Sorry there is no context here - what so ever - further my issues are with those using Nazism as an issue - where does this guy use Nazism ? He doesn't in fact THE ONLY point at which it is raised is by you becuase he HAPPENS TO HAVE A BROWN T_SHIRT ON - seriously you are simply backing up my arguments here.

Don't address the meat of the subject (The people ACTUALLY using physical attacks on others for their political views) instead focus of the color of the shirt. Dude, I made the comment about the shirt in semi-mocking tone (though it IS kinda ironic), sorry it didn't go over that way with you, but you keep focusing on that aspect instead of the real issue.
As for a tactic, I'd say spitting in someone's face, kicking them in the groin, and trying to intimidate them quite probably would have been among the tactics used by the Brownshirts. Like they say.... if the shoe fits.
And there is "no context" even when you see other video with people with SEIU shirts causing havok. Yes, I am aware you probably didn't look at the other links. You can't put two and two together on your side but you totally can identify the motives of the other side? That's curious to me.

In fact you freely admit to trying to create an environment of propaganda and fear based on lies and disinformation - so you absolutely agree with me that you have an agenda and it is based on spurious ideas, disingenuous information and totally lacks verisimilitude.
Nazism? lol how bout you look up my post on the definition of Nazi, and that will lead you to fascism That will in turn make it pretty clear. You have a group like the ones associated with the president (The Unions,Acorn, SEIU etc etc etc), using brute force to silence the protesters and town hall meetings, guess what that is?

Once more - you have identified a single protester acting badly - the media is literally inundated with hundreds of thousands of right wing protesters doing this - pointing out ONE Obama protester does not make what the right wing is doing in any way acceptable.
Further the right wing is EXPLICITLY conflating Nazism with Obamas policies - this is the issue - not whether people are behaving inappropriately at gatherings - it is about deliberately spreading DISINFORMATION - that is the issue at hand - you posts and line of argument are totally out of synch with the issues at hand in the nation.
Get with the debate mate.

I must have missed something there.....where did he admit any of that? You certainly talk in a lot of absolutes, but I do like the use of the word verisimilitude.

This is getting rather pointless.
So now you admit these "right wing loonies" number in the hundreds of thousands yet they are fringe people? To me that sounds like a substantial number of people. You seem willing to dismiss them even though you yourself acknowledge they are numerous. You conveniently group all who oppose you into one single crazy mass. Painting a large diverse group with one broad brush, hmmmmm.
BTW, I showed some other people being physically violent at these rallies, not just one person as you claim. Which side has used ACTUAL PHYSICAL violence against the other more? Please answer that question. Screaming, signs and words are one thing, punching, kicking, spitting on and threatening are another.
It's pretty easy to duck behind the "we don't really know they are supporting Obama" cover, when it is obvious they are instigating violence against the "right wing" protesters. It doesn't take much a stretch to figure out which side they are more in line with. You are minimizing the "innappropriate behavior" which includes, spitting, kicking in the groin, shoving cameras and beating up and intimidating people. I have not stated that all Obama supporters are using physical violence against opponents, just that some (namely SEIU people) are. You can't even think that is possible/probable?
You yourself brought up the brownshirt analogy, yet you try to turn it on me when I actually show such "brownshirt" tactics being used and you can't can't even call them that. Behaving inappropriately, nice euphemism there.

That's right don't answer the question I posed.
Audas was the one who mentioned the Brownshirts, first not me.
FYI the Brownshirts didn't make it the extermination years, they were sacrificed for the good of the Nazi Party, Hitler didn't like rivals very much. Night of the Long Knives
