Yesterday, we had Mongomery Public Schools blogger Not Jerry Weast invoking “Nazi brownshirt tactics” (THE BROWSKIRTS ARE COMING! School Sex Pushers Intimidate Petition Collectors), which Autumn wrote about earlier.

Today, we have an attorney (representing volunteers collecting signatures for Citizens for a Responsible Government’s referendum petition) alleging “intimidation tacics. Such tactics are commonly used by totalitarian [Nazi] governments” (Nearly 30,000 seek to turn off coed showers/County law gives special rights to those with ‘gender identity’ issues).

(By the way, I wonder how Dana Beyer feels about being compared to a Nazi?)

Now, here are a couple of examples of “Nazi tactics” that CRG should be familiar with …

From What Would Machiavelli Do? The Big Lie Lives On …

German filmmaker Fritz Kippler, one of Goebbels’ most effective propagandists, once said that two steps were necessary to promote a Big Lie so the majority of the people in a nation would believe it. The first was to reduce an issue to a simple black-and-white choice that “even the most feebleminded could understand.” The second was to repeat the oversimplification over and over. If these two steps were followed, people would always come to believe the Big Lie.

In Kippler’s day, the best example of his application of the principle was his 1940 movie “Campaign in Poland,” which argued that the Polish people were suffering under tyranny - a tyranny that would someday threaten Germany - and that the German people could either allow this cancer to fester, or preemptively “liberate” Poland. Hitler took the “strong and decisive” path, the movie suggested, to liberate Poland, even though after the invasion little evidence was found that Poland represented any threat whatsoever to the powerful German Reich. The movie was Hitler’s way of saying that invading Poland was the right thing to do, and that, in retrospect, he would have done it again.

And from The Gleiwitz incident …

False Flag Terrorism is an old and effective way to justify acts of aggression that would be hard to justify otherwise … Famous examples are the Berlin Reichstag fire in 1933 that gave Hitler reason to demand emergency powers and the completely phony attack on the Gleiwitz radio station used to justify Hitler’s invasion of Poland the following day. A corpse wearing a Polish uniform was arranged outside of a radio station in Silesia, anti-German messages were broadcast and the public told that Poland had attacked.

So, reducing the issue of transgender anti-discrimination legislation to pervs in the loo and co-ed showers (repeated again and again and again) and staging a Gleiwitz (Rio Health & Sports) — reminds you of whom now?
