let’s take a look at the how the Nazis have evolved over the last few months in conservatardia.

A few months ago: Liberal Fascism Hitler was a man of the left. Ipso Fasto.

Later: Buchenwald was a holiday in the sun because it wasn’t Auschwitz like that Obama said. And it was only a “work” camp were a trifle 65K were killed. Slave labor is labor right? And what’s with the black guy having a white granddad?

And more: Plus, Nazis were barely anti-gay at all from a homicidal standpoint. Modern Germans are so PC.

Of course: And so what if Prescott Bush helped out those lefties in the Reichstag? Was there a law against it or something.

But then: Appeasement? You mean like Obama? I don’t know what it is, but if it’s pro-diplomacy, it’s Obama doing it! Except if it’s war profiteering. Then its capitalism. But of course, the Nazis were left-wingers.

Now: Hitler (despite not being in power and serving time in jail during the time frame this thinker cites) had a smart, far-sighted energy policy.

And: What we need is a dictator to help us overcome the threat terrorists pose to our liberties (Mike “Moses Wine is my Co-Pilot” Leeden in todays Wall St. Journal).

If you pointed out the obvious–that (aside from the likes of Ernst Roehm, of course) gays and lesbians in Nazi Germany avoided the camps by staying in the closet, then you might expect Medved to say, “Well, of course the Third Reich had its bad points, but then they did cure teh ghey, so…”

In 2002 the German government formally pardoned homosexuals imprisoned by the Nazis.

Pardoned? for being members of an “anti-social” group?

My dots do not connect.

Soon we’ll get the “You know, there are worse ways to die than being gassed… Like, um, using the bathroom after Michael Moore did. Because he’s fat! LOL! Zing! Boo-yah!”

What the hell is it with these conservatives suddenly going on about how the concentration camps really weren’t all that bad? I know they’ve probably thought for a while that the survivors were just playing the Holocaust victim card, but why are they all out in the open about it now? Do they really think the public is going to go with them on that one, or are they just really, really desperate?

This is all very interesting, but what’s the over/under for how many months until Medved is caught smoking some guy’s joint in a public restroom or park? I wanna get a bet down before the line starts moving.

Seriously folks, after the last couple of years, I automatically assume that if a conservative is writing about teh gay—he’s copping someone’s bone. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)

only “an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 gay men deported to concentration camps”–and by no means all of them were killed.

…Just the ones who complained about the abysmal state of interior decor at the camps.

Medved is one of those people who almost makes me want to apologize for being Jewish.

Every time I think that clown has sunk as low as he can go, he manages to find that “down” button on the elevator wall.
