re: #229 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

Then why does this sound all so familiar? Just substitute “Blacks” for “Jews” and you have the foundation of the present RW movement in this country.

“In Vienna he acquired his first education in politics by studying the demagogic techniques of the popular Christian-social Mayor, Karl Lueger, and picked up the stereotyped, obsessive anti-Semitism with its brutal, violent sexual connotations and concern with the “purity of blood” that remained with him to the end of his career. From crackpot racial theorists like the defrocked monk, Lanz von Liebenfels, and the Austrian Pan-German leader, Georg von Schoenerer, the young Hitler learned to discern in the “Eternal Jew” the symbol and cause of all chaos, corruption and destruction in culture, politics and the economy. The press, prostitution, syphilis, capitalism, Marxism, democracy and pacifism—all were so many means which “the Jew” exploited in his conspiracy to undermine the German nation and the purity of the creative Aryan race.”
