Thog's Science Masterclass #20: Revisionist Anatomy Module

[realthog]

You people are out calling us Nazis, saying we're running around with Swastikas. We get tarred and feathered as Nazis because we don't just bend over, grab the ankles and let you guys ram whatever down our throats you want.

----Rush Limbaugh, August 11ish

Major strategy and tactic from the "Tyrants' Manual" -- call them what you are.

As we know.

The stormtroopers of the American Right do, though, seem to be taking it to Goebbelsesque extremes at the moment -- and perhaps even beyond. Limbaugh is currently pushing the mantra that Obama, "like Hitler", is a dictator. This seems an astonishingly hard argument to make, since Obama was recently elected by a clear majority in a seemingly open and fair election, and has issued no diktat that I have been able to identify. Yet still Limbaugh, the Lord Haw-Haw of our age, lumbers on.

[irony level 10]Look, as a sarf Londoner, I wish to object, in the strongest terms to your insult to my fellow south Londoner William Joyce. How dare you, sir, compare him to that louse Rush Limbaugh?[/irony level 10]

"my fellow south Londoner William Joyce"

He was the one who wrote Portrait of the Propagandist as a Young Man, wasn't he?

"In his Brixton bedsit."

Or Brixton bedheadstand, as Limbaugh might conceive it.

If one follows Limbaugh's version of the anatomy, it might well be a bedloo.
