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."

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.

The heil sign is the same as pointing a finger?

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.

Astute observations.

For decades the left has been nurturing the roots of a far-right reaction in this country just as the communists with their lies and violence became the fertilizer for the Nazi Party in post WWI Germany.

When schools stop teaching critical thought and basic civics in their mission to brain wash students/zombies with lunatic dogma; when our melting-pot culture is transformed by the left into balkanized city-states of identity group separatism; when law ceases to be enforced and selectively applied; when left-wing anarchy reins in the streets with political support; when Conservative protesters are denied their Constitutional rights and murdered by Statist police without consequence; when a country's economy is destroyed by political corrupt incompetence and when the middle-class of a nation has been destroyed and left hopeless and disparaged for being trying to prevent national carnage, then...

A fertile field has been created for an equal but opposite reaction as the Nazi's met Communist violence with greater violence as their weak-kneed national government meandered rudderless.

The left knows this is coming and is trying to avoid it by castrating its opposition in the same manner that any totalitarian regime operates (see North Korea, China, Cuba. etc.).

The left expects to march into the arms of America similarly to Hitler marching into the Sudetenland...welcomed by the grateful masses bathing them in flowers.

Fact-->The pendulum will not swing in only one direction...nobody is more powerful than the laws of nature...without an enlightened public, extreme lunacy to the left will be met by an equal but opposite reaction.

Thank you to the culture makers. educators and open border intelligentsia who have turned thought into dogma, a stable culture into the Balkans and a Nation into warring city-states.

Please tell me it's time for a cocktail.

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.

Expand full comment

so what I'm hearing is that you really, Really, REALLY wish that was an actual Nazi salute?

got it.

Expand full comment

No, douchebag. I wish it wasn’t.

Actually, let me add something to this. We saw Trump kiss around with neo-Nazis for years. He’ll take fans any way he can get them (he’s morally slutty that way). Don’t pretend you don’t remember that. Also don’t pretend there aren’t 5 million other salutes his bootlicking fans could choose besides that one. So quit trying to bullshit me. Cuz you see, 7 million people just like me got slaughtered 80 years ago by people making a salute just like that to a mentally ill piece of shit just like Trump. So take your smug blame-shifting elsewhere.
