MDA: "Goebbel's words are wise words to live by"

[OakRiver]

You read that right, Moms Demand Action endorsed the words of Nazi propaganda minister Goebbels
"If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear"

Moms Demand Leader Honors The "Wise Words To Live By" Of Nazi Propaganda Minister - Bearing Arms

And as proof that this lady has nothing to hide she then promptly deleted her Twitter account

 

[Trigger Time]

I've heard those words said by people with authority before.
the answer is , it doesn't matter what or if anything. It's my right to remain silent. Period

Anyone surprised? They are uneducated on many levels, therefore things like this will come out eventually.

Browncoat attorney = Brown shirt SA?

How interesting!

I watched that conversation unfold on my twitter feed. It was very...revealing... That account has since been deleted and she made another account and then admitted it was her. Delusional:

and her new account where she admitted to it...

 

[T.Lex]

LOL

The anguished plea for the account to be a parody is priceless.

I have to throw up a bit of a yellow alarm, though. In the pics, the name of the account changes. I think Twitter lets users do that, but I'd await confirmation that she said what it looks like she said. Not convinced of the "new account" thing.

I wonder if she turned her Che t-shirt inside-out when she made that new twitter account.

I believe it changes because she deleted her old account, then created a new one. Although it seems very foolish of her to do such a thing and then continue the discussion under the new tag, thus linking it to her prior statement.

You could be right. Here's her new real account. It's private now...

And profile picture. Same person...

A) I wouldn't be surprised if she really did tweet it. They don't teach history as well as they used to. (But, there is more to teach than when I was in school, during a period of time that my kids now learn about in... history class.)

2) Trust, but verify. I'd love to see her on a morning news show defending her position that she's so proud of. Until then, I think there's plausible deniability that it wasn't her.

 

[OakRiver]

Admitting that it was her = plausible deniability?

This is a good point.

They probably don't spend more than a single class period on WW2--with all that [STRIKE]global cooling[/STRIKE], [STRIKE]global warming[/STRIKE], [STRIKE]climate change[/STRIKE], climate disruption information to teach. Besides, most people believe this anyway. How many times have you heard somebody retort to some government spying story with something along the lines "I don't have anything to hide...if it makes us safer".

Different account. Could be an impersonator/parody.

Don't believe everything you see on the internet.

Nice Abraham Lincoln quote at the end

I understand the need for skepticism. But everything points to the fact that this is the account of the person in question, and that the previous account was also hers. The ownership of the accounts is not in dispute, which surely would have been the easiest way for her to distance herself from the comments made (other than the usual excuse "I was hacked")

Catch 22- admit you agreed with Nazi or admit you don't know who Josef Goebbels was. I can buy either.

Not sure about this, as most users of twitter probably don't know about either until Jon Stewart tells them.

Exactly. Its ironic that she deleted her account. She must be afraid because she was definitely trying to hide that tweet

 

[Win52C]

I'd bet that the young woman had absolutely no clue who Josef Goebbels was before posting...

 

[D-Ric902]

Obviously a public education.
