They have the same number of eyes, don't forget. That comparison is just about as valid as the rest of the "comparisons".

There was an explosion of indignation on here when I used the term "red Nazis" to describe some old school Labourites, a term that had been used widely in the press. Those same people think this is a fair comparison though.

Adam made this thread only pointing out similarities of style and rhetoric.
Which a fair few have overall agreed with,myself included and I do think raised a valid issue as to these 2 men coming to near absolute power.

Since you raise it, your red nazi comment was directed at a whole body of people on a particular side of politics you have no time for.

This is merely a thread highlighting the similarities of divisiveness and confrontational style of just these 2 men as seen by threadmaker and his OP.
He is not saying all Republicans or those who vote for him are tarred with the same brush.
As you did when you termed 'those on the left', not a few,not some but 'those on the left',as being red Nazis.

Lol at the total hypocrisy on this thread. With regard to your last sentence what is the difference between those on the right being called bigots and racists by many on here but if someone makes a passing comment about those on the left that they find offensive there is an apparent meltdown.

Talk about dishing it out but not being able to take it.. Not you personally but I don' see you being so shocked or complaining about that.

Actually I do complain about it.
I have never ever supported any calling of the right racists.

Also too particularly when Nigel Farage and indeed others in UKIP are called racist I dispute that too and always have during my over 6 years on here.
Which I think most on here know that too.

So perhaps try to make sure if possible your facts are right before you nitpick at people.

Livia did not mean her statement the way it seemed and she is also someone who guided me not to jump in and generalise on here when I joined at 18.
I have endeavoured to follow that good advice ever since.

It "looked a bit like a nazi salute"? You only posted it because it looked like a nazi salute! I did ask for it to be removed and when it was it was over for me. You're the one who has brought it up all this time later. Provocative.

I did yes, however it was just an innocent wave and my sig innocent satire, you chose to take offence to it...ergo I'm raising it to highlight your double standard here.

Well, you are the expert when it comes to double standards, I'll give you that.


The fact is that Trump is nothing like Hitler. Cameron was nothing like Hitler. Only Hitler was like Hitler.

I won't ask for an example to that knee jerk reaction.

You forgot that socialists are nothing like nazis.... you could edit and add it?
Actually don't bother, I'll just take it as red that's what you meant.
