Republican Invokes Holocaust After DirecTV Drops Newsmax

Newsmax raised it's price, DTV decided they didn't want to pay their asking price for that garbage. The market has spoken.

Why do Republicants hate Capitalism?

Only in a world where school children are not exposed to history books about the Holocaust could the loss of a phony news cable channel be considered a massive tragedy...

Today's Conservative Americans love Hitler and his war against immigrants and non Christian whites.

No, this is the cost of politics only attracting people of little to no character willing to shamelessly lie and distort for air time and a bump with the base, with the interaction with the base being a self-feeding cycle of every more radical and ridiculous claims and concocted victim complexes.

Republican politicians would be saying these ridiculous offensive things unless there was a large stupid GOP base eager to suck it all in. We see that even here on the DR on a daily basis.

Ah, the ongoing/constant----------- of lies, obfuscations, disinfo actually has a price.

"Waah! We need more anger propaganda to make people martyrs." Religious people cry the most because they have no logic. They hope a sky daddy can help them. This is what religion does: it makes you helpless.

Boy oh boy comrades! Have you so soon forgotten your own Holocaust in the USA? Have you forgotten the A-bomb tests out west that dropped radioactive fallout over the central and eastern parts of the USA? You could pick up a leaf off the ground and see it light up like a Christmas tree on photographic film. How many of your relatives died from cancer caused by the A-bombs and H-bombs developed by your Hebrew scientists like Teller?

To Danforth! Nothing Anti-Semitic about my posts. It's only Anti-Semitic if you think it's Anti-Semitic. I'm just repeating what is in your own history and text books. Yes comrade! It's no big secret. Also see who takes the credit?

"It's only Anti-Semitic if you think it's Anti-Semitic."

No, dumfuq, singling out "HEBREW (fill in the blank)" in a purposely negative connotation is the DEFINITION.

"I'm just repeating what is in your own history and text books."

You're using the supremacists' code word for Jew. Your Russian-to-English translator must be rusting out.

They guys who discovered it? Fine by me. You sound like you're full of jealousy and sour grapes.

BTW, since your translator won't understand the meaning of "sour grapes", it means YOU'RE CRYING LIKE A BABY, BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO STUPID TO ACHIEVE ANYTHING WORTHY OF CREDIT.
