The Nation: Ron Paul Crosses the Christmas Candidate

There is no debating that the most manipulative campaign advertisement of a holiday season that in Iowa and New Hampshire offers no respite from the pleadings of politicians is that of the supremely cynical Mike Huckabee.

Appearing beneath a glowing cross and proclaiming "what really matters is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ," the former governor of Arkansas stakes his claim as the Christmas candidate.

Hitler loved to reference Jesus

This page has all kinds of pictures of Hitler and the Nazi's using Jesus and Christianity for their propoganda. We must never forget that the Nazi Beltbuckes said "God is on our side". Doesn't Huckabee infer that God is on his side? Heil Huck...

The following photos provide a pictorial glimpse of Hitler, how his Nazis mixed religion with government, and the support for Hitler by the Protestant and Catholic Churches in Germany. In, no way, does this gallery of photos intend to support Nazism or anti-Semitism, but instead, intends to warn against them.

Hitler's close friend, Dietrich Eckart, told of overhearing Hitler showing off to a lady by denouncing Berlin in extravagant terms: ". . . the luxury, the perversion, the iniquity, the wanton display and the Jewish materialism disgusted me so thoroughly that I was almost beside myself. I nearly imagined myself to be Jesus Christ when he came to his Father's Temple and found the money changers." Eckart described Hitler as "brandishing his whip and exclaimed that it was his mission to descend upon the capital like a Christ and scourge the corrupt."

And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables.
--John 2:14-15

Over the last 6

months The Nation has had several articles about RP. None were nasty and all were reasonably accurate. All media has a bias. The Nation is great at digging out the truth. For example, any reader of The Nation during the run-up to the invasion of Iraq knew 100% that WMD was 100% nonsense.

McCain ... not to be outdone ..

John McCain has come up with a very similar ad that has run in the NH market for the past week or so ... he tells some tale about him being a prisoner of war and some guard at the camp came up to him and drew a cross in the dirt with a stick and lo and behold ... there is the cross drawn in the dirt for a good while with John telling you all to have a happy holiday .... Hmm .. ya dont think this is some form of one upsmanship , do ya? Not like anyone would think McCain has fascist tendancies ...
