What a pathetic title. "Nazi" takes fewer letters than "Right-wing"; however, the AP thinks "Nazi" = "Right".

[doodad]

We got hit hard by this the past week.

Nazi is only "Right Wing" when compared to Communist (thus why the National Socialist party was branded 'right wing' when competing against the communist party of Germany in the 30s). They are still "Left Wing" in the greater political world..

Extreme Left = Total governmental control (Totalitarian Communist)
Extreme Right = 0 governmental control (anarchy)

The "balance" need to be redesignated to be bounded by Despotism (Communist, Fascist, etc.) and Democracy or even no government (the black shirted anarchists are really just socialists of another stripe).

America's Left and Right is not the same as Europe's. The media loves this characterization of the US left.

er, right.

They are both despots:

Amazing how the MSM won't use the term "terrorist" to describe Muslim fanatics who fly airliners into skyscrapers, but have no problem throwing the term "right-wing" around with orgiastic abandon.

Sorry, but this story headline is an outright lie. I'm a system admin for a very large email domain and this is LEFT wing, anti-US propaganda that it's been spewing out - exactly the sort of thing you'd hear from ANSWER, or from a Chinese Communist.

Dolly, take a look at this thread. Could be the answer to the German Spam!!

[sine_nomine]

The early Nazis demonstrated with the Communists in Germany. They only disliked the Commies because they were competition. If one socialist kills another, is the first one a right wing socialist?

This is an old propaganda trick, to treat Nazis as right wing.

I've getting these messages for several days.

Extreme Left = Total governmental control (Totalitarian Communist) Extreme Right = 0 governmental control (anarchy)

YES!

[conservativecorner]

It's probably just coincidence. HEAVY FRIGGIN' SARCASM!!

[maggief]

Me too!

I spent the day updating my anti-virus and firewall software. I hope it's enough.

Ping.

...more on antisemitism in Germany. And BTW, the first of the two following posts contain great comparisons between "left" and "right" (when only regarding extremes between socialists) on this issue. Socialist policies are most certainly necessary in any government to continue antisemitic policies.
