Hey, moron with the “health care reform = Dachau” sign at yesterday’s protest: freaking Elie Wiesel hates you, or at the very least… you know… considers that a false equivalency. On Twitter. [Twitter]
OUCH
Assumes fact not in evidence: that these people can feel shame, let alone even know what shame is.
But rock the comments, Elie.
Third person tweets = WIN. It’s almost like he can’t even be bothered with the likes of the teabaggers.
“False equivalency!” Thank you for putting a name to the currency these people trad in.
The sad thing is, none of the teabaggers have the slightest clue who this person is.
The average teabagger doesn’t know who Elie Wiesel is.
I’m sure most of them have no idea who he is.
YOU ELIE!
I’m sure someone on the right’s gonna come back with “Elie Wiesel has a deep-seated hatred for white America.” If they haven’t already.
Teabagger: “Ain’t he like that Nahwm Champsky libral moran?”
Terry: I would say how about “the above average teabagger” but an average teabagger is already so high up on the teabagger food chain- I doubt there is an above average.
ANYTHING you don’t like can be distilled down to reductio ad hitlerum.
(As coined by neocon Leo Strauss
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_Hitlerum)
Collectively America has a 5th grade education and occasionally the back of the bell curve gets together in DC to have a tantrum about how their fat stupid lives are so hellish. Fuckers.
Shame of you! Shame of you!
I once met him and, upon learning that I am a librarian, he remarked that librarians are very important and then gawked at my boobs.
smitallica: Not only do they not know who Elie Wiesel is, they do not know the word equivalency. This twittering by some old guy about their activities is doubtless, to them, a win.
binarian: Terry: smitallica: ZOMG get a room!!

Theo Geisel on the GOP Tea Party’s anti-Semitism and Holocaust comparisons: “I would not, could not, in a box. I could not, would not, if on Fox. I will not meet them in the House. I will not meet them with a louse. I will not meet them here or there. I will not meet them anywhere. I do not meet teabags and shams. I do not like them, Sam-I-am.”
about 2 minutes ago from mulberry street
magic titty: DAMN!!! I didn’t see that. Simulposting?
The teabaggers should ask Mr. Wiesel about fascism. And how mobs can rise up behind hysteria and propaganda.
chascates: The teabaggers know what fascism is - it’s anything that liberals support, like health care.
I’m sure the GOP will be falling all over themselves to apologize, given that the protesters never applied for a permit and didn’t need to, as the event was an OFFICIAL GOP PRESS CONFERENCE.
Purge this weasel feller too!!!!
We want Barabbas!!!
WarAndG: It’s also called Godwin’s Law
It states: “As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.” The term Godwin’s law can also refer to the tradition that whoever makes such a comparison is said to “lose” the debate.

smitallica: Which is sad, considering all those years he bugged people to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize (and eventually won).
onemoresexylibrarian: Well who wouldn’t? Sexy Librarian. HELLO!
I’ve just started finishing Idiocracy. Man, I don’t think it’s gonna take another 500 years to get that stupid.
You want to piss this guy off? Just say Barbara and Bernie Madoff, mazeltov.
bago: Only took 32 minutes. I considered and rejected that path. Took the high road, I did, otherwise known as YouWillGoHomeAloneTonigh Drive.
OMG Elie is bigoted against wingnuts too!
This news makes me wonder how Kurt Vonnegut would have reacted to these people, on Twitter.
binarian: dropped the “t”
Yeah, ok, have fun with that.
And we are to be surprised? From 9/12: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2475/3917089693_25313c3863.jpg
As Millbank, The Hill’s Jordan Fabian and others have noted, Eric Cantor stood at there on Nov. 5th while protesters raised signs suggesting that Obama “takes his orders from the Rothschilds”.
It is the teabagging 9/12 duty to oppose socialism of any kind, especially that commie pinko leftist national socialism stuff.
onemoresexylibrarian: I once met him and, upon learning that I am a librarian, he remarked that librarians are very important and then gawked at my boobs.
You must have some very attractive boobs.
Oy vey.
Shorter teabagger response: “Ahhhh, what do you know about the Holocaust, old-timer?”
Yet he has no problem associating with other anti-Semites:

Great Old Ones Party: Your link goes to a Wikipedia page with lots of Godwins on it. That’s good, because I liked “St. Godwin of Stavilot.” Just the name gave me images of dead parrots and taunting Frenchman.
In all seriousness, any time you try and make a political point using images of the Holocaust and draw the ire of Eli Wiesel, an angel loses a wing but gains an ass-kicking jet pack to come and beat the shit out of you.
Hooray For Anything: I sure wish Jeebus would get off his holy ass and come see what these people are doing in his name.
Elie Wiesel on Twitter. He used to live in Romania and ride a horse around.
S.Luggo: MMMmmm, Barry as a nice sweet chocolate bar.
Wait, what?
Gumboz1953: More proof that He doesn’t exist.
Or, Satan keeps him supplied with crack and meth and Jesus just doesn’t want to leave the house like he used to.
surfacenoise76:
Pastor Crazee is NOT an anti-Semite. As a Christian Zionist, Zionist Christian, or Christian Christian (but not a Zionist Zionist), Hagee preaches that only when the Jews reclaim all of Israel (including the West Bank and certain parts of Miami Beach) can there be the Second Coming of Christ.
Then on the glorious day of the Second Coming, all true Christians will rise to Heaven, leaving behind the Jews like so many empty Fresca cans chucked along the Jersey Turnpike … left behind with the camel jockeys, Buddha-heads and Unitarians …and, of course, teh Catholics. Hmmm … maybe some Lutherans could ascend. Just a tiny, tiny few.
Which leaves open the question: what was Elie thinking?

Suggestion to Holocaust Teabagger: Next time go with the bodies on the streets of Atlanta image from Gone with the Wind, maybe with “The Bill of Northern Agression.”
S.Luggo: I love how Zionist Christians beg not to be called anti-Semites. When you want the Jews to win a battle so that they can lose the war that’s something even worse than anti-Semitism. The Jews are nothing more than tools for these fools.
