Trivializing the word "Nazi"

[jckryan]

I heard recently that a full page ad was taken out in the New York Times (maybe the Post), protesting the trend of the use/trivialing the word "Nazi" in the the media and politics. Supposedly 400 rabbis signed or put their name in this ad.
But this 'trend' supposedly started with the "Soup Nazi" in the Sit-com "Seinfeld" . . . am I missing something here?

Im curious how they define "trivializing".

 

[William Joyce]

What a bunch of Nazis.

 

[Mini 14]

The "Soup Nazi" was a joke.

And still one of the funniest bits ever.

When pundits start calling each other "Soup Nazis" I'll give them a pass.

But that isn't what they're doing, is it?

 

[Mr.Fitnah]

I couldn't care less .
Who the nazis where , who there allies where has be trivialized .
Islam and Nazism go hand in hand.
Progressives taught and inspired the Nazis.

great show.

 

[R.C. Christian]

The jewish community feels threatened when the aura of victimhood they've worked so hard to maintain is udermined in this case by overusage of a word, nevertheless, I completely understand their viewpoint. They're simply afraid their plight, and their history will become equally trivialized.

what do they have in common?

nothing.

the term nazi should be used only with respect to nazis. to use the term lightly and without discretion does a disservice to what actually occurred. it does trivialize it.

*edit* jon stewart did a great bit on this subject where he pointed out that sharing a similarity with nazis does not make you a nazi. you'll appreciate it because he rips a dem apart for doing it.

I wonder why the Rabbi's didn't protest this TV series?

Yes I do.

No you didn't.

 

[Sunni Man]

The reason this production wasn't protested by the Rabbi's or the Jewish community.

Because it was produced, directed, and financed by Jews.

Yes I do.

No you didn't.

You wont be able to understand this. Marx was a progressive.As was Stalin and Hitler.

A QUARTER of a century ago Comrade Stalin gave an oath on behalf of the Party to fulfil with credit the behests of Lenin. Comrade Stalin’s oath resounded as a fighting call to the Party, to the working class, to the Soviet people, and was a lode-star in the historic struggle to refashion social life, the struggle for the construction of Socialist society.

Comrade Stalin led our Party and the Soviet people along Lenin’s road. He upheld and developed Lenin’s theory on the possibility of the victory of Socialism in one country. Putting Lenin’s behests into practice, our Party under the leadership of Comrade Stalin, secured the Socialist industrialisation of the country and the collectivisation of agriculture, converting the Soviet Union into a great industrial and collective farm Socialist Power.

Comrade Stalin, as nobody else, profoundly understood Lenin’s inspired ideas on the Marxist Party of a new type, upheld the purity of the Marx-Engels-Lenin teaching, developed the Marxist-Leninist theory, steeled the Party in the struggle against numerous enemies, and forged and trains cadres capable of furthering the cause of our Party.
