RINO ALERT! Morella attacks flier parody of Democrats Frosh, Van Hollen, Kennedy Shriver as Nazi SS

Congresswoman Morella, Tyranny Response Team ^ | March 18, 2002 | Tyranny Response Team

[Hail Caesar]

First, some relevant facts:

1. Mr. Alzona submitted this controversial flier, solely as testimony on behalf of the Maryland Tyranny Response Team, directly to members of both the Maryland Senate and House Judiciary Committees during last week's hearings. This flier was submitted in OPPOSITION to a NAZI-like gun control bill that called for the photographing, fingerprinting, numbering and registration of all Maryland gun owners.

2. Montgomery Democrat leaders, Senators Frosh and Van Hollen, plus Delegate Mark Kennedy Shriver, were the lead sponsors of their proposed final solution to the problem of "gun violence" allegedly afflicting Maryland's children.

3. The multi-million dollar Kennedy Shriver campaign has enlisted the help of RINO congresswoman Morella to eliminate a leading Maryland spokesman for gun rights and the U.S. Constitution.

[Hail Caesar]

TRT BANG!

[Hail Caesar]

TRT bump!

[cogitator]

Has Godwin's Rule been invoked?

[rhombus]

Call it Art

[Hail Caesar]

methinks so.

[Agent Smith]

It looks like "art" and free speech to me.

What are we doing about the greenhouse gas emissions from Morella?

The icecaps are melting! Think of the children!

[backhoe]

Well naturally, my first thought is, "if the shoe fits, wear it...."

And the aggrieved howling from the other side indicates this may have hit a nerve. You do have to be careful with the "Nazi" tag, however- it's been so overused by the Left that whatever shock value it had has been diluted. JMO....

[RFP]

Well, it's a good "ice-breaker" attention-getter to the gun owners in her district. Hope this tactic works.

Molon Labe TRT BTTT!

[Sci Fi Guy]

You do realize that this flyer only makes the TRT look bad. It won't change any voter's opinion, but will be used by the Rats to discredit everything the TRT says from now on.

I'm disappointed that the TRT made such a childish flyer.

[4CJ]

What were the figures for 2001? Less than 600 accidental deaths by guns, and nearly 3900 accidental deaths by drownings.

Ban bathtubs. Do it for "the children".

[Sloth]

Morella = Nazi sympathizer.

[majordivit]

That's exactly what I told her staffer when I called her office 2 minutes ago. The ad is perfect. The next flyer should include MOrella wearing the uniform of a nazi Gestapo.

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY THE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP REFUSES TO ATTACK SENATOR BYRD FOR HIS FORMER AFFILIATION
WITH THE KKK?

DOES ANYONE BELIEVE THE D's WOULD BE SO KIND TO A REPUBLICAN MEMBER OF THE SENATE?

THE GUTLESSNESS OF THE GOP IS AMAZING...

Jews:

• Couldn't own businesses
• Couldn't teach in schools
• Were characterized in public school classrooms to be evil and dangerous, such that children would fear or hate them, and should report them to the authorities
• Had to pay special taxes and fees
• Couldn't have any weapons of any kind http://www.stephenhalbrook.com/article-nazilaw.html
• Couldn't have more than a certain amount of money...
• - and had to surrender excess without compensation when this law was passed
• Couldn't participate in politics
• Were demonized in the mass media, and feared by some members of the general public
• Were blamed as a group for social problems that they as individuals did not personally create or contribute to
• Couldn't criticize the regime
• Had to allow Gestapo inspections at any time
• Could be charged with a crime if their identity paperwork was not in order
• Couldn't travel freely
• Were sometimes beaten or killed, and/or had their property seized by overzealous agents of the Gestapo (who were then disciplined)
• Had to be publically identified by wearing yellow stars
• of young age were not allowed (at first, by the parents of Aryans, and later, by law) to play with Aryan children.

These laws weren't passed all at once. Question: At what point in the progression of these laws does civil disobedience become not only thinkable, but morally correct and necessary?

Gun owners:

• Couldn't enter schools or churches
• Couldn't teach in schools
• Were characterized in public school classrooms to be evil and dangerous, such that children were taught to fear or hate them, and should report them to the authorities
• Had to pay for licenses and registration certificates
• Had to pay special "occupational" taxes
• Couldn't own certain types of weapons...
• - and had to surrender certain ones without compensation upon passage of new laws banning them
• Were demonized in the mass media, and feared by some members of the general public
• Were denied voice in the mass media
• Were blamed as a group for tragedies that they, personally, did not commit
• Had to allow police or BATF agents into their homes at any time to inspect for "safe storage" or compliance with registration lists
• Could be charged with a crime if certain firearms paperwork was not in order
• Couldn't travel through certain townships or states
• Were sometimes beaten or killed, and/or had their property seized by overzealous BATF or other police agents (who were then promoted) http://www.keepandbeararms.org/russell_laing.htm
• Had to be publically identified by having their names, addresses, and/or pictures printed in the papers (just like sex offenders)
• were subject to an ASK ("Asking Saves Kids") campaign in which Million Mom type parents would ask about gun ownership status of the parents of their children's playmates, and would refuse to allow their children to play with the children of gun owners?

If the shoe fits...

[Hail Caesar]

We never used the term "Nazi" in the first place. That was inserted into this debate by the Kennedy Shriver campaign and certain RINOs.

Those are SS German Army uniforms that the Democrats are wearing above. The "prisoner" depicted has the marking of a communist (NOT Jewish) inmate. So, the false insinuation that some in the media (not you), have implied that this is somehow anti-Semitic is false.

[sinkspur]

Your context notwithstanding, and regardless of whether or not what you say is true, this flyer is in extremely poor taste. It will confirm in the minds of some that, not only are those on the right Nazis themselves, but that the right is obsessed with Nazis.

Buchanan tries to put his discussion of Nazis in context too.

You guys deserve to have your ass kicked over this, and don't be surprised if it shows up as an "Outrage of the Week" by Al Hunt or Mark Shields on Capital Gang.

Byrd's baggage

-SNIP

To the editors:

David Plotz's vignette of Senator Robert Byrd is searing but accurate. The former Ku Klux Klaner was one of six senators who had the privilege of escorting into the Senate chamber Chief Justice William Rehnquist, who as a young law clerk wrote opinions against the desegregation of schools, and who as a longtime jurist has never employed a black law clerk. The chief justice was then sworn in by Senator Strom Thurmond, former Dixiecrat and champion filibusterer against civil rights bills.

Plotz repeats, albeit incredulously, Byrd's old song and dance about joining the Klan to uphold "traditional American values" and to fight communism. But had the journalist dug deeper, he would have found proof that Byrd joined the hooded white supremacists because he loathed and feared African Americans. As cited in Graham Smith's When Jim Crow Met John Bull, Byrd, fearing the possible desegregation of the U.S. Armed Forces in 1945, wrote the famously negrophobic Senator Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi that he would "never submit to fight beneath that banner [the American flag] with a negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times, and see old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throw back to the blackest specimen from the wilds." A sexual past can trip up a politician but a racist past seems little hindrance to a long and glorious political career in America.

But Byrd's congressional exploits have never matched his gumption. In 1964, he demonstrated his growing mastery of procedure by filibustering the Civil Rights Act for more than 14 hours, one of the longest such delays in Senate history. Several years later, Byrd voted against the Supreme Court nomination of Thurgood Marshall. (Byrd briefly belonged to the Ku Klux Klan in his twenties, a misstep he has apologized for but never adequately explained. He has written that, at the time, he believed the Klan was "an effective force in the struggle against communism and in the promotion of traditional American values," which sounds more like a Klan advertisement than sincere remorse.)
