On February 18, 1943 Joseph Goebbels, holds his famous speech in the Sportpalast, in which he calls for "total war".
A few days later, he notes in his diary: "Diese Stunde der Idiotie. Hätte ich gesagt, sie sollen aus dem dritten Stock des Columbus-Hauses springen, sie hätten es auch getan."
"This hour of lunacy. If I had asked them to jump out of the Columbus Towers third floor, they would have done it, too."
This is what the republicans and the Nazis have in common. Not the ideology, not the methods, but the cynicism.
I wonder what Zell Miller wrote in his diary today.
