Why are QFers so enamored of Godwinning themselves?

Having never heard of Godwin (look. Throb sheltered most are, esp. from secular internet memes), they think that by tarring their opponents with the worst thing possible makes them look better in comparison.

It takes serious insularity to not grasp how shallow and even anti-Semitic it makes them come across.

The U.S..and Nazi Germany eh?
Well… they’re both countries… both populated by people.. who drive automobiles.. including VWs…so yeah totally similar.. in the same way Obama and Hitler are the same because they’re both men who liked dogs.

Yeah no…

When Jim Bob says we, I am sure he means unmarried women and men. Us married women have laundry to do, diapers to change, and homeschooling lessons to teach. The only involvement we should have in politics is voting for the candidates of our husband choice. However, if we want to take the kids on a homeschooling field trip down to the local abortion clinic to hold a protest that’s fine as long as dinner is on the table when daddy gets home from work. (I am being sarcastic except for the abortion clinic homeschooling field trip part I actually know of groups that do that in Central Florida.)

The appropriation of the Holocaust by the Religious Right makes me sick to my stomach. And angry. Very.

Would it be possible to get a transcript on videos shared here in the future? Just asking because I’m having sound problems with my computer, but there are other reasons videos don’t work for everyone as well…

If this were like Nazi Germany, would Jim Bob even be able to make speeches like that?
Madame

I don’t hear him comparing the US to Nazi Germany, I hear him telling his friends not to just sit and watch when something bad is happening, but to do something about it. I don’t know what bad things he’s seeing, but as a rule, I agree with him. It’s our passivity that allows evil.
Suzanne Harper Titkemeyer

Theo, whenever possible that’s what I do. But there wasn’t for this bit and I’m working two jobs right now so I didn’t have the time to do a full transcript on this end.

BTW, I am going to a Ken Cucinelli political rally tomorrow morning featuring the Duggars. One of the signs I am bringing has to do with the Duggars using Nazis in their speeches. I seriously hope I am not arrested.
Theo Darling

It’s not a big deal, no worries.

I agree, Madame. I assume he’s talking about making abortion illegal, but “Why didn’t somebody do something?” can apply to many situations: drugs, crime, safety of our neighborhoods, education, etc.

That’s absolutely right, Edie. If President Obama was the dictator the far right makes him out to be, they would all have already been assassinated or shipped off to a political prison.
