Ocasio-Cortez compares migrant caravan to the Jews fleeing the holocaust

[Black Diamond]

No one under the age of 30 should run for office.

Why are you liberals all such putzes I'm serious Noir, you're an intelligent person you know it's stupid to compare the central American caravans to WWII Jewish refugees who were hauling ass to get away from the Germans, why can't you just SAY that and eave it at that?

As stated in another thread, @STTAB, little fella deems himself to be intellectually superior to others.

I’ll defer to the Auschwitz museums comment on this one.

It is very possible that the museum folks responded that way because they like us to be reminded about the Holocaust. Especially in light of the current deniers.

Man up for once if you can....and explain your ignorant
and immature responses!

If the Congresswoman elect from NY would ever bother to pick up a history book she would be aware of the voyage of the SS St. Louis and the fate of its' Jewish passengers fleeing persecution in Nazi Germany. Lets see how the Democrat icon, FDR, compassionately dealt with these poor souls that were in fear for their lives:

Obstacles to Immigration to the United States

Quotas established in the US Immigration and Nationality Act of 1924 strictly limited the number of immigrants who could be admitted to the United States each year. In 1939, the annual combined German-Austrian immigration quota was 27,370 and was quickly filled. In fact, there was a waiting list of at least several years. US officials could only have granted visas to the St. Louis passengers by denying them to the thousands of German Jews placed further up on the waiting list. Public opinion in the United States, although ostensibly sympathetic to the plight of refugees and critical of Hitler's policies, continued to favor immigration restrictions.
The Great Depression had left millions of people in the United States unemployed and fearful of competition for the scarce few jobs available. It also fueled antisemitism, xenophobia, nativism, and isolationism. A Fortune Magazine poll at the time indicated that 83 percent of Americans opposed relaxing restrictions on immigration. President Roosevelt could have issued an executive order to admit the St. Louis refugees, but this general hostility to immigrants, the gains of isolationist Republicans in the Congressional elections of 1938, and Roosevelt's consideration of running for an unprecedented third term as president were among the political considerations that militated against taking this extraordinary step in an unpopular cause.
Roosevelt was not alone in his reluctance to challenge the mood of the nation on the immigration issue. Three months before the St. Louis sailed, Congressional leaders in both US houses allowed to die in committee a bill sponsored by Senator Robert Wagner (D-N.Y.) and Representative Edith Rogers (R-Mass.). This bill would have admitted 20,000 Jewish children from Germany above the existing quota.

Then perhaps I misjudged when I labeled you intelligent. I mean if you can't even defend your position in your own words............

They said it better than I could.

They said it better than I could.

So you're admitting that you simply aren't intelligent enough to defend your own positions.

He probably can't psychoanalyze his own comments... because they're psychobabble to begin with.

Simplicity doesn't seem to be something Noir is capable of. The elephant in the room escapes him.
