On Friday night’s episode of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” in a discussion about the Tea Party’s pushback against last Tuesday’s Mississippi Republican primary runoff between State Sen. Chris McDaniel and incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS), Max Brooks, author of the bestsellers The Zombie Survival Guide, World War Z, made a comparison between the Tea Party and the early origins of the Nazis movement in post-World War I Germany.
According to Brooks, who is the son of filmmaker Mel Brooks and actress Anne Bancroft, there are similarities to be drawn between the modern American Tea Party movement and the Nazi movement because he says they both cling to ideology.
“You know this has happened before in history,” Brooks explained. “In Germany in the 20s and 30s, there was this right-wing reactionary element that was so terrified of anarchy and communism that they said, ‘You know what? There’s a group of street thugs that are real ideologues and they’re willing to take it and they’re willing to bloody themselves, and, you know, once they get into power, we can control them.’ And that was why they backed it – we can control this.”(continued)

They are the Nazis. If they could get away with it, they’d kill every one of us or at least load us in boxcars for the camps. We, on the other hand, are content to leave them playing with their toys in the corner. We do not wish them dead.
Is this the [Revisionist] History of the World Part II we all were promised? What happened to Hilter on Ice and Jews in Space?
It constantly amazes me how these fools turn what they actually do to the other side.
One of the lessons that I’ve learned in life is that when someone in a “discussion” calls their opposition racist, Nazi or fascist and you look at them then your usually looking at the racist, Nazi or fascist in the discussion. And they are throwing those words around in an attempt to end the talk because they are afraid that they will be revealed for what they are.
So I take it everything he knows about the Tea Party he learned from MSNBC.
Godwin’s law. You lose!
Max Brooks has all the stupidity of the Hollywood ideological zeitgeist steeped in the cesspool of situational ethics and Marxism.
Graphic novelist? Isn't that what we used to call a cartoonist? FOAD Brooks!
It is a big lie that many have bought wholeheartedly, however. Thank a teacher.
Yeah, the Nazis were all about limited government.
Thankfully if you read the whole exchange it turns out that he was countered pretty well by a conservative on the show.
Boy the DemonRts are reaching aren’t they? Just outright lying now...
It would but I think the current deomcrats are probably closer to fascism.

Well, they ARE using Fascist methods to achieve their ultimate goals.
Unfortunately, the Marxist media and Marxist education, have done quite a number on the American people.
Yeah !!
He had a son
Who was the epitome of everything he stood against ( ie: stereotypes ,sardonic humor, etc. )
Too bad the kid is such an A$$ , ... and Mel had already run out of Preparation H

Thou shalt reinforce stereotyped views of enemy leaders as too evil to warrant genuine attempts to negotiate, or as too weak and stupid to counter whatever risky attempts are made to defeat their purpose
I would say “Godwin’s Law” is in full effect here. Just go back to the comic pages, Max.
It would be terrible if people like that got in power and started abusing the system by intimidating the media into not running stories, instituted wholesale spying on Americans, and used the IRS as a political weapon. Oh... wait.
Projection, libs just can’t help themselves.
Classic leftist doublethink: “Those evil conservative Nazi Tea Party bastards want a government that controls every aspect of our lives. They’re anarchists who don’t believe in any government at all and need to be stopped.”
I have heard both claims from prominent leftist politicians in the last two years.
