I like Chris Christie

You know who else used the FDR's internment of Japanese folks to as a retort to mentions of Hitler? Pol Pot.

Another person who, when mentioned, should be redirected. The reality is their incarceration based on race was absolutely a huge violation of human rights, as were those who were sent to camps for being German or Italian. We should not forget.

I agree. Nor should we forget about concentration camps like Wounded Knee.
 
Hella! True that.
You do have a point, to some degree, about over use of Hitler/Nazi's diluting the historical significance of what happened in that regime.....if that's possible. It does blind us Americans to our own dirty hands in human rights that from a numerical standpoint are not as atrocious but from a moral standpoint is essentially the same moral failing. People often say we must learn from the Holocaust so that it doesn't happen here. Hell it did happen here. It may not have occured on the same scale nor was it as efficiently industrialized but by god it did happen here. Five million people anhilated in 100 years as opposed to 13 years. The big difference was the American Holocaust was far more affective in that Native American culture far more attenuated than Jewish culture was.
 
Already did. It was about commonalities. Yurt's OP made one point. Onc pointed out that even hitler had that quality, therefore that quality alone is hardly enough to "like" someone.

and again, like onceler, you completely misrepresent my OP. i never said that. but you two just love to troll threads.

I wasn't "representing" anything that you said. I was making a counterpoint to the idea that it doesn't really matter if we agree w/ someone's ideas - just the fact that they speak their mind is a good in & of itself.

You got very defensive about it though. And went all ad him, as you usually do.
 
and again, i never said speaking their mind is good in and of itself. that is a misrepresentation of the OP. you're either a liar or you can't read. which is it?
 
not because i agree with all his policies, statements, outbursts etc....but he speaks without much of the bullshit we are fed from virtually all other politicians.

you can dislike him as much as you want, but he speaks his mind. we need that today. we don't need political bullshit shoveled across the country.

Say what you mean. Mean what you say.
 
It's a pretty clear implication, Yurtsie. I mean - it doesn't matter how much you dislike him? This is what we need today?

Really?

translation:

yurt is correct, he never said that, i have to make things up in order to attribute that to his OP.

get over yourself and stop trolling threads.
 
Again - such a bad translation.

Usually, your translations tend to be some form of wishful thinking/self-aggrandizement....
 
the translation is 100% accurate. i never said it was the only trait. you and dune trolled the thread and it backfired on you two.

How did it backfire? For those who wanted to engage the example, instead of knee-jerk ad hom, there was actually some robust discussion.
 
:palm: Yurt wants to "debate" he just can't stand if you disagree.

says the guy who told me to fuck off because you couldn't prove that inflation makes gas cheap now. stop lying and start debating and stop running away when you're proven wrong. you're the one who gets wildly angry when others don't agree with you.
