It's not even remotely the same thing, and lying about it only hurts your cause.

"Proving me wrong only pushes people toward my side," said yet another predictable CHUD.

God damn, do I wish you people cared about words.

Except no one has proven me wrong. Because it didn't happen.

They're Nazis and he endorsed them.

Feel free to have any opinion deeper than "nuh-uh."

No deep opinion required. It's a fact. He did not admit to being a Nazi.

Feel free to step back and consider the impact you have when blatantly lying about what someone else said. Especially when it comes to one of the most horrific organizations in human history.

His words amount to admitting he's a Nazi.

That's what his words mean.

Especially when it comes to one of the most horrific organizations in human history.

Yeah, wouldn't it be fucking awful if a modern political party stood for the same things as that organization? What kind of asshole would promote those bigots?
