And those homosexual currents inextricably were connected with vicious German militarism long before the Nazis."

Historian Thomas Fuchs said of the Brownshirts that "The principle function of this army-like organization was beating up on anyone who opposed the Nazis, and Hitler believed this was a job best undertaken by homosexuals."

I'm sure they rivalled the Jewish SS squads for being evil.
From Wikipedia:
However, upon the rise of Adolf Hitler, gay men and, to a lesser extent, lesbians,[1] were two of several groups targeted by the Nazi Party and were ultimately among the roster of Holocaust victims. Beginning in 1933, gay organizations were banned, scholarly books about homosexuality, and sexuality in general, were burned, and homosexuals within the Nazi Party itself were murdered...
After the war, the treatment of homosexuals in concentration camps went unacknowledged by most countries. Some that did escape were even re-arrested and imprisoned based on evidence found during the Nazi years. It was not until the 1980s that governments acknowledged this episode, and not until 2002 that the German government apologized to the gay community. This period still provokes controversy, however. In 2005, the European Parliament adopted a resolution regarding the Holocaust where the persecution of homosexuals was mentioned.
Fox News has a looooong way to go to catch Media Matters in its attacks. Then again it doesnt have the proper "staff".
Now that you've made the accusation, why don't you show me the incident where Media Matters did anything like what Fox did in this and countless other incidents?
You can't.
Media Matters is a careful organization which reports the facts accurately. Despite that, the dishonest can still make things up and smear them.
But you are shown to not have anything to back up your lies with. Anyone who has been to Media Matters and read their reports knows better than your lies.
Your trying to use founder David Brock's sexual orientation as an attack ironically just proves him right on what triggered his leaving the right-wing for its immorality.
He saw the way the right would use homosexuality as an attack, even while telling him to his face he was 'ok' as a right-wing author, and he realized the error of his ways.[/quote]
I understand that the Rainbow gang is trying to carve out a specil niche in Holocaust history for itself but the facts are a lot of the homosexuals were killed by other homosexuals. Roehm and the other SA homosexuals were the "Butches" or "Machos" and they intensely hated the "Femmes" or the artsy, effeminate homosexuals:
"The Butches were openly and deliberately lawless. They defied criminal statutes, including those governing homosexuality. As criminals, they were not concerned with trying to change the law. They were anti-Semitic, militaristic and gratuitously brutal. Their sexual ideal was the man-boy relationship extolled and engaged in by the Greeks, Crusaders and Teutonic knights. They considered these pederastic activities morally superior to sex with women, whom they despised as useful only for breeding. Their deepest hatred often was directed against the Femmes and, especially, Hirschfeld, whom they reviled as effeminate and therefore contemptible.
"Femmes," reported variously to be perhaps 5 percent to 15 percent of all homosexuals, saw homosexuality on the same moral level as heterosexuality, rather than above it. They supported the overall rule of law and opposed pederasty and sadomasochism. Many were involved in artistic and scientific activities -- dance, music, theater and medicine -- and persuaded many German intellectuals, liberals and Jews of homosexuality's acceptability. This acceptance of Femme homosexuality, based partly on seeing homosexuals as a harmless, often creative, "persecuted minority," seriously undermined public awareness of the true threat and acute danger of Macho homosexuals."

"The enduring "Butch/Femme" conflict among German homosexuals clearly had a substantial bearing on the treatment of pink-triangle prisoners. Plant writes of one survivor who reported that "the guards lashed out with special fury against those who showed 'effeminate traits'" (Plant:172). And Rector records an interview with a former Pink Triangle named Wolf (a pseudonym) in which the issue of effeminacy was raised. "The ones who were soft, shall I say, were the ones who suffered terribly," said Wolf. Rudolf Hoess, the infamous commandant of Auschwitz, who may himself have been a "Butch" homosexual, defined "genuine homosexuals... [by their] soft and girlish affectations and fastidiousness, their sickly sweet manner of speech, and their altogether too affectionate deportment toward their fellows" (Hoess in Rector:137f). These "genuine homosexuals" were considered incorrigible and held in special barracks, while many non-effeminate homosexuals were released (ibid.:137). Hoess, incidentally, had at one time been a close friend of Edmund Heines (Snyder:301), the procurer of boys for Roehm's pederastic orgies.
There is no question that homosexuality figures prominently in the history of the Holocaust. As we have noted, the ideas for disposing of the Jews originated with Lanz von Leibenfels. The first years of terrorism against the Jews were carried out by the homosexuals of the SA. The first concentration camp, as well as the system for training its brutal guards, was the work of Ernst Roehm. The first pogrom, Kristallnacht, was orchestrated in 1938 by the homosexual Reinhard Heydrich. And it was the transvestite Goering who started the "evolution of the Final Solution...[with an] order to Heydrich (Jan. 24, 1939) concerning the solution of the Jewish question by 'emigration' and 'evacuation'" (Robinson:25). Still, despite their disproportionate role, homosexuals did not cause the Holocaust. They, along with so many others who had lost their moral bearings, were merely instruments in its enactment. The Holocaust must be blamed on the one whom the Bible compares to "a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour" (NKJ:I Peter 5:8)..
Yet, while we cannot say that homosexuals caused the Holocaust, we must not ignore their central role in Nazism. To the myth of the "pink triangle"-the notion that all homosexuals in Nazi Germany were persecuted-we must respond with the reality of the "pink swastika...
"Betraying his roots in the "Butch" faction of the German "gay rights" movement, Roehm viewed homosexuality as the basis for a new society. Louis Snyder writes that Roehm "projected a social order in which homosexuality would be regarded as a human behavior pattern of high repute...he flaunted his homosexuality in public and insisted that his cronies do the same. What was needed, Roehm believed, was a proud and arrogant lot who could brawl, carouse, smash windows, kill and slaughter for the hell of it. Straights, in his eyes, were not as adept in such behavior as practicing homosexuals" (Snyder:55). "The principle function of this army-like organization," writes historian Thomas Fuchs, "was beating up anyone who opposed the Nazis, and Hitler believed this was a job best undertaken by homosexuals" (Fuchs:48f). ..
Indeed, homosexuality was all that qualified many of these men for their positions in the SA. Heinrich Himmler would later complain of this: "Does it not constitute a danger to the Nazi movement if it can be said that Nazi leaders are chosen for sexual reasons?" ...
Homosexuals who died in the camps (mostly of disease and starvation) were "a small fraction of less than 1 percent" of homosexuals in Germany (S. Katz:146), compared to more than 85 percent of European Jewry exterminated in the gas chambers. More significantly, many of the guards and administrators responsible for the infamous concentration camp atrocities were homosexuals themselves, which negates the proposition that homosexuals in general were being persecuted and interned...

That's some of what gets left out of Nazi history and the large role homosexuals played in it (indeed Hitler was likely homosexual himself ). When society is breaking down like it did in Germany (and similar to here now) and various psychopathologies manifest they often militate against what were the norms (which they feel oppressed by).
Media Matters, ACLU (led by Homosexual Anthony Romero) the Gill Foundation etc are all militant, authoritarian agents binding together to destabilise society and institutions to force its own behaviors and beliefs (and read the article about Gill called "They Won?t Know What Hit Them"
http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200703/tim-gill
its all about how they are using a stealth campaign to advance the Rainbow Mafia)
If course all these change agents clook themselves in "civil rights" but they just use the language of moral and laws to confuse people about their actual actions. They have no conscience at all about brainwashing even little kids.
As for what Media Matters actually does its pretty clear. As Christopher Hitchens said, ?I would say without any hesitation that he [Brock] is incapable of recognizing the truth, let alone of telling it.". Media Matters just jumps all over people for any reason big or small, in context or not. Thye don't argue points as much as just issue condemnations in cartoonish fashion. Of course they tried to hide they were getting funded by Dr Evil (Soros) but the cat got out of the bag. Media Matters and Brock are pond scuzz.
Thanks for the typo help. You'll make a good secretary
