . as to why she even has media attention - eyes are on the Frank family for the controversial Copyright loopholes they're threading through in order to keep Frank's diary under copyright.

Otherwise, no one would have been noticing her views in anything.

Too many people, groups, and even ethnicities are being compared to Hitler and the Nazis these days- its become a cliche.
 
yankintx said:
The rhetoric coming out of Trumps mouth in regards to Muslims, that is borderline xenophobia. And the educated among us, only have look at recent history to see were xenophobia can lead. I see loads of young people lapping that anti Muslim rhetoric up like it was milk from there moms tit, people are so gullible.

How can you argue with what he said about Muslims? I mean really.

The difference being Hitler wanted to throw out citizens of his country whereas Trump wants to throw out illegals.

Can you not see a difference between somebody that should be there and somebody that should not?

Are you worried about what nuts think and if so how do you think that would affect anybody else?

Nuts are always the first ones to get a mob going...all they need is a Trumpette to lead them.

Borderline xenophobia? What's that?

Look around the world and you'll see that any xenophobia seems to be coming from Muslims.

It's an election campaign and all this BS is bound to arise.

Odd that those who accuse Trump of 'fear mongering' are those most afraid of 'nuts' and 'mobs'. Just who's spreading fear?
