Limbaugh: It's right out of Adolf Hitler's playbook. Now, what are the similarities between the Democrat Party today and the Nazi Party in Germany? Well, the Nazis were against big business. They hated big business and of course we all know that they were opposed to Jewish capitalism. They were insanely, irrationally against pollution. They were for two years mandatory voluntary service to Germany. They were against cruelty and vivisection of animals, but in the radical sense of devaluing human life, they banned smoking. They were totally against that. They were for abortion and euthanasia of the undesirables, as we all know, and they were for cradle-to-grave nationalized healthcare.
Here I want to examine a few of Limbaugh's claims.
1) Well, the Nazis were against big business. They hated big business
This is terribly wrong. Hitler courted big business well before he became Chancellor and business responded well to the wooing. From Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, pp. 143-44:
2) They had a whole bunch of make-work projects to keep people working, one of which was the Autobahn.
The planning for the Autobahn began in 1924 and was not associated with the Nazis. The first part of the Autobahn began in 1929 between Cologne and Bonn, several years before the Nazis came to power. In 1930, the Nazis members of the Reichstag voted down a plan for an Autobahn for all of Germany. Hitler finally embraced the Autobahn concept in 1933. SOURCE
