Fox and their viewers might be - just may be -so obtuse they totally miss the irony -or shamelessness- of this two bit huckster grabbing the mantle of persecuted innocent. It seems as if even Ingraham isn’t buying it.

Hey. Word was floating around that someone was a serious dick to you here. You seem like someone fully competent to take care of your own business, but just so you know, I'll have your back anyway.

Right/ I thought those were just "share with your BFF or secret lover" necklaces. Who knew there was such a story behind them?

What exactly does one do to be a nazi in your eyes? Vote for Bernie? That’s socialism. Hate Jews? Egyptians did it first but they’re neither German or socialist. What about being German? My Jewish aunt is German I don’t she’s a nazi. What if you’re a socialist racist German practicing Jew. That’s about as close as you can get but are they disqualified because they’re Jewish? You have no credibility when you say things like that. You can’t tell people that they should be taken for their word and fight against stereotypes and grouping large numbers of people and turn around and claim everyone that doesn’t think like you is a nazi. I’m politically neutral but every time I hear this “nazi” dribble I take one step further away from whoever’s saying it.

When I say "Nazi" I mean a particularly bigoted fascist. Fascism is an extrem form of conservatism and most fascist movements are very similar with common characteristics. The Nazis weren't very unusual except for how far they could implement their goals before they were stopped. Here are the main ones, though there is a lot of overlap between these points.

Extreme nationalism and xenophobia.Obsession with "morality" or "cultural purity".Disdain for human rights or equal rights.Hatred of "socialism" or anything that seems "liberal".Misogyny, racism, homophobia, and other bigotry.Identity and motivation is based on opposing perceived enemies.Distrust of all media except their own punditry and propaganda.Obsession with national security, crime, and punishment.Worship of the military, police, and authoritarian leaders.Rejection of secular government and demanding special rights and privileges for their own religious group.Against regulations or restrictions on corporations.Against unions and workers rights.Disdain for science, education, and the arts.

Trumpers, Fox bots, and other Republicans share most or all of these. I find "Nazi" is much more succinct than having to describe all of this every time. Oh, and BTW, many of Hitler's supporters weren't technically Nazis, but I still include them in that group. They were just right-wing bigots who wanted to make Germany great again. If you had told them about the death camps, they would have dismissed it as "fake news".

My guess is the obsession with Mayor Pete has to do with the standing ovation given to him by Fox news town hall attendees. I know Pete wouldn't want to hear this but I'm seriously considering him for the #2 position at the White House.

Oh and Rhyan is a small town, attention seeking creepo. Go the fuck away.
