NRA President Defends Hitler Imagery

The Nazi’s armed millions of German citizens, in fact most military age German males ended up being very well armed under Hitler. Also, the Nazi party had millions of supporters in paramilitary gangs prior to taking power, and that they made it easier for those they considered real Germans to buy guns during their tenure before the war.

Anyone talking about the militaristic, chauvinistic Nazi’s as an example of a regime opposed to “their” people being armed is an abject imbecile. Now, they certainly did not want to see those they considered the race enemies of the Germans to be armed but who arms their ‘racial enemies’? I don’t see Keene urging us to allow ‘illegals’ to buy guns.

To those who dont get it…..people like quomo and bloomberg feel they are the elite and deserve heavily armed security of eight or more( comparison hitler and elite germans)….. the other 99% of citizens should not own firearms to defend themselves( the jewish population)….

Folks that are cognizant of history know that Hitler LOOSENED gun laws progressively over several years, not took away German’s guns. Either the NRA-ers don’t know their history or think the rest of us don’t. In fact, their coercive tactics used to loosen American gun laws are FAR more correlative to Hitler than gun control advocates are.

I think those groups have the reading comprehension to get it, unlike yourself. I would refer you to the bit about not wanting the ‘racial enemies’ of the Germans to be armed. Perhaps you are utterly unaware that the Nazi party did not see those groups they sought to exterminate as parts of the German polity at all (in the case of Jews) or parts of the German polity that had to be exterminated for the sake of the Volk’s purity. That is why I bought up “illegals” I don’t see Keene advocating for allowing illegal immigrants to arm themselves to protect their freedom from those evil Federal DHS agents seeking to remove them from their current homes.

I saw the rally, and I saw the crowds in the concourse, and I can also count by eye. There were certainly NOT 10,000 people there by any stretch of the imagination. You can make any claim you want, but when the speakers were speaking the rally did not even fill that park between the Capitol and the Alfred E. Smith building. Your claim that his is the largest gathering in “Albany History” is patently absurd as any Tulip Fest or St. Patrick’s Day parade day sees more people in one place in Albany than this rally had. Hyperbole doesn’t make you believable.

Ha HA HA!!! I see you fell for the bait, airhead. The joke’s on you, pal. Ever heard of reductio ad absurdum?

The one thing I am serious about is how extraordinarily ignorant and nauseatingly offensive it is for people to hysterically compare someone with whom they have a political disagreement regarding a regulatory matter to a psychotic butcher, easily the most evil man of the 20th Century (in a VERY crowded field, I might add) who sent 6 million Jews and millions of others to their deaths and orchestrated gruesome, sadistic tortures designed to maximize pain and suffering on a systematic basis. This is shameful and utterly beyond the pale. Their cause is doomed by the very savagery of their tactics. And if you care to read on, you can see how I agreed 100% with Conservative Republican VJ Machiavelli regarding the use of Mussolini and negative Italian stereotypes against a Governor of Italian heritage by this gang of thugs.

Hitler loosened up gun laws for germans but prohibited the jew from owning weapons of any kind not even a walking stick….funny how people talk of history and leave that part out….

Well, Iron Mike, IM, IronMikerules, or whatever personality you’ve assumed at this hour…

You stated elsewhere that you had “mellowed” over the past year. Sorry to say, your venomous, all-over-the-map ranting makes it obvious that it’s a little more serious than that. So sad, too.

The only “bait” I fell for was seeing some familiar names here that I remembered as offering sane, sensible and cogent arguments. Thanks, Mr. Ipso Facto, for reducing that number by one.

I don’t much care for that small FRACTION of the thousands of demonstrators, who compared Cuomo to Hitler, either. And if you choose to lump me into that group, please show me when and how I’ve endorsed them.

So take your fight to THEM, and stop inferring that the entire group shared that sentiment. If that was the overall theme of the demonstration, or if press reports showed a virtual sea of those placards, we’d have a huge problem on our hands. For God’s sake, you’d find similar nitwits in a crowd that opposes Stewart’s decision to change one of their ice cream flavors.

By all accounts, it was a peaceful and orderly demonstration: no arrests; no disturbances; no mass-gun waving; no torches and pitchforks; no shots fired into the air; no outcries for Cuomo’s head on a stick; no defecation on the Capitol steps; no mounted APD wading into the crowd, spraying mace; no mobs through downtown streets, carrying tents and disrupting traffic. Yes, the lawn was trampled; but there’s an effort underway by the demonstrators to repair it.

“hysterically” ?
“the very savagery of their tactics” ?
“utterly beyond the pale” ?

I’ll take “distasteful” for $100, Alex.

The OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of demonstrators and speakers were simply
there to express an opinion, as allowed by law. You know, kind of like
what you’re doing here.

So get a grip IM, et. al. [that's short for "et alii" -- and others -- aimed at your assorted noms de plume], and check that med schedule.

Oh, and I’m sure by now you’ve heard Andrew on tape, saying that “confiscation could be considered an option.” Why…oh why…would he say that?

You fucking idiot – you can attempt to re write history jackass – we know the fucking truth -go lick a fucking window

Hey asshole- the majority of Americans before and after obamacare are against it and they shoved that up our collective asses – you punk ass liberals only cite polls when it helps you. And by the fucking way you worthless fraud – this is a representive govt – not mob rule by polls -so go crawl back to your hole

Hey utter imbecilic jackass, your pointless post does not really say anything to show that you know history: all it shows is that your grasp of invective is limited, which from a halfwit like you is no surprise.

Fascist blow hards like yourself:
should go to Cuba and get a real good drilling, from a guy who knows one when he sees one. Fidel may have been a terrible leader but he has kept the beaches clean, so be prepared to be used as shark bait you Hitler loving degenerate.

You talk like a facist Nazi thug Mr. Otto, express yourself like a human being please, this isn’t some Nazi propaganda rag sheet and Mrs. Grazzini is right.

Pattie Ritchie ran on supporting the Governor’s program and that is the point. Sen. Ritchie now has rejected the Governor’s program. At this point she isn’t expecting his support if she has a brain in her skull, so no one had to deliver the news, that she’s on the outside looking in just like Skelos.

Gov. Calls shots on Legislation not Ritchie:
he invites you on or off the bus, how silly of you to imply Sen. Ritchie, tells Gov. Cuomo what his legislative program should be at any given time. She had her hand out for his help, but failed to return the favor and help his program. Who needs a one way street from an obscure State Senator like Ritchie, when you’re the Governor. Get real Sik-of-it, no one should be as confused as you are about things. MCM

Get back to me:
when you can put together a race for Governor together as a Republican that gets your candidate 35%, how dare you say that anything approaching a popular mandate against the Governor’s program exists; are you delusional? Get some facts on how campaigns are won together and then read about it, because you sure don’t know about it.

And so it will be.

John she ran against Amy Tresidder and that was like running unopposed, because Mrs. Tresidder was underfunded and didn’t run a campaign that attacked Ritchie on her record. Get real! MCM
