I saw the same thing at a Queen concert. BTW, if you play 'Bohemian Rhapsody' backwards, you can hear Freddie saying "I am Horst Wessel."

The comparison, though tired, means nothing because history hasn’t been taught in 25 years.

Larry Tribe and Robert Reich are usually about tied with Fauxcahontas for the Harvard-affiliated douche of the year award. On a weekly basis, it is hard to edge out those perennial winners, the (no longer Royal) Douche and Douchesse of Sussex. Tough competition with whichever race baiting racist du jour is spewing hate over at MSNBC. But how big a douche is Keith Olbermann? Too douchey even for MSNBC's ultra-low standards. The U.S. always seems to have a substantial lead in producing douchebags. Until you consider Europe. The E.U. parliament is a douche gallery.

Get a room, you two.

The heil sign is the same as pointing a finger?

Liberals are stupid.

Leftists spend so much time "exposing" (manufacturing) nonexistent Nazism, racism & hate on the Right precisely because it's in such short supply and they can't keep the creaky old wheels of their 'Right Wing Hate Machine' narrative greased without it.

Meanwhile, we see a constant stream of REAL hate, racism & bigotry on the Left. It's far worse than any I've seen coming from conservatives in my lifetime and is getting worse and more deadly by the day.

This constant effort by the Left to gin up hysteria and anger among its constituency with lies parading as fact such as the photo and tweets so kindly provided by Ann today is so widespread that I'm thinking it would be worthy of an entire book from her. She could utilize her lawyerly precision in documenting events and providing footnotes and links as well as her engaging prose to create a truly damning portrait of mob control in modern times and how the Left (and perhaps also the Corporate 'Republicans'?) wield it. Her interest in mob psychology would, I believe, make this a project that she could happily embrace and it would be a poignant, captivating and timeless work for the ages.

My only request is that she might honor us with an audiobook version also, because she has a lovely speaking voice and her vocal inflections provide an added layer to punctuate her works.

Lawrence Tribe used to have a brain. At some point he drank the Kool Aid and his legal mind disintegrated into liberal mush. Sad!

All Communists are Fascists. All Socialists who vote for Communists are Fascists. Full Stop.

The underlying message is they hate us and want us to die. They want political power that much. They think we must be destroyed.

I can't decide who is the douchiest, Weissmann for the tired, phoning-it-in comparison, or Tribe for calling it 'courageous' and 'provocative.'

No, Weissmann wins for correcting Tribe--not courage duty. Yeah, Weissman gets the reach-around award.

Classic Ann: a bunch of brain-dead Trump supporters give him — a neo-Nazi fanboi — a Nazi salute and Ann pretends the problem is actually a couple of ivory-tower nerds making out over Twitter. She’s great at feeding your anger by deflecting attention away from actual problems and onto trivial who-gives-a-shit tangents. She’s a grifter posing as a thinker.

How is not anti-Semitic to say everything is “literally Hitler?”

If he tried a little harder, I think Laurence Tribe might be able to stick his head even further up Andrew Weissmsnn’s ass. Jesus H Christ, how bloody damn embarrassing. Did the ass clown forfeit his testicles before posting his shit tribute?

I guess I’m less exercised by what two self-congratulating Twitter twits say to each other than by an ex-President encouraging that salute and a bunch of people pretending they don’t think it’s ugly.

So brave to stand up to tyranny!
