This is perhaps a new low for CNN.

Don Lemon uses Holocaust poem to describe loyalties to Trump

By Washington Examiner, February 22, 2020:

CNN host Don Lemon used a poem about the Holocaust to describe the loyalty some aides hold to Trump.

As CNN’s cable primetime lineup transitioned from Chris Cuomo to Don Lemon, the two discussed Cuomo’s ending monologue, which analyzed party loyalty to Trump. Cuomo cautioned his viewers to “be on the look out” following the news that Trump appointed his former aide Johnny McEntee as a new “personnel chief,” who would reportedly work to identify those disloyal to the president. “These loyalty tests, I mean this is like straight out of Voldemort’s book … It’s not supposed to be about that. Not supposed to,”Cuomo said, referring to the villain of the Harry Potter series.

“What is the thing? When they came after this person, I didn’t say anything. And then they came after that person, and then they came after this person. And finally there was nobody left,” Lemon said in response to Cuomo.

Lemon was invoking a 1946 poem by German pastor Martin Niemöller, in which he lamented the moral failure of Germans who realized the injustice of the Nazis, but never stood against the Nazi regime.

Niemöller writes, “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

A transcript of the poem is on display at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.

Leave it to hypersensitive FREDO to agree! Don Lemon is a sick sour puss. That was a SICK comparison and another attempt to have that poem become meaningless.

If you ridicule Don Lemon, then you are automatically a “racist” or a “hater”. The words racist, impeachment, phobic and Russian asset etc. are now becoming meaningless words because they are misused and over applied. It’s also amazing how the LEFT can have hideous comparisons and name calling but the target of that must always take the high road. LOL!

When you reference “Don Lemon” were you addressing Dawn LeMoan?

Yes!
It’s terrible out there…. I am weary of libtards calling others what they are and accusing others of what they do. I want the mental gymnastics to stop!

It could be applied to what’s going on now:
First they came for the clitorisses,
Then they came to enslave the Africans,
then they came for those who reject their Muhammadist dogma [see Wikiislam.net ‘FGM’, ‘racism’, ‘torture’]
The question is, is it really a poem or a war-strategy lesson.
& did Niemöller write it as capitalistic endeavour like all those capitalism-lovers might argue, or out of pure altruistic egoism.

What are these guys saying? These statements are utter lunacy. Trump has no brownshirts. He was elected by due process, not part of a coalition from which he manipulated his way into the Presidency as Hitler manipulated his way into the Chancellorship. There are no concentration camps. He is not massing our troops on any border to threaten the sovereignty of any nation-states. This comparison to Hitler is ludicrous, but not only ludicrous, but also outrageous, ignorant, vile, self-serving, a dirty rotten lie, and completely beyond the pale (however, keep in mind that even George W. Bush was constantly vilified as a type of “Hitler”). Wow. I’m groaning.

There’s a YouTube clip of “Louder with Crowder” street interviewing this American/German girl who self describes as a bit of a political journalist. Crowder tells her that there is no longer ‘free speech’ in Germany, and this girl is adamant that he is wrong from every angle that she can think of. Back and forth they go, until she says that of course ‘hate speech’ isn’t allowed. The crowd roars and she starts in on the Nazi angle defense against allowing hate speech. It is striking that she fails to equate it all. She clearly saw her ‘freedom of speech’ all while knowing and agreeing that it was not free to express ‘radically’ different thoughts. Astounding!

Exploiting the Holocaust to score a cheap political point. That’s the currency of faux-journalist scumbags like Don Lemon, Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow.

Simple Remedy. Stop watching CNN & MSNBC.

They are still using the same old stale playbook. When a demonrat President replaces staff with people loyal to him, it’s standard procedure. When Trump replaces people that have been actively working to undermine his work, he’s a Nazi. It is too bad (for them) that we have been made aware of their contradictory actions and no longer fall for their BS.

Then they came after the socialists?..I don’t Remember that part as socialists killed a lot of Jews also. Feels like Dumb Lemmon added that one.
