There are apparently no limits regarding the left's unhinged hatred toward Sarah Palin.
Joan Rivers joined the ranks of those afflicted with what is now called "Palin Derangement Syndrome" when she called Sarah Palin a Nazi while speaking with Joy Behar.
Rivers was mad because her appearance on a Fox News program was canceled, and claimed it was because she said, “I don’t think Sarah Palin is very smart.”

Joan gives that term an entirely new meaning... by putting a 'literal' application to that term.
that must have been quite a trick on the part of Fox News. Considering that her husband died in 1987 and Fox news was created in 1996.
This is the kind of thing I have been thinking and I am trying to dig deeper into.
I know, for example, that the Weimar Republic was a communist move in Germany and I believe the Nazis sweeping in later was a reaction to that, but I have a hard time figuring out what the differences in outlook were and where they came from.
I need to read more on the topic.
Actually, the Weimar Republic was an attempt at a democratic republic that was destine to fail due to economic situations and they tried to fix it via printing currency (what does that sound like?)
That was what the Nazis said.
I need to read more on the topic.
Please do.
Why not elaborate?

Edgar was a producer of a show Joan had on Fox -- not Fox News. He was fired and committed suicide a few months later. I don't know what she may have claimed, but she might have seen some connection there. She has appeared on Fox and Friends, though, at least before her remarks about Sarah Palin and a recent cancellation by the show.
If Sarah Palin were a Nazi, Andrew Sullivan would have met his own personal Night of the Long Knives a couple of years ago, I guaranbleepingtee you that.
I had thought it was communist-oriented as a result of the Treaty of Versailles hitting too hard on Germany...an attempt to keep the monarchists at bay by raising up communist-minded leaders.
Thanks for the feedback. My knowledge of the WWI era and post-WWI is very lacking. It seems that WWII material dominates the airwaves and other media and WWI-era stuff pales in comparison. And the depression-era material is heavily dominated by the left who continually champion Roosevelt and his policies so I don't think they can be trusted regarding German politics. Can you recommend any good books on the topic?
It's true, I'm going by internet gossip from wikipedidia, but it's not always wrong.
“Sarah’s Jewish ancestry and the Israeli flag she always kept on her desk as governor were dead giveaways.”

I wasn’t aware that Sarah Palin was of Jewish ancestry. What’s your source? According to mine, she is descended from folks who came to America on the Mayflower:

I always thought Joan was actually a Republican, of course that doesn’t mean she’s a conservative.
I may have to dig as it’s from recollection. The flag and her obvious devotion to Israel are well known. This is speaking as someone with a bit of Mitzvah a few generations back myself (mother’s side).
I guess I can fall back on her kids being part Native like me and mine, and that anyone who would call her a Nazi has no idea what the word means.
yep we do have plenty of beauties with brains in our outfit....michelle malkin, laura ingraham, michele backman just to name a few....more
Some people have said that Germany (and Europe) would have been better off if Germans had been allowed to keep their monarchy. It's certainly possible -- no Hitler in power, maybe no WWII, no Soviets in Berlin -- but it's also true that most of the Weimar Republic's enemies ended up supporting the Nazis (or the Communists or both). For every die-hard monarchist or aristocrat who opposed Hitler, there was at least one who supported him.
Some people call the Weimar Republic Marxist because there had been Social Democrats in the government. Sure, but not every government was Social Democrat. Most weren't and those that had socialists in them were most often coalitions with middle class, middle-of-the-road parties. And those Social Democrats weren't Communists or Marxists. They'd formed the government that defeated the 1919 Communist Revolution.
People like to view politics as composed of two sides with opposite principles -- natural and eternal enemies. In interwar Germany, you had two rival camps -- Nazis and Communists -- bent on each other's destruction and the destruction of any political or social forces in between the two hostile factions. Anybody who believed in freedom and constitutional government was in the middle and better off with the civil liberties and representative government that Weimar offered than with either the Communists or the Nazis. To attack the Weimar Republic as Marxist is to do what the Nazis did.
