Noam Chomsky Compares Right-Wing Media to ‘Nazis’
(Mediaite) - Add Noam Chomsky to the growing list of people using the Nazi analogy lately. Speaking to the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, he alluded to right-wing media as “substantive content — crazy content, but it does give answers,” and warned that if Americans weren’t properly educated about what was really happening to them, they could be in for a repeat of the Nazi takeover of Germany in the 1930s.

Is it possible that those individuals and groups that oppose universal health coverage are worse than the Nazi’s?
As many as 80 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured, which means they have little access to a regular physician, checkups, preventive services, affordable prescription drugs, dental care or screening tests.
Up to 100,000 lives could be saved if the country’s health-care system performed as well those in nations such as France, Japan and Australia, according to the Commonwealth Fund study, which was based on World Health Organization statistics.
After the horrors of the Holocaust were known, All of us swore that we would never standby and let it happen again. However with 100,000 people dying each year because they are under-insured, Americans will see 8 million individuals die during their lifetimes. More than the Holocaust.
American life expectancy is about 80 years.
Since 1945, the most commonly cited figure for the total number of Jews killed during the Holocaust has been six million.
How do you know that 100,000 people die each year for being under-insured? You're never going to get anywhere with the argument that individuals & groups that oppose universal health care are worse than the Nazi's. We've got the best health care system in the world... Why in the world would I want us to be like France, Japan and Australia?
