Get with the times, subby, it's called the Tea Party now.

If by lobby you mean massaging the German chancellor, then...

Yeah.

This is going to raise a fuhrer on K Street.

TFA: He told The Hill that people in America did not understand the term socialism, but knew what Nazism was.

"So [we] decided: Why don't we just say what we are?" he added. "In the future, when we get people on the ballot, when people see the swastika on the ballot, they'll know what they're getting."

Poe's Law sense... tingling...

LouDobbsAwaaaay		2012-04-16 10:10:29 AM

The teabaggers have had at least two lobbyists for quite some time:

The American Democrat party was BIG supporters of Hitler, even FDR liked how Hitler brand socialism...

I hate lobbyist Nazis!

bdub77		2012-04-16 10:12:41 AM

It completely makes sense when you look at how far right our country is being pulled, between Faux News, the Tea Party, fundamentalists, and the fascists in the Republican party.

Dammit.

rudemix		2012-04-16 10:13:40 AM

Their message can't be much more repressive, bigoted or hateful than any fundie-religious lobby group.

Glenford		2012-04-16 10:15:11 AM

More than Illinois Nazis?

Yeah, seems like the cries of ZOMG SOSHULIZMS!!! weren't scaring people enough, so he's registered as a Nazi in order to promote conflation of the two terms.

You mean like the Republican National Committee?

Philip Francis Queeg		2012-04-16 10:19:38 AM

Any predictions as to which Congressman is first to actually be dumb enough to meet with this guy?

I'm guessing Allen West.

Wilt Chamberlain?

the guy who played Batman?

news stories can now read like this:

"The American Nazi Party lobbying alongside the Republican Party have been able to stymie a bill that would allow gays to marry"

HotWingConspiracy		2012-04-16 10:21:33 AM

He told The Hill that people in America did not understand the term socialism, but knew what Nazism was.

So basically, they couldn't get traction with their target teabagger audience while having a title with the word socialism in it. The Nazi's feel that nazism will appeal more to your average hate voter this way.

No, Allen West is the Flash.

You're thinking of Burt Ward.

abb3w		2012-04-16 10:26:50 AM

American Nazi Party's new website devoted to its lobbying activities is apparently here, for those who are curious as to how durable a hosting provider they've initially chosen; somehow, I expect the hosting won't be resilient enough under the traffic load to serve as their final solution.

When I was younger I naively assumed that the internet would render factual inaccuracies like this to obsolete because I thought people actually had an interest in getting their own facts straight.

That was really, really wrong.

I've been told by prominent FARKers that the Nazis were a far-left party. It's even in their name, so, no. The republican party is as far from fascism as you can get, I'm told.

Why vote for the lesser evil?

You were assuming people that had access to information would actually use it instead of just relying on Fox News? You realize these are the same people that can't be bothered to read what's actually in the back half of the Bible, don't you?

The original nazis were not leftists. Hitler was an opportunist and political leanings had nothing to do with it.

Done in one.

Perhaps that was meant to be snarky, but I think you actually hit it pretty close

All dictatorships are inherently Leftist. There is no such thing as a Right-wing dictatorship.

We should identify all citizens that have a uterus with some sort of symbol they must wear. To show how important and special they are.
