In reply to the discussion: Mitt Romney Reminds me of a Nazi [View all]Texas-Limerick
(93 posts)70. Republicans and Nazis
Republicans and Nazis we should never compare
To do so would be outrageous and unfair!
But there's a question that continually keeps me awake
Would old Nazis good Republicans make?
Republicans could never be Nazis, for goodness sake!
But could Nazis, in the Grand Old Party, ever partake?
Could the founding fathers of the Thousand Year Reich
Adapt to the party of a Thousand Points of Light?
Given some thought, it's not so unfeasible
Even President Eisenhower thought it conceivable
When he found SS Wernher Von Braun hiding in the thistles
Only to make him father of NASA and our ballistic missiles
Given that example, why couldn't more rehabilitate their brand?
This time, be good soldiers for the Republican high command
Wouldn't Rommel, a Panzer Commander of Field Marshal rank
Be equally comfortable running a right wing think tank?
Or Joseph Goebbels, charged to propagandize and flummox
Could become a talking head with his own show on Fox
Eichmann and his concentration camp guards
Would be pole watchers, checking our registration cards
And those entitlement programs that never really worked
Our leaders bold proposals they've flip flopped and shirked
Would Nazis be like these windsocks and spin it?
Or would they throw grandma off the cliff? ...In a Wehrmacht minute!

If Romney looks like a duck, smells like a duck, quacks like a duck... n/t

Yep. Then there are the remote "Dr Frist" dianoses of mental illness that are just as dumb.

I think evaluating the character of those who would lead us is quite important.

The only reason Romney hasn't ordered the murder of millions is he hasn't had the opportunity, yet..

I guess you must have met many "educated" Nazis during the third reich in order to compare...

"Nazi" is a trigger word, but I think we need to make the comparison nonetheless.

When you brought up Eichmann, you reminded me of some of my grad school work from last year.

Oh please. Romney may be a cold-hearted asshole, but to say he would murder millions of people

No. Personalities like Hitlers are not unique, or even particularly rare.
