Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

>>>I see you still don't get it. You honestly don't believe that people use the term "Nazi" to sensationalize their argument?<<<


Wrong again.....YOU don't get it. Of course it's used to sensationalize. I said as much in my first post on this. Familiar with the word "embellish"?

Instead of trying to get through to you again the conventional way, try this clip:

"A column in the New York Post by Ralph Peters, a retired Army intelligence officer, which made repeated references to Nazis, the Gestapo and 'Hitler's Brownshirts' to describe the strategies of Democratic presidential hopeful Dr. Howard Dean and his campaign."

What's the problem with that Nazi reference piece? I read it as a comment on political discipline, loyalty and organization - not as a comment on the underlying political cause.


>>>Anyone who has so little mental aptitude that they have to use the word "nazi" in their argument is certainly not displaying intelligence.<<<


Well.......I just disagree. The way the Nazis brainwashed an entire population into compliance and sympathy is unprecedented in human history. They manipulated their own citizen's minds with tactics that are still being used and still work which is why references are still made to those tactics. You obviously can't distinguish between the Nazi political organization and their philosophical operation and execution.

Another example would be 911. Top US intelligence officials have marveled over the planning and execution of the attack and the discipline of those involved. Is that problematic too?

I really think the word Nazi is so offensive to some that the word itself is unacceptable no matter what context it's in. If that's the case then that should be disclosed, especially in a forum like this. Adding it to the tos column ought to be simple enough.
