Sadly it's a
deeper problem
than I realized.
Quote:
A recent case-in-point: two Republicans in Asheville, North Carolina
recently compared
the flying of the gay-rights rainbow flag at the city hall to Nazism. Former city councilman Carl Mumpower
didn’t mince words
when he stated that, “I am equating their methods with the Nazi movement…They are indifferent to the rule of law and indifferent to the vote of the people. And that’s Adolf Hitler all over again in a different disguise.”
Mumpower’s equating of gay rights to Nazism is particularly galling since the Third Reich actively persecuted homosexuals in Germany. But not only is his statement galling, it’s also
monumentally
hypocritical.
As the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum notes
, “The Nazis posed as moral crusaders who wanted to stamp out the ‘vice’ of homosexuality from Germany in order to help win the racial struggle.”
You got that? A pair of North Carolina Republicans, who fancy themselves moral crusaders in the fight to uphold “traditional marriage,” are accusing their opponents of being Nazis — the very-same Nazis who positioned themselves as moral crusaders against the so-called threat of homosexual influence in Germany. Pot, meet every single kettle EVER MADE.
A sign paid for by an Iowa Tea Party group.
