Limbaugh & Republicans have long used Nazi rhetoric to smear progressives
Edited on Fri Aug-14-09 03:00 PM by GreenTea
Limbaugh is truly a fascist - Republicans are always trying to steer fascism away from themselves by accusing others of what their ideology & agenda has always been.

One of the oldest trick in the book...accuse your opponent/enemy of exactly what you propagate, believe, ideology, philosophy, agenda, etc...

And Limbaugh & the republicans are corporate fascist, now using their brown shirts and storm troopers tactics....So Limbaugh points the finger away from himself & the republicans by accusing Obama & the Dems of being exactly what he & the republican are, and what exactly what the republicans are doing.

Because it's so clear republicans do not want to be labeled what they are...Which is exactly what they are - corporate Nazis fascist - So accuse Obama & the democrats of being what the republicans are to take the focus of fascism away from the republicans.

Republican ideology and fascism are both the right of the political spectrum...their ideologies and agenda are nearly identical.

So it's very easy to see what Limbaugh is doing....he wants the fascist Nazi republicans disassociated from Nazism so he accuses his enemies (Obama & the Democrats) of being what most people hate....Fascist & Nazis!

But we ALL know what the lying filthy pigman Limbaugh is attemting to do!
