First Concord Police Chief Duval and now black civil rights leader turned Progressive Congressman – I’m a Nazi for being a blogger?

Nazi SymbolNo, Duval didn’t call me, or other “extreme right-wing” bloggers” a Nazi – but Congressman Jim Clyburn (D-SC) did. Duval called out several groups in his application for a replacement armored tank (a new Lenco Bearcat) like Occupy NH, Sovereign Citizens, and Free Staters (and probably TEA Party and Second Amendment supporters went through his mind as well) thinking that these were people who presented a clear and immediate danger to Concord (like that tank would get lots of usage in a town of 43,000 – daily!  Weekly!  Monthly! OK, maybe one every couple of years when in years past, a few squad cars would have sufficed).  But no, he did not declare that this groups were Nazis or Nazi-like.

But Clyburn did meet up with Godwin’s Law and jetted right past it:

Democratic representative Jim Clyburn likened conservative media and websites to the propaganda outlets of Nazi Germany in a radio interview today. The South Carolina Democrat at first seemed to be going after the American media as a whole, but went on to target “extreme right-wing” bloggers for supposedly ginning up “manufactured controversies.”

Would he be talking about…..us?  Naw, not a chance!  Right Wing?  Patriots, for sure.  Extreme?  Only in that we want to return to real Constitutional values and not “manufactured” ones.  Really – calling Right of Center bloggers to be the same kindred kind as ….Nazis?

He warned of serious consequences of people’s trusting such sources, saying ”the people of Germany believed Hitler’s foolishness that led to the Holocaust. They believed that stuff.

Seriously – trying to make the equivalence that conservative bloggers are akin to those that carried out the Holocaust???  I am just out of words to describe this.  But, given what they did to Romney, the mischaracterizations that they did to a decent human being, it show that Progressives believe that politics really is warfare.  No, they may not use guns – but they certainly will use what they can to demonize and destroy people to get them off the political stage by making them toxic to the non-political people in the middle.  All and any means necessary are possible – and are utilized.

“You have people’s words and phrases being misrepresented and looped through the news media and thrown out there on the Internet, and people run with it because these things start getting reported in the mainstream media, and before you know it, people believe that stuff,” the third-ranking Democrat in the House said. “Most of these people are not media people,” Clyburn said, but rather independent “bloggers for the extreme right wing.”

Progressives have always characterized Conservatives and Libertarians as evil people simply because we differ politically.  We defend the philosophy that started this country – they want to replace it.  We write about Liberty & Freedom, with Limited Government and Free Markets – and we are Nazis for it.  Can one demonize another human being more than that?  Betcha they’ll come up with something worse (hmm, not even sure that being the Devil himself is worse than being a Nazi…).

Good to know.  Guess he hasn’t been reading Media Matters, the Puffington Host, or Granite State Progress lately….
