"HEIL TRUMP" ad from Citizen PAC- EXACT QUOTES from Trump and Hitler juxtaposed

The "Heil Trump" ad from Citizens PAC has video/audio quotes from Trump, followed by nearly the exact same language from 1930's videos of Hitler. Note the citizens Trump logo at the end forms a swastika.

They don't seem afraid of the light anymore. Usually those cockroaches would flee and hide when called out. Here there were a lot of comments to the effect of, "Hey, Hitler was pretty good!"

Donald Trump is dangerous enough without the cheap editing trick of taking words out of context that don't really match and innercutting them with Hitler.

It is too crude and not effective.

I posted something a few days ago about his letter promoting "88" generals. Those numbers have a very significant meaning in the white nationalist-neo nazi movements. The 8th letter of the alphabet is H two H's signify Heil Hitler. The Anti-defamation League has a paper on their website about this. We are in dangerous territory.

Referenced in the video comments...

14 words - Wiki
"Because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the earth."

By a statement, 88 words in length, from Volume 1, Chapter 8 of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf:
"What we must fight for is to safeguard the existence and reproduction of our race and our people, the sustenance of our children and the purity of our blood, the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may mature for the fulfillment of the mission allotted it by the creator of the universe. Every thought and every idea, every doctrine and all knowledge, must serve this purpose. And everything must be examined from this point of view and used or rejected according to its utility."

I remember thinking it was a weird number of generals to get endorsements from, but I didn't think about the connection. 88 is a common tattoo for neo-nazi skinheads, right? I've watched too many gang and prison tv shows, lol...

Is Citizens Super PAC, a Conservative Group that was formed by members of Carly Fiorina and Ted Cruz's campaign. Hell has frozen over when we agree with those two.

Can you blame them? If Republicans and Conservatives are going to eat their own, so be it.

Overreached. Music was too strong, showed all clips of what made Hitler so effective: his speeches, his energy and his ability to rile people up for their country.

At the same time it shows none of the atrocities/ consequences of electing Hitler: murdering millions of innocents, utter lack of remorse/violation on human dignity, destroying his country, ruthless imperialism, and being a major player in the biggest world war the world has seen.

The ad basically elevates Trump to the "power/strength/energy" of Hitler without showing how destructive it can be. I think it'd be better off painting him as a small handed reality star buffoon, rather than the second coming of Hitler,imo- lots of potential for backfire Just take a look at the comments and you'll see that.

Trump really does talk like Hitler. The creepiest part was the "Sieg Heil!" part, and the pledge. Play this everywhere.

any educated person will understand what Trump is dong..(yes any...) For those who believe in Trump. it will not stop him...so here is the truth.................

.Hitler never got more than 37 percent of the vote..never in a contested election...So..If Trump gets 37 percent, and Hillary gets 55 percent..and the others get 8 percent...Who wins?

Hillary 55 percent, Trump 37 percent..Landslide...Hillary wins by 18 percent...perhaps 15 -20 million more votes than Don the con...note..54 days before the electon. This ad .. Hitler/Trump... could awaken many people..and they could see what Trump is..just as the Whitman ad awakened many..
