Sinergy, that was in referance to your "beast under the bed" comment above.
You're assuming that educated and intelligent people are harder to control.
That's an assumption that wasn't at all true in 1930's Germany and certainly not in American politics.
*I'd say that educated and intelligent people are easier to control and I'll bet Bill Clinton would agree with me! He was a master at it.*

Sinergy, nice bob and weave!
Germany was at the time one of the most highly educated countries in Europe.
That went for the whole country not just the Jews.
Many of the Nazis had advanced degrees. Many "Drs" as I recall both M.D.s and Ph.D's
You forgot to quote the thing about Clinton too.

Thank you for the compliment about bobbing and weaving.

Not sure what that has to do with anything, but thank you regardless.

I am not sure what your comment about advanced degrees on both Jews and Non-Jews has to do with Kristalnacht or the ability to control the intelligentsia.

I also did not "forget the quote the thing about Clinton too."

I merely picked one talking point in your list and used it as an example of a statement made which has no context or relation to the rest of the talking points in the list.

Hello, Sinergy
Whoa, whoa, slow down, you're getting way ahead of yourself there.
You're introducing more subjects that don't have anything to do with my previous post.

If you google Joesph Lieberman, and Lynn Chenney... list of UnAmericans you will find that they have compiled a list of professors they want to ruin because they are not Red White and Blue enough. Some of my professors were in college during the Cold War, and remember the targetting of beloved professors because they wanted to teach Marxist theory....many people lost their jobs over that.

Don't forget to add Daniel Pipes and David Horowitz - They're almost as bad as Lynn Chenney.

I see Horowitz's name, and I have to wonder... there certainly are plenty who try to shout him down at speeches and confrences, and he has fought against the hated speech codes at some universities. What has he done to muzzle speech?

Have you ever heard of the group known as ''Campus Watch''? Horowitz is former Marxist turned Neocon who likes to intimidate tenured professors and use anti-semitism as means to get them fired because they preach a left-leaning anti-neocon doctrine. These guys love to cry ''anti-semitism'' in order to silence their critics.

Do you remember six months ago, when Horowitz, coupled together with Sean Hannity, led the charge to demonize the Yale faculty for admitting Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi, former ambassador and speaker for the Taliban to it's student body?

Did you ever watch that or read about it? Did anyone ever wonder WHO let this MF into our country on a approved student visa?

How does that quote by Bush go - “You can fool some of the people all the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on.”

Not really.

You did state that I forgot about the Clinton thing, I stated that I did not forget about the Clinton thing. I am a bit puzzled what "Clinton thing" you are referring to, but I am giving you time to explain.

You made the comment about Intelligentsia in Nazi Germany, I responded with the comment that on KristalNacht, Hitler had them all rounded up by his Brown Shirts and either killed or thrown in concentration camps.

You made the comment about bobbing and weaving, I asked what that had to do with anything.

Please clarify which things I was talking about that had nothing to do with your post, because the way I read it, my responses relate specifically to points you brought up.
