Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Wonder where I've heard this before

I chuckle that not only do some of you believe this. You feel it necessary to repeat on here.

Stein said:

“We have a society in which there are an awful lot of people who have no idea that Stalin, Hitler, Mao Tse-Tung all came to power promising the same kinds of things that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is promising. And it led to mass murder, it led to dictatorship, it led to genocide. These promises are old promises and they invariably lead to bad things.”

Limbaugh then went one step further.

“All that is true, it’s absolutely true, but it’s not just Cortez,” he claimed in the clip shared online by Media Matters. “Folks, this is what the Democrat Party has become.”

    What isn't true? Other than the whole democrat party becoming this?

    This is fucking true

    Anti-Bolshevism and the desire to suppress the left is expressed in pretty much every political speech Hitler made before and after he came to power. So right away it loses its coherence.

    The converse is that “Franco, Pinochet, and Marcos all rose to power promising the same kinds of things and it led to murder, dictatorship, and genocide”.

    And the genocide under LBJ, of course.

    LBJ isn't AOC. We can handle some free sh*t. Can't handle free sh*t 24/7 for everyone.

    Authoritarian states are bad

    Everybody does it

    Bush was Hitler. Obama was Hitler. Trump is Hitler. AOC will be Hitler. Yawn.

    I don't recall the Obama Hitler comparison being that big a meme. I do know that every Republican President since Nixon has been called a racist.
