Well that's true Boogie, I misread it to mean that each of the professors offices were labelled. I think that anyone who is intolerant AND proposed the cleansing of the supposed "enemy" should be compared to Nazis. Sorry, I should have been more clear.
Ie. A person who does not tolerate homosexuality, but doesn't think that all gays should be killed shouldn't be compared to Nazis. The second they think all gays SHOULD be removed/cleansed/killed from society (or even a campus for that matter) should be compared to Nazis.
Bah, heaven forbid somebody actually make an honest comparison of the organized intimidation(not intolerance, intimidation) used by this college group and the matching element in fascism.
I see your point, but I'm coming from the POV that Nazi's started out by labelling, ridiculing, and becoming intolerant of Jews, years before they started concentration camps and carrying out genocide.
The actions on the part of Nazi Germany went through a few phases before things got to the way it ended up. This gradual evolution of hate and intolerance made it easier to get to the horrible state it did near the end. If Hitler carried out the "Final Solution" in the form of death camps, the second he came into power, you'd see a lot more outcry from the German population.
IMO the comparison is needed as a wake up call. The actions of the students closely mirror those of Nazis, and this should be a wake up call in regards to tactics. If they want change, if they want their voices and opinions to count...there are other better ways of doing so.
All this talk about people being labeled Communists...and not ONE SINGLE PERSON has mentioned McCarthy-ism?
Well, it goes without saying. A witchhunt it is, but I think the focus of the thread got a bit shifted so we didn't discuss it that much.
