You didn't answer the question? Do you know the answer, since you made a bold fact based statement.

I'll ask again....

Why did Hitler turn the German people against the Jewish, again?
Was it their religion?
Was it because they were the big bad business owners with all the wealth?

I am amazed by how Republicans trying for sarcasm only manage to sound stupid.

I am a left wing progressive liberal and I am voting for Democrats because they come closer to my positions on policy than either the Republicans or the Independants.

Bush and Cheney are Progressive Republicans that are big spenders.

Kinda like Hoover and FDR were. But nothing like Obama's Progressive big Government and spending.

In the vid posted, do you think any of those apply to Progressive Democrats?

Nowhere in my post did i mention "Jewish". I was talking about Hitler and the "tools" he used to trick the people, just as the Corporatists have "tricks of the trade" to trick the tea partiers (and how much easier it is to fool them), and you are completely missing the point of my post AGAIN (I'm shocked, SHOCKED, I tellya). Your feeble attempts to derail the thread duly noted

I do not know how Hitler and the Nazi's turned the people against the Jews.
How did the Republicans turn many Americans against immigrants and poor people?
How did the Bushista's convince America to go to war with Iraq and Afghanistan when the 9/11 bombers were mostly Saudi Arabian?

Democrats ... the party of intelligence, humanity, and progress
And you wonder why people like you get labeled as racists? This was offensive. If this is the only way you can make a point, then no wonder people doubt your intelligence.

Do you even bother reading what you write?

Democrats used to lynch white republicans alongside blacks, the democratic party was the political party where white racists could try and influence legislation.

The racist democrats had their hopes of defeating the civil rights bill taken away by the republicans, so why on earth would they switch parties to the republicans? The party with the largest percentage of civil Rights supporters was the Republican Party, so why would this send the racists to the same party that overwhelmingly opposed them??

Once the Civil Rights Law was passed, the racist democrats found little reason to remain in the Democratic Party. The reason why conservative democrats left the party and went republican was because the Democrat Party had become too liberal. They did not like all the liberal crap that came form FDR and things were getting steadily more liberal as the years went on. The conservatives left the democrat party, the liberals remained, racism had nothing to do with it. Liberal racists like Sen. Robert Byrd remained in the democratic party.
