Anti-gay group compares marrying same-sex couples to helping the Nazis.»

Reacting to the California Supreme Court’s decision overturing a same-sex marriage ban, the far right group Campaign for Children and Families compares county clerks issuing same-sex marriage licenses to Nazis gassing Jews during the Holocaust. Here’s what they say on their website, SaveCalifornia.com:

Ask your county clerk if they were a Nazi officer during WWII and had been ordered to gas the Jews, would they? At the Nuremberg trials, they would have been convicted of murder for following this immoral order.

    Obviously, home schooled nitwits…

    Helping the Nazis? Check out “Prescott Bush” and “George Herbert Walker” in an Internet search and you will find that Bush’s Grandfather, Prescott Bush, and Bush’s Great=Grandfather, George Herbert Walker, were both supports of Adolph Hitler and the German Nazis in the 1930s and the early 1940s, until FDR stopped their activities by invoking the “Trading with the Enemy Act” in 1942.

    Jeebus, check out that site. These people are told what to think, how to think, and what to do about it. Creepy.


  4. Bobwurst Says:

    Buuuttt…. according to the rightwing christian republicans wasn’t hitler doing god’s work? This is so confusing. When hitler was killing jews that was good, when he’s killing nonviable cell masses he’s bad. i’m glad grampa john can sort all this out.


  5. Keith Says:

    Weren’t homosexuals also sent to concentration/death camps?


  6. Bobwurst Says:

    Oh wait a minute, the nonviable cell mass holocaust is bad, but it’s the gays who are not having abortions, who are not jewish, who don’t want to have random sex in the minneapolis airport men’s room who are like the jews and the county clerks who give them marriage licenses are like the nazis who are sending them to the gas chamber? is that it? republicans think marriage is like the gas chamber? Drywall, help me out here.

    But wait! There’s more!!!

    Samuel Bush, Dumbya’s Greatfather equipped both sides in World War 1.

    Sorry, here’s one link to Samuel Bush.

    The right wingnuts sure do like to trot out that Nazi-O-Meter for every occasion, eh?


  11. Shayne Says:

    So the party that acts like Nazis has trouble with people they think are acting like Nazis?


  12. gummitch Says:

    Proof positive that gay people make wingnuts absolutely stark raving mad.

    This is what happens when siblings mate. These nitwits didn’t have the benefit of a large gene pool; they were spawned in a gene puddle and it shows.

    Good God the irony burns. Pink triangles, anybody??


  15. Crusty Old Bastard Says:

    I am all for same sex marriage–it is the most promising solution to the world’s most pressing problem: overpopulation.
    I am reminded of my Dear Departed Daddy who, in the late 60’s made a comment to a lesbian who proclaimed that the Gay/Lesbian community would eventually take over the world. His succinct remark was: “Honey, you better do it one generation!” There is no Constitutional right of wish with anybody you desire but don’t expect me to pay to raise the bastard. God Bless you all!


  16. Crusty Old Bastard Says:

    The last sentence of comment 16 should read:

    “There is no Constitutional right to impregnate or to be impregnated. Fornicate with anybody you desire but don’t expect me to raise the bastards. God Bless you all!”

    Can you get more stupid & moronic than this?

    Oh, sure. Check out the Rick Santorum article immediately preceding this one… y’know what? Never mind. You’re right. This one IS stupider.


  19. Xisithrus Says:

    Well Hagee said it was to get the Jewish people to Israel faster and that Hitler was doing GODS work.

    Bizarro World.


  20. hanshiro Says:

    Them religious inbreds done confused “God’s” law with “Godwin’s” law:

    “Godwin’s Law applies especially to inappropriate, inordinate, or hyperbolic comparisons of other situations (or one’s opponent) with Hitler or Nazis or their actions….There are many corollaries to Godwin’s law,…For example, there is a tradition in many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums that once such a comparison is made, the thread is finished and whomever mentioned the Nazis has automatically “lost” whatever debate was in progress.

    Self evident, says I…

    That’s easy! They’re totally insane. Utterly stupid. Morally stunted. And evil as well.


  23. questioneverything Says:

    Please do some research. Gays were rounded up in Nazi Germany. This is more projection on the part of the reich-wing Rethugs. Whatever they accuse their enemies of, they, themselves are doing.

    Watch–your sexual orientation will be required on your new “secure ID.”


  24. Leftside Annie Says:

    Evil…? Stupid…? Hmmm.

    My vote is for BOTH.


  25. pete Says:

    It’s becoming increasingly clear that these so-called “Christian” assnuggets have never studied anything but the King James Bible. And they utterly fail to comprehend it.

    Now for the sarcastic part.
    They almost make me think eugenics is a good idea. I mean, these idiots procreate! How effed up is that?


  26. morlau Says:

    Reductio ad hitlerium


  27. Jess Wonderin Says:

    Hopefully these people will continue to push these insane statements and will end up with those same 28%ers that still thinks Bush is doing a “hecka’va job” . . . seems the Reich overlooked some in the shallow end of the gene pool . . .

    What a calling card, FOUR generations of war profiteers


  29. sacopenapa Says:

    People who worry too much about other people’s sexuality are not so sure of their own…


  30. RUCerious Says:

    OK, ladies, check your ovaries in at the door. The repuglycans will keep them safe until you are told you need them…


  31. RUCerious Says:

    Well, there is a poster over on HuffPo whose handle is Feminazi. But seriously, folks….


  32. dbadass Says:

    This is just plain bizarre. What is with these freaks?


  33. 1984 Says:

    01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

    02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

    03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

    04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

    05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

    06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children.

    07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

    08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why we have only one religion in America.

    09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

    10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

    Has anyone noticed that to Loyal Christians(R), everyone else is a Nazi…

    … Talk about P R O J E C T I O N!

    1984 Says:

    Awesome! I’m sending it to all my friends.
    Max-1 Says:
    Projection or reflection? I think that Loyal Christians(R) must stare into a mirror to come up with this crap.


  36. Robt Says:

    Why do people turn over rocks to see what is underneath?


  37. ThomasMc Says:

    Born-again Christianity: religion for retards.


  38. Paul W Says:

    Ask your county clerk if they were a Nazi officer during WWII and had been ordered to gas the Jews, would they? At the Nuremberg trials, they would have been convicted of murder for following this immoral order.

    Equating gay marriage with murder? This one’s out there even for these screwballs.
