Dear Erick Erickson. WTF?????????????
(Note: Though I direct my ire at RedState founder and CNN analyst Erick Erickson, the RedState piece quoted was not written by Erick but by another user on his site. I just wanted to clarify that as it seems I did not make that clear. My apologies)
Occupy Wall Street
Should I be fearful of Occupy Wall Street? Maybe, maybe not.
Still, the anti-Semitic and socialist fever of the Occupy Wall Street movement fills me with sense of dread. I hate to invoke Godwin’s Law already, but isn’t this how Nazi Germany started?
Think about it. First you have an economic crisis (Great Depression/Great Recession), then you find and demonize a scapegoat (Jews/Rich People), and finally then you bring down the current system with violent means (Reichstagsbrand/Occupy Wall Street?*). The American Nazi Party declared its full support for Occupy Wall Street. They must see something we don’t. So while we could easily dismissed Occupy Wall Street as a movement, we really shouldn’t. Nor should we be sympathetic with them at any level.
I hope I am wrong. I hope Occupy Wall Street fizzles out this winter. Still, I personally regret that I cannot afford a gun right now. They are not that far away from me and thus I am not beyond being effected. I do not wish to go out and kill anyone, but only to protect myself and those around me.

Oh, well at least he doesn't wish to go out and kill anyone. That makes me feel better. I guess the gun he longs for is for just in case killing people becomes a necessity, just in case someone or something forces his hand.
Also, Hitler
And as a JEW, I find it laughable, just laughable that these guys on the right think that waving guns around make things better no matter what. Dealing with these gun-clinging conspiracy theorists And the Jew/Rich guy comparison? Puh-leeze! Oh, those poor victimized millionaires! Whatever shall they do now that protesters are saying mean things about them!
Seriously, on what planet do these clowns spend most of their time?
My sentiments exactly. Oy vey!
Not much else to say about this
