Can you sink any lower than MSU football?

Who isn't Hitler these days? I mean, other than the real left wingers who kill or support the killing of Jews. Obviously they don't count.

forgot it was the left wingers in Charlottesville that were chanting “Jews will not replace us.”

It’s a problem with both fringes. Left and right.

Heard from a friend in Michigan who is a Spartan fan. The responsible party has been fired.

It was a trivia question. Get over it. This is nothing but the media attempting to pile on.

Showing his picture was grossly insensitive. Certain topics and people are inappropriate for TRIVIA. 30-40+ deaths and casualties should not be trivialized. The adults made the correct decision.

Mary......I am sure there are fine people on both sides.

 

[creamery freak]

Sad thing today is that schools probably can't teach history about Hitler and the evil atrocities the Nazis committed during WWll. As a trivia question, sadly there was people there that were clueless to who he was.

Message to fastlax16 they weren't left-wingers.

Hmm, were they chanting death to Israel? Were they chanting death to America? Were they protesting the removal of statues of democrats? Did they launch massive attacks that butchered over 1400 Jews and 30+ Americans? Did they kidnap 200+ Jews and (as far as we know) 12 Americans? Were they called terrorists?

And not to be completely dismissive of your post, but I've seen real, died in the wool, card carrying left wingers who ran the D party do what you describe while pretending to be R's, and so called news services try to cover up the information.

What a sad place some people want to take this great country. Sorry if I trigger you by calling this country great.

I’m not sure there’s enough tinfoil to make a hat big enough for all of that. Wow.

I’m Jewish. My wife is Jewish. My son is Jewish. I have a problem with right wing nuts with tiki torches chanting Jews will not replace us here in America. If you need to compare their actions to Hamas to justify them then you are fine with being far from great.

Having Hitler as the answer to a question on Jeopardy would be fine, given the context. But think about the atmosphere at a football game. With all the noise and other distractions, thousands of people would just see his face on a screen without knowing why. It was an incredibly stupid decision.

The media is so unbelievably corrupt these days. I wouldn't automatically believe them if they said the sky was blue. I don't believe them when they claim Israel bombed the hospital. I don't believe them when they say Hamas is not terrorists, but merely resistance fighters. When's the last time the media pointed out Israel hasn't controlled or occupied Gaza in almost 20 years and that Hamas has been running it unimpeded during that time?

The divide and conquer of our mainstream is doing a phenomenal job. People of all shapes, sizes, colors, and sexes are all falling for it.

And the leader of a synagogue was stabbed to death in Michigan this weekend.

What’s any of that have to do with what I said? White Nationalists groups are anti-Semitic and are not left wing. Not sure why pointing that out got such a rise out of you.

You don't fully grasp the ramifications of the lies and hatred that you spew. You really don't. Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.

I am not supportive of the move, it was stupid, but then again, it is Michigan State and lately they have specialized in stupid. With that said, the obsession with being insensitive, tone deaf etc, is idiotic. People need to grow up and stop acting like cry babies every time someone says or does something they don't like. Deal with it. This is a contrived issue.

 

[NoBareFeet]

Incredibly overblown "controversy". It was a trivia question as to where he was born. If you are outraged by this, you should never leave the house.

Probably half of the History Channel's programming is about Hitler. Should that channel be axed?

People are such babies these days.

You are upset that I said white nationalist groups are anti-semetic? You need help.

If it had been Mao or Stalin up there, it’s 1/100 the issue despite higher body counts. I’m always amazed how those monsters avoid the justified hate

Exactly. I posted this to point out that MSU has not learned from their Scandals. You would think that they would have a system to screen for and reject stupidity.
Their president wanted PSU kicked out of the B1G over Sandusky.

Is that what you think? You could not be more wrong. The problem is nobody defines white nationalist, yet they group everyone in it. Hell, I've seen Clarence Thomas and Tim Scott called white nationalists. The problem is if you actually define it, it becomes recognized for the ridiculously small group that it is, and you can't have that. The irony is that because you have so poorly defined the term, your leftist buddies consider you a white supremacist, and they actually are coming after you. Stay safe and yes, I truly mean that.

I mean we couldn’t have a trivia question at a football game related to actual football. Someone had to come up with one about a heinous historical dictator shortly after a barbaric attack in Israel reminiscent of Hitler’s crimes. 🤷🏼‍♂️

The people that were yelling "The Jews will not replace us were neo-Nazis they were not left-wingers silly boy.

Hmm, were they these guys? You know, actual democrat party members posing as republicans? I don't say that to be flippant, because their actions should be disavowed. Its just that the media that reports such matters is actively lying about so many things its hard to know when they are actually telling the truth. You on the other hand, seem to be able to discern easily when the media is lying to you, so congrats on that. BTW, a second congratulations on conflating the effects of despicable words with the butchering of 1400+ civilians and kidnapping of over 200 more, a decent amount of whom were also Americans. We'll just ignore all the left wing protests going on calling for the destruction of Israel and celebrating Hamas because those actual old school Nazis don't count.

Eyeroll

don’t you have a Three Percenters gathering to be at where you all can share grievances and touch each others’ goatees ?
