An Open Letter to Glenn Beck and Jonah Goldberg

Dear Mr. Beck and Mr. Goldberg,

Please stop calling Adolf Hitler a liberal. Adolf Hitler rose to power on the back of rightwingers in Germany, people who felt they had been betrayed by effete liberals such as the Social Democratic Party, the Communists, and the Jews. The old aristocracy of the Kaiser led Germany backed him, including the power families that controlled Germany's largest companies. Just because he was a vegetarian, and hated smoking, doesn't make him a liberal. I know its hard for you to get your warped little minds around that, but I felt it necessary to try. If anything in the hapless Weimar republic resembles our Democratic party, its the ineffectual government coalition of moderates and leftists that couldn't stop the rise of the anti-intellectual, militaristic, xenophobic jackasses who supported Hitler and the National Socialist Party against their best interests.

Thanks,

Andrew C. Tate
