Howard Govt. (Australia) - watch out for the Greens - they're NAZIS !!! [View All]

No folks, I'm not kidding. Via one of his senior senators, John Howard's 'Liberal Party' government is trying to assert that the Greens are Hitler-inspired fascists.

You'll be hearing more of this bizarre argument over the coming weeks, but even Murdoch's papers can't believe what they're hearing:

The commonalities between contemporary green politics and old-fashioned fascism and Nazism are chilling.


Or so said Senator George Brandis this week.

The Liberal was tearing into Green Senators Bob Brown and Kerry Nettle over their behaviour during George W. Bush's visit. While their behaviour was bad, Brandis's speech was worse.


It is time people in public life stopped introducing the poisonous memory of Nazis and the Holocaust into Australian political disputes.


According to Brandis, contemporary green politics have the same source as Nazism.


He accused Bob Brown of zealotry, fundamentalism, contempt for political institutions – which he apparently wishes to destroy – eco-fascism and militant racist nationalism.


He accused the Greens of being a sinister force with an absolute indifference to the truth and a belief system both anti-semitic and pathological.


He concluded by saying: "This is the kind of crypto-fascist politics we do not want in this country".


What nonsense. In the past it has been mainly the Left which has abused the memory of the Holocaust in this way.
