The Tea Party -- A Nazi Party in search of a Reichstag Fire?
   
I'm really having a hard time convincing myself that the sky is not falling with the election of Tea Party candidates to the U.S. Congress.

Opinions, please -- is the Tea Party a true fascist movement that ultimately seeks total control of society and to crush its political opposition and those it deems "unfit" through violent repression if given the opportunity?

To me, if feels like what I imagine Germany was like in 1932. And, I believe they are just looking for any excuse to ignore, supersede, or suspend both our laws and our society's morals and begin to act in an oppressive and violent manner. Once the genie is out of the bottle, I believe this will quickly spiral beyond the point of no return. That trigger event could be almost anything -- another 9/11 type terrorist attack, an assassination, civil unrest, whatever would make a good excuse.

One key reason I believe this is that, unlike fringe movements of the recent past, these people now have the legitimacy of election as well as the support of reasonably large numbers of society's elites, especially business elites like the Koch brothers.

I also believe that much of the Tea Party's supposed "inclusion" of certain minority members is just for show -- once in power, I believe that this movement will quickly "purge" those who do not fit the "ideal" which, IMO, is limited to white evangelicals.

Opinions, opinions, opinions. Even if you want to tell me this is the dumbest thing you've ever read and I better get myself to the shrink for some meds ASAP. I would like to know what people REALLY think about this. I see signs all over that leads me to feel that this is the path this country is following, signs such as the intense hatred of Muslims and immigrants.

1. They are not a true fascist movement but they are easily....
   
manipulated. All they would need is a true fascist leader.

True Fascism was against the classic liberalism that is the heart of the conservative movement. Fascists see themselves as a third way between Capitalism and Communism. Under Fascism, the government controls the economy with an iron fist and producers and property owners who do not act in the interest of the state are persecuted.

4. It looks a lot like a fascist movement to me. They have leaders in the front of media
   
-Palin. Beck, Hannity and a large commuication channel (Fox). Taking advantage of a poor ecomomic environment with ant-government rhetoric.

They exhibit all the things that make up a fascist movement, nationalism, patriotism, fundamentalist religion, hate for minorities (black, any other race than white, gay people, even the disabled), any religion that is not Christian, and disdain for educated people ("intellectuals).

8. 911 still scares the **** out of me
   
not because of oh noes, Muslim witches!, but because it truly shows what a corrupt govt is capable of doing in a time of panic. If anything I'd say Bush's regime was closer to Nazis than the TEA party will ever be. It takes some true Elites to pull off something like 911.

9. "Pull off 9/11..."?
   
This is only my third day at DU so forgive me for being a bit slow on the uptake... Are you suggesting that Bush and Cheney and Co. engineered the attacks on 9/11?

10. Not necessarily, but it and the Reichstag fire were used
   
to justify policies. Get the nation in a panic and willing to have the Patriot Act. Remember it contained many provisions politically impossible before. Bushco didn't have to cause it for that. Once is happened, they used it diligently.

Though there is IIRR some information that Hitler may have caused the Reichstag fire. In order to have something to use. Out of which is born the idea 911 was something Bushco caused, because they used it to such advantage.

12. Oh boy....
   
I'll answer and hope you get to see my result because it will be moved or deleted asap. There's a sizeable contingent of DUers who believe that 9/11 was either a case of MIHOP (made it happen on purpose) or LIHOP (let it happen on purpose).

Both theories are verboten to be discussed on DU since it's considered a conspiracy theory.

But virtually everyone has a position either as a MIHOPper, or a LIHOPper.... Not too many here believe it was simply a random terrorist attack unforeseen and unknown before it happened.

16. Holy crap! Well, if that's really true...
   
-- then that is maybe the scariest ****ing thing I've ever heard in my life. (And I thought the gov't killing JFK was bad!)

I am practically speechless here. Good thing my keypad is working (LOL!)

Okay, well, first of all...who engineered the attack? Dubya? That creepizoid Dick Cheney? Both of them? Were the explosives already in the towers? And who, exactly, was flying those airplanes?

And just as importantly (and please forgive my ignorance here, Storm): Why would Osama Bin Ladin claim responsibility for something carried out by the U.S?

Forget JFK, Oliver Stone needs to make a movie about 9/11. (Oh, that's right, he already did -- sort of -- but it was crappy, gov't approved propoganda)

This shit is WILD, homes!

15. I agree....
   
....the Tea Party is a group of well-funded right-wing thugs, created for and ultimately serving the extreme corporate interest....their appearance on the American political stage burst from nowhere, championed by the media corporations for the benefit of the united corporate political agenda....

....if they should ever come to power in a big way, death camps would not be out of the question....

18. Yes, there is a fascist movement backed by big money
   
in the US right now. They do not accept election results when they lose. They will not try to govern but spend their time trying to destroy the other party. They use intimidation and eliminationist speech. They try to shut down free speech from others and sometimes are successful. I was thinking about it tonight when I learned my sister-in-law that works at a Women's Health Center said they received a bomb threat today and an arrest was made (the perpetrator got into the building and accessed the kitchen or break are refrigerator). They are classic fascists.

19. Koch funded...but it is the GOPs/T-baggers ... and pushing violence
   
which gives a great connection to the Brown Shirts --

Just as we have had the GOPs/Christian Coalition --

GOP gave start up funding for it in the 1980's. Richard Scaife financed Dobson's

org -- and other wealthy right wingers financed Bauer's org.

And, GOPs/NRA -- this is an entirely different NRA than what used to exist -- ask

Michael Moore. And it was used to create an issue to target moderate and liberal

Democrats -- succeeded quite well.

After the death of Wm. Buckley/CIA we also found out that CIA had been funding right

wing politicians and their campaigns -- Sen. Strom Thurmond and Rep. Gerry Brown --

but there were others whose names haven't been revealed as yet.

Keep in mind the CIA took money from any right wing source -- including Nazis and KKK.

Jesse Helms got money from the CIA -- so did Pat buchanan.

GOP/"pro-lifers" -- I've heard that many of the demonstrators outside women's health

clinics were hired from Methadone clinics -- paid to demonstrate -- !!

The right wing can only rise via violence -- stolen elections -- and lies.

We've had more than 50+ years of in plein air right wing violence -- not only did it

knock out existing liberal leadership -- but it knocked out liberal leadership before

it got a chance to rise!


Presumably people are still sitting in front of their TV's waiting for the TV anchor

to let them know if anything is wrong!!!

Reichstag fire ?  You mean like dem operatives vandalizing dem offices? You mean like blacks hanging nooses and then blaming whites? You mean like dem operatives going to conservative rallies and pretending to be racist conservatives?  That last one doesn't take much acting, since the left are becoming renown as being the true racists.

22. Unfortunately, "thinking they never will have power" isn't good enough.
   
I can hope for a unicorn that shits gold but that won't help either.

The Tea baggers have major media, major money, major celebrities and just scored some major electoral victories with shockingly bad ideas. Their "storm troopers" have stomped, hurled and heaved a fair number of civic minded Americans to the ground with impunity. Combine this with Citizens United and I'm really concerned.

I am pretty sure that the DUchebags do not know either the meaning of fascist or NAZI.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I'm not so sure he really did strike a lasting chord with Oklahoma, except in the eyes of those who were already enthralled with him to the point of softballing all his interviews, like Dan Rather, Whore-aldo, and everyone at NBC.  While everyone justly hated McVeigh, the fact the entire thing was indirectly brought about by Clinton and Reno policies resulting in the Waco massacre was not lost on people, especially after it was established pretty early on that there was no substantial continuing threat.  The booming economy, between the dot-coms and the peace dividend, combined with a heavy dose of triangulation, were what made him popular, combined of course with his congenial-if-sociopathic facility for lying to anyone about anything. 

In Obie's case, it's inevitable that the economy will cyclically recover to some degree in the next two years, despite his best efforts to f*ck it up worse.  He'll benefit to some degree from that, but so will the GOP image since it will coincide with the power shift in Congress.  The two effects will largely cancel each other out if economic recovery is lukewarm-to-modest, it would take runaway boom times over a year to 18 months of that for Obama to get a disproportionate benefit from it.

I heard today that, when told of the House Republican efforts to not fund Obamacare, that HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said that they have enough money in the HHS budget to be able to continue implementation anyway.  So, the economy will get worse.

No. They do not even know what Nazi is an abbreviation of, or how the state controlled the people in Germany and Italy at the time. The fact that they would call a constitutionalist movement Fascist just shows that tossing the word around as an insult is even more worthless than playing the race card.
