I won’t bother discussing the nonsense currently being trafficked by the media except to note that comparing Republican presidential candidates to Hitler is a playbook older than Joe Biden.
Back in 2016, I picked out some select moments from “Every Republican is Hitler” history.
“If the British had not fought in 1940, Hitler would have been in London and if Democrats do not fight in 1968, Nixon will be in the White House.” Vice President Hubert Humphrey
Chicago Mayor Daley accused Nixon of “Hitler-type” tactics.
“Goldwater’s acceptance speech had the stench of fascism. All we needed to hear was Heil Hitler.” Governor Pat Brown of California
“We see danger signs of Hitlerism in the candidacy of Mr. Goldwater.” Martin Luther King
“I have drawn a parallel between Goldwater and Hitler and I make no apology for drawing that parallel,” George Meany – AFL-CIO
“If you overlook your involvement in the KKK, or the Nazi party, or the Republican Party, you are lying.” Senator Tom Lantos
And that’s just a small sample.
Mayor Jack Shelley of San Francisco claimed that Goldwater strategists got all their ideas from Mein Kampf.
FDR accused Republican candidate Wendell Willkie of using “Hitler tactics” by repeating his slogans frequently.
In the Iran-Contra trial, Oliver North was accused of “following Adolf Hitler’s official strategy”. What did one have to do with the other? Nothing. But this sort of lazy accusation had become typical and routine. William Shirer, who had also compared Nixon’s bombing of Hanoi to the Holocaust and called Nixon an “apt pupil” of Hitler (Pentagon spokesman Jerry Friedheim was Goebbels), compared Reagan to Hitler for intervening in Grenada. Then Shirer compared Bush I to Hitler for trying to outlaw flag burning.
By the Reagan years, the left had achieved a banality of Hitler analogies. Everything Reagan did was just like Hitler. All of Reagan’s associates were just like Hitler. It was Hitlers all the way down.
President George W. Bush inherited this banality of Hitlers. To left-wing Truthers, open and covert, 9/11 was the Reichstag fire, the Patriot Act was the beginning of a national dictatorship and Bush was a dictator. As Kurt Vonnegut quipped, “The only difference between Bush and Hitler is that Hitler was elected.”
Everyone, to leftists, is Hitler except the Islamic terrorists allied with Hitler who are trying to kill Jews today.
Chris Shugart says
Considering that Germany only had one Hitler, it’s a wonder that this country has managed to survive all these years with so many Hitlers running around.
NYCRight says
Calling Barry Goldwater Nazi-like showed their contempt for voters. Goldwater’s campaign was largely about limiting the size of the government, which is anti-fascist. And then there is that fact that Barry Morris Goldwater was half-Jewish and many voters assumed that he was Jewish
Condor says
This is classic projection from a Marxist-Leninist criminal organization with international support (aka the Democrat Party). The Comintern has returned.
Jeff Bargholz says
Hm.
Who has wanted the government to have complete control of society? Control over the military, our national borders, business, agriculture, religion, art, our rights and our very thoughts?
That would be Dirtbagocrats and Hitler. Both socialists.
Who has wanted to impose their wills, agendas and manias on those who don’t want to accept them? Who wants to repress all dissent? You know, “cancel” people?
That would be Dirtbagocrats and Hitler. Both fascists.
The type of projection and transference that Dirtbagocrats like Heels Up Harris practice is ridiculous and evil to anybody with a functioning brain and conscience. Only mentally retarded and insane people believe lies which are patent reverse reality nonsense, and only evil scum know the truth but accept and promulgate them anyway.
Hitler was a socialist and Fascist and so is the sociopolitical left, which is embodied by the Dirtbagocrat party.
There have been two assassination attempts on Trump in the lead-in to the election but none on those anti-American demons, Alzheimer Joe Beijing Biden or Heels Up Khlamydia “Honkey” Harris. That says it all. It’s patriots Vs socialist fascists in this election.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Exactly. Thanks Jeff !!!!!
Michael Ellis says
Proper spelling is democraps.
Jeff Bargholz says
I think I stepped on a pile of Democrap yesterday. It’s all over the parks and sidewalks here in San Jose.
Taffy says
In some parts of the country, this alternate spelling is acceptable!
Algorithmic Analyst says
Hatred is the essence of the left. Even Caroline Glick wrote that the left needed to abandon hatred, but hatred is the fundamental characteristic of the left. Because that hatred is projected outwards onto others, leftists don’t realize that it is leftists that are the haters. The left is cleverly designed so that its useful idiots can project their hatred onto others, and thereby imagine that the left stands for peace and love. It is hatred that holds the left together.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, those hate mongers on the left sure are prigs, aren’t they? They may not all shout at the sky and howl at the moon but they’re definitely deranged.
The latest whacko projection from Heels Up Harris is that Trump is a fascist who wants to use the army and police against everybody who disagrees with him. “Lying shrew” doesn’t even begin to describe her.
Algorithmic Analyst says
The Dems are the fascists 🙂
Mussolini started out as a leftist.
mds123 says
yes…but this time they really, really – cross their hearts and hope to die! – mean it….
bert33 says
Im looking forward to Trump II and a lot of his critics having to eat their words. Trump 2024
Hardball1Alpha says
I love how the writer ended the article with the hard-hitting fact of this “1000 year war” that we are in… as most others are too fearful to even acknowledge it.
And given that they have locked arms with the Marxist revolutionaries that the Teachers Unions have given birth to, look for more radical street takeovers, riots and 50-person smash ‘n grabs.
Strangely, no one ever makes the connection between the ubiquitous “smart phones” and coordinated violent crime.
Intrepid says
Amazing. Except for the lack of detention camps, the endless lawfare, a doofus pronoun military, moronic television programming, and two major wars going on in Ukraine and Israel, every Republican since the mid 1900s is just like Hitler.
Never mind that the D.C. J6 Goolag detention camp is a Democrat invention. Anti-Trump lawfare is a Democrat invention. The pronoun military is a Democrat invention. And mindless television programming is product of the Hollywood democrats. And the Ukraine war and the Gaza war would not have happened had Trump been in the WH.
Yep the Republicans are always like Hitler.
Kasandra says
Well, you have to admit that Trump.drinks water and so did Hitler. Q.E.D.
Mickorn says
So true. Thank goodness nobody on this site ever compares anyone to Hitler.
Jeff Bargholz says
Hitler, the socialist fascist who hated Jews? The Nazi party?
Every leftist and Dirtbagocrat in the country is definitely comparable.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Towards the end of the war, Hitler said he wished he had done like Stalin and wiped out the upper classes in Germany.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah, those upper crusties complain too much and want too much. They think they deserve top spots in any new regime. Best to eradicate all dissent.
SIG HEIL!
Hitler and Stalin. Role models for the Dirtbagocrat party.
TruthLaser says
Ok, you are Hitler.
Intrepid says
Actually we don’t. That’s your department. In fact the “Comparison to Hitler” department by Harris and Co. is in full operation with two weeks to go before the election.
Desperation time. Sucks to be you, little man.
Lefty McNaughtwright says
Let’s be clear: everyone who disagrees with me is literally Hitler.
free says
I wonder if the author saw my comment from a few weeks ago. I made the following comment [I don’t recall where].
What do you suppose the odds would be that for the last 40 years or so the Republican Party has run only racists, nazis and all-around awful people for political office? How is it possible that every politician in the Republican Party is a racist, nazi, misogynist and all the other awful things you can think of.
Our media is sick and diseased.
Kent Rebman says
I’m sorry to say I can’t find the note I made about it when I read it some years ago because I’d like to cite the source. But, running off memory, in addition to the examples mentioned here, when he ran for re-election, the leftist press called Dwight Eisenhower, you know, the guy who took Nazi Germany’s surrender in 1945, Hitler. There really is nothing to which they will not stoop.
John Sweet says
New York Times headline 1948: PRESIDENT (Truman) LIKENS DEWEY TO HITLER AS FASCISTS’ TOOL.
XisDshizL says
Vonnegut should stick to fiction. Hitler was NEVER elected; he was appointed chancellor by Hindenburg IIRC.
Jeff Bargholz says
Exactly, and Hindenburg didn’t want to do it but was under intense pressure to do so. He could’ve been killed, actually. As you know, Hitler went on to declare himself Fuhrer.
Vonnegut was a good writer but a strange guy. He was a leftist in a lot of ways but had no love for Marxism.
Galatians2:20 says
Thanks to my paternal grandfather, who served in the Army during WWII, I’ve been fascinated with the history and all things to do with that time period. For more than 50 years I have done a deep study into WWII and I truly cannot tell any difference between the Nazi Party of the 1930s and 1940s and this current Democrat Party. I’m not saying this to be one of those people tossing the “Hitler” name around, it’s because it is the TRUTH that history, not the woke/globalist/DEI version, but real history, is absolute proof that the Democrat politicians and their supporters today are just as wicked, evil, and despicable as the Nazis were back then.
TruthLaser says
Antifa is literally Antifaschistische Aktion created by the German Communist party in 1932. Its founder, the party leader Ernst Thaelmann fled to Moscow when Hitler came to power. Antifa groups were active in numerous countries and in recent years have surged in the US. The idea that Antifa is against the Republican Party and the fact that the Democrat Party supports Antifa’s “mostly peaceful” activities shows where to look for the face of totalitarianism.
Condor says
BINGO. The Nazi Party (NSDAP) and Stalin’s Soviet Communist Party are two sides of the same socialist coin. The notion that the Nazi party was on “the right” is one of the Big Lies promoted by the Left since the 1930’s. People who don’t know history and drink the media Kool Aid seem not to realize what the “S” in NSDAP stands for.
Condor says
Spot on. The Democrat party appears to be following the playbook of the NSDAP (Nazi party) in 1930’s Germany, and the parallels are clear. The Biden regime is loaded with racists and anti-Semites. The Justus Dept and the 3-letter agencies are the new Gestapo, SS, and SD (Sicherheitsdienst) all rolled into one (supported by compromised and radicalized judges). Their Antifa/BLM allies are the Brownshirt/SA street thugs. The legacy MSM and the oligarchs of social media are the Joseph Goebbels propaganda ministry. Industrialists and other corporatists are pushing Democrat-Socialist party ideology and profiting from forced/slave labor. The education and consultant industry that has formed around Critical Race Theory propaganda initiatives is reminiscent of the NSDAP support and education of the Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth – boys) and Bund Deutscher Madel (League of German Girls). The push to politicize the military parallels the formation of the SS and its Waffen SS military arm as the Praetorian Guard for the party as well as its political commissar system Nationalsozialistischer Führungsoffiziere (National Socialist Leadership Officers) introduced in ’43-’45 which resembled Stalin’s NKVD political commissar system. They engineered their Reichstag fire moment on Jan 6 at the Capitol and leveraged that in similar fashion as the Nazis, complete with political prisoners and intimidation tactics via massive deployment of troops in DC. History is not a cautionary tale for these modern-day National Socialists and Bolsheviks (two sides of the same socialist coin), it’s an instruction manual. We are hurtling through a replay of history, and there is a cataclysm up ahead.

First Things: “The End of the Age of Hitler”

CowboyUp says
From gun control, price controls, speech control, to the radical environmentalism, socialized medicine, institutionalized racial and religious discrimination, socialist policies are socialist policies. Hitler and fascism are over there on the left with the dems. That’s become a lot clearer in the last decade. It’s past time the dems had their noses rubbed in it.
Jeff Bargholz says
Good list of some of the particular and deep reaching methods the fascist D-Bags use to control society and warp it into their version of tyranny.

The Demo-Rats and the United Nation Americas #1 and #2 Public Enemies along with Soros, Schwabe and Gates and all their connected with the Globalists/CFR
Charles Casaburi says
Hitler was allied with Stalin at the start of ww2. Nazi means national socialism so they’re alliance made perfect sense. Stalin who FDR called uncle Joe was warned by Churchill that Hitler was about to attack he assumed his socialist soulmate was more trustworthy . The left in America didn’t turn on Hitler until he launched his surprise attack. Stalin’s failure to take Churchill’s warning cost Russia millions of lives
Billy Bones says
I know a guy who knows a guy who once worked in the Trump White House. He told me he heard that back then Trump wanted his staff to refer to the Secret Service as the SS.
Allen says
I suppose that if I were a Democrat, I’d respond to this by stating something along the lines of, “of course they were all painted as Hitler….because Republicanism itself is Hitlerian/fascist, etc”.
I can’t believe anyone buys this crap any more.
Hardball1alpha says
Hey Greenfield… I think your argument got traction. Seen it on Fox News for days now.
Joey says
The left accuses the right of doing the dirty, treasonous things that they do. Likewise, they call the right ecactly what they are like – HitIer. The leftist brownshirts know the impact of the Big Lie, and have studied it in their Alinsky 101 classes at their poison ivy league universities.
Floyd Looney says
The Nazi’s were leftists
