wow, rampant inflation, people burning hordes of cash to heat their homes. Yup, we are just like pre-war Germany! (minus the rampant inflation and burning stacks of dollar bills). Can’t wait for the Night of the Long Knives! Who gets the wrath of der fuhrer Obama? Blue-Dog Dems, or just the 40 dumbasfuck Repubs left in the Senate?

…we’re about where Germany was before World War II…

Well, this explains the terrific Swiss cheese at my local Mexican restaurant.

Ven der Führer sez “Ve iss de Master Race…”

The Table of Contents has already been leaked!

Chapter 1 Obama is a Socialist like Hitler, who wasn’t really, but this vapid comparison is just begging to be made

Chapter 2 Obama is a Communist like Stalin, because…because of this block-quote I lifted from NRO Online

Chapter 3 Fwd: FWD: re: More like “Black House” amirite?

Chapter 4 Sewing patterns for fursuits: lion, pig, bear

Hitler was technically Jewish. Does that mean our muslin president is a jew too?

“Part of what we’re trying to do in ‘Saving Freedom’ is just show that where we are, we’re about where Germany was before World War II” And I’m sayin that South Carolina is about where South Carolina was before the Mexican-American War.

Didn’t Jonah Goldberg already write that book?

Maybe Demint was listening to Cabaret recently, reflecting on the parallels between his relationship with lobbyists and Elsie’s with her clients

She wasn’t what you’d call
A blushing flower…
As a matter of fact
She rented by the hour.

And now he’s all confused? Nah, he’s just an asshole.

Do we really need two Carolinas?

Having back-up states (see also: Virginias, Dakotas) made sense during our country’s formation, when there were worries that we might lose or break the other one. But this is the 21st century, and we are in the middle of a severe economic crisis. Surplus states like South Carolina are wasteful, and their politicians should be composted or turned into biofuel or something.

De Mint, De Man, De Legend.

It seems increasingly obvious that this struggle for pre-eminence in the Republican party is not marked by contenders staking out more hardline ideological stances, but by out-stupiding their counterparts.

Republicans 2010/2012: Race to the Bottom!

Personally, I favor the post World War II analogy; you know, the part where we hold the war crimes trials and collaborators like DeMint get their comeuppance.

[re=358852]InsidiousTuna[/re]: “the North Carolina”? You fucking moron.

No, I think he might be on to something. Just last weekend I was at the local cabaret and the androgynous MC welcomed me in three languages and told me to leave my troubles outside.

[re=358856]bitchincamaro[/re]: Or flee to South America.

Well, this little anti-American shit. I can tell by the clarity that this is an actual passage from Saving Fagdom. Let’s see, Obama is a fascist because…”the votes are just power grabs”? WTF, is DeMint trying to tell us that the Democrats and his own party rig every election? Oh, right, the voters are the ones grabbing power…but government hero DeMint is busy “saving freedom”! Get cancer.

“We’re about where Germany was before WWII.” Wrongo, Dr. Deminto. Germany was right where it is now, smack dab in the middle of Europe, and we’re in North America.
Don’t make me put your ass out in Denver.

[re=358848]Extemporanus[/re]: And I think we can dispense with both Dakotas. Maybe Canada would trade us Victoria Island for them.

I still prefer Iris DeMint.

from the comments at the washington monthly:

“jim demint is a traitor to the united states of america.

he should be removed from office and arrested for treason and put on trial for it. and if found guilty, he should be hung.”

agreed !!! so, why doesn’t barry call these fuckers out ? if not publicly, then privately ? bipartisanship is great, to a point……but with a majority, we gotta start playin’ real hardball with the likes of demint, bachmann, etc etc.
(sorry for the lack of the funny. FAIL. but these people suck ass.)

What is this Senator DeMint but a flattering clawback, a pot-gospeller, a bladder-puffed-up wily man, a flibberjib and and upskip, a brain-sick fool, a hoddy-peck and a doddy-pol? What, I ask you? He and all his ilk, huddes the lot of them, curious brains which nothing can content.

[re=358886]chascates[/re]: Agreed. North Dakota is essentially a better-armed, less-educated, more-heavily accented Canada already.

And South Dakota is an overwhelmingly beige, unpaved parking lot for Wall Drug, the Corn Palace, and Mount Rushmore—all three of which are basically just bumper sticker and fannypack patch dispensories for Griswoldian families of fatties who learn about American history one postcard at a time.

I’m all aboot givin’ ’em the boot!

[re=358865]Godless Liberal[/re]: I would also apologize to all on behalf of my home state, ‘cept that bitch still owes me $3.50!

Now look at all the hatred you liberals are spewing. Man writes a thoughtful critique of the American scene and you vilify him for it. Must be your impure bloo… genes acting up.

is Hopey painting water colors?

Wait, does this mean we can send DeMint to the camps? Because I could get behind that.

[re=358858]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Agreed, and it’s befuddling. At least I was befuddled yesterday when I saw a poster of Obama with a Hitler moustache at a booth at the edge of the farmers market outside of Seattle. Kirkland is probably more Republican than the rest of Seattle, but still, it’s populated mainly by Microsofties and other educated folks whose knuckles don’t drag and who cook their meat. I stammered a few zingers like, “That’s terrible,” and tongue-clucked, but really, my brain froze in the presence of such profound asshattery. Even my l’esprit d’escalier has drawn a blank. This is when I’d like to have the Wonkette regulars on IM.

South Carolina needs to put more money into their educational systems. Or send their favorite sons to a blue state to be educated.

The Republicans need to settle on whether Obama is Hitler or Lenin? I really wish they’d settle on something so I know whether to be worried about Brown Shirts or Bolsheviks and whether I’m going to wind up in some sort of FEMA concentration camp or banished to some cold desolate place like North Dakota.

The Social Democrats were pretty much the only “mainstream” party that stood up against the Nazis – the conservatives thought they could use the Nazis to get rid of the Communists, and the centrists thought that it would blow over and that they should just go along to get along. NSDAP stood for National Socialist German Worker’s Party – the “D” stood for “Deutsche,” not “Demokratische,” a priority that was made abundantly clear over the next 12 years. The Nazis were somewhat socialistic, but Germany’s wealthy industrialists were generally ok with them (shamefully ok with them in many cases).

There’s a memorial in front of the rebuilt Reichstag (which houses the Bundestag) that has the names of primarily SPD (Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands – Social Democratic Party of Germany) and KPD (Communist Party of Germany) politicians who died because of their opposition to the Nazis.

No matter how silly the modern SPD gets, I’ll always admire what some of their leaders tried to do in the 30’s. Shame on DeMint to slander them by lumping them in with the Nazis!

I love Wonkette, because I can think something, then come here and read it. And usually it’s much better written than my frothing, spittle flecked rages unleashed upon my monitor.
