Reply #74: Is it a parallel or the use of their tactics? [View All]

It has appeared to me that Republicans have only adopted the Nazi's tactics and that is the extent of the similarity. The Republicans are only following the strategy that was inaugurated by Reagan when he played to the racists with his condemnation of welfare queens driving Cadillacs. He created a scapegoat to blame for many whites' failure to succeed just as Hitler did with the Jews. Religious leaders have employed these tactics throughout time such as are now being used to blame homosexuals for the imagined breakdown of families and morality. The Jews have been the Christian's favorite scapegoat for centuries and are being used again by the Catholic Church in an attempt to divert criticism of the pope. These tactics can suddenly backfire when the leadership is exposed as being immoral thugs as did happen with the KKK.
