Jew hating socialist compared to free-market advocating Jew

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

I had to grab this before it gets zotted.

Not only is it surprising for its ignorance-based viciousness it's surprising that so many DUmbasses heaped scorn on it so quickly.

You have the chance to kill Hitler or Milton Friedman before they rise to 
 prominence. Which one do you choose? Which one has done more damage to the world?

Hitler reaped death and destruction on all he encountered. He committed genocide on the Jewish people, gays and gypsies. He sought global domination under and iron fist. Many good people lost their lives fighting this tyrant


Friedman preached free markets and no oversight for big business. This has lead to supreme corporate power, unfettered greed by those in power, financial collapse and global warming denial because it is bad for big business.

If you could delete one from history, which one do you choose and why?

1. Hitler
 The damage and human suffering cause by Friedman isn't close to the damage of ww2

 If it hadn't been Friedman, the plutocrats would have found some other mouthpiece to do their bidding.

5. Oh, and you might actually try to read some Friedman, if you are able to read. nt
 Likewise, read Keynes. Might do you some good to read the sources.

Friedman preached NONE of those things.

Of course we all remember how rancid the DUmp was the day Friedman died.

IOW: it's against the rules to make them look stupidierish than they already are.

Why not just argue out *why* it's a stupid equivalency?

And with more people shouting it down than supporting it they could use the positive PR.

That was a "quickie".

Wow, nice find and grab MSB.

Quick as a bunny....grabbed and stored.  Nice work, and I gave you a little love pat.  I also shared this charming story.
