Who likes me in this room?” the Republican presidential candidate asked a large crowd Saturday in Orlando, Florida. “Raise your right hand: ‘I do solemnly swear that I — no matter how I feel, no matter what the conditions, if there’s hurricanes or whatever — will vote, on or before the 12th for Donald J. Trump for president.'” (Trump misstated the date of the Florida primary, which will be held on March 15.) As the audience enthusiastically complied with his request, the candidate told them: “Don’t forget you all raised your hands. You swore. Bad things happen if you don’t live up to what you just did.” For Foxman, who was born in Poland in 1940 and was saved from the Nazis by his Catholic nanny, watching Trump whip up his supporters in this fashion was extremely disturbing. “As a Jew who survived the Holocaust, to see an audience of thousands of people raising their hands in what looks like the ‘Heil Hitler’ salute is about as offensive, obnoxious and disgusting as anything I thought I would ever witness in the United States of America,” he told The Times of Israel. Well that's just stupid because people do the same thing everyday in court. The Nazi salute is with the hand forward pointing toward "the fuhrer". |

Gee, when I was in grade school you had to raise your hand to answer a question or ask a question. I never knew that was fascist... We swear witnesses in trials by asking them to raise their right hand. I never knew that was fascist... Etc., etc., etc. "Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell, where they already have it."

Mountains out of mole hills, that's what they are good at. Then throws in holocaust survivor, attention seeking bullshit. 72 million people died, stop elevating your kind to be better than the rest of the people in the world. |
