Mitt Romney Reminds me of a Nazi
Not the rabble rousing and/or fighting in the streets manifestation. Nor am I saying that as hyperbole either or Godwins law. I am honestly and sincerely saying that he reminds me of an educated Nazi in the mold of an Adolph Eichman during the third reich. Someone who could cold heartedly and methodically write laws and policies for exterminating an entire race of people with nary a second thought, and with a clear conscious. The same type who could run a death camp then go home to their own family and talk to them about values (remember Romney is/was a high ranking Bishop) and be a quote on quote "family man."

20. Trust me that is the word you are looking for
Speaking both as a historian, and also as a child of a holocaust survivor.
Fascism took different forms. The Nazis were just more ruthless in some respects, but the word you are looking if fascist.
Willard Mitt Romney is a fascist... and a plutocrat...
Telling me that he would be a camp commandant... sorry if I will not go there with you.
Words matter.
by the way, a few other fascists, Franco, Pinochet, the whole Argentinian Junta...

29. Historian as well
in an informal sense, and working on a PhD in a different field. So I respect your creditials and we are simply talking semantics in regards to tomatoe and tomaaaatoe (whichever spelling it usually goes). Nazi's were obviously facists, and so where the others you mentioned, but there was only one final solution/Holocaust, and to the level it existed, so that is why despite being Fascists, the Nazi's went beyond that. We can agree to disagree, I just feel that Romney reminds me more of Adolph Eichman than he does Augosto Pinochet or Franscisco Franco. But we can move on..
I am very sorry to hear that your parents had to expeirence that, I can not imagine how that must have been for them to endure that, then to try and build their lives after losing so much of their spirit, loved ones, the pyschological burden of asking "why?".
It is hard to believe that human beings could do some of the things that they/we do to other human beings.

30. Well genocides are not exclusively nazis
the Guatemalan Junta practiced it, just ask the Maya (some of the folks I debriefed as an 18 year old Red Cross worker, I could be hearing stories from Dad in another language, that is all)
In fact, as bad as the Holocaust was, it was not the only genocide of the 20th century.
Never again in my mind means also waking up to that disturbing reality, genocides are not that rare.

Mitt Romney Reminds me of a Nazi
So far , the only person that I have seen siding with anyone wanting to exterminate a race, is Obama. He sides with the Muslims against Israel every single time. The Muslims want the Jews gone and Obama seems determined to let them make it happen.Yep. The worst things Romney's ever done was take his dog on vacation and admit that some people will always vote Dim. ::)
Wow. Didn't see that coming. ::)

Uh, the oblate spheroid is not a "child of a holocaust survivor."Well, now, most all of us are either the children or grandchildren of holocaust survivors.
Sorry to nitpick, nadin, but you'rer asking for it.
