Thursday Short Cuts
“The Nazis … intimidated people using the power of the state & cultural institutions, just like today’s left.” —Dinesh D’Souza
Upright: “The television mind needs to be reminded of what took place years ago, who Hitler was and why he is recognized as evil. The reading mind remembers this quite well and a lot more; it probably has a book or two about Hitler on the wall.” —R. Emmett Tyrrell
Non Compos Mentis: “Anti-choice groups & white supremacists have something … in common: They both want to control women’s bodies.” —NARAL (“NARAL and white supremacists have something in common. They both believe in eugenics.” —David Harsanyi)
The BIG Lie: “People even in some of the most conservative areas of the country who may themselves personally say, ‘I would never choose to have an abortion,’ or, ‘That’s not something that’s right for me,’ also absolutely do not believe politicians should be making decisions about pregnancy for women.” —Cecile Richards
Race bait: “It’s easy to condemn Nazis and garden variety racists. What’s hard is owning the uncomfortable: that you knew who he was, yet supported him.” —Joy Reid
Dezinformatsiya: “[Trump] has now officially become the president … not only of America but also of the white nationalist movement.” —Joe Scarborough
Braying Jackass: “Both 1st & 2nd Amendments should be amended again, in my humble opinion. To ban Nazis & reduce gun deaths. … What these Nazis did in Charlottesville is not free speech. If America doesn’t wake up to this fact fast, it is in deep trouble.” —Piers Morgan
Alpha Jackass: “If you hold down the woman while the rapist is raping her, and you didn’t rape her, are you a rapist? I mean let’s just, really, let’s cut the BS and start speaking honestly. … If you put Donald Trump in office, you need to think about this before you kneel down and say your prayers tonight. … If you still support the racist, you are the racist.” —Michael Moore
And last… “The Nazis weren’t merely street thugs — they intimidated people using the power of the state & cultural institutions, just like today’s left.” —Dinesh D'Souza
