Are "liberals" now the "Communists" Hitler railed against and vilified?

[Clark Santos]

The Swiss and Austrians would probably disagree with you and your 
friend. Dutch, English and some other languages are from the same root 
group as German. Occupation or colonization can be physical or fiscal, 
the second method is just a little cleaner or more Gringo as a Mexican 
would say.

I spoke with a friend over the weekend who pointed it out that German 
is unusual for a language in that it is only spoken in Germany and no 
other country. For all their maniacal drive to conquer, Germans 
apparently don't have much taste for Occupation. I had to google up 
Reichstag Fire and brief myself on the history, which is thoroughly 
revisited in another book recently published based on decades 
of research reviewing every source document for the last 68 years since 
the event. It appears to resemble more and more the (_!! of that era.
 
It is also interesting that the ho-mo-faux journalist scooped all 
others in breaking the Dan Rather flap. Could the "story" have been set 
up and planted to make the news about the newsman RATHER than the 
A.W.O.L. DRAFT DODGER? That's the only logical explanation I can 
conceive of, that the infamous planted White House pressroom shill 
could possibly have ferreted out the factual information to become 
the first "journalist" to break the story. That doesn't smell right.

Reply to sender of "When Democracy Failed -- 2005": "The parallels with 
the present are stunning--trite to say that such a story would never 
pass as fiction. A previous, and less well known pogrom is described by 
Barbara Tuchman in her history of the Dark Ages, The Distant Mirror. In 
her research she discovered that the nation-state of what is now 
Germany took just such a tragic turn in the 1400's, and the black 
plague that followed it.
   
That previous holocaust was over 500 years before the one Hitler 
coalesced. The interval between them and what appears to be history 
repeating itself in modern times is a span of less than 100 years! This 
is barely time for a new generation's magic slate memory to replace 
first hand experience of the previous one. National memory is 
demonstrably faulty, an educational breakdown. Democracy is fragile, 
indeed. Thanks for sending Hartmann."
