how about all those drunk neo nazi and minute men that are supposedly patrolling the border, did the geniuses at fox ever for one second think that maybe it was there campfires that started those fires…..its hard to believe that those fools would be out in the desert at night (where it does get very cold at night) with out a fire to stay warm.

Remember the Alamo, except that it wasn’t ours to remember.

Moderate Mike, Your concerns are realistic. I don’t believe in Evolution, and the people that do don’t think we have changed in 80 years.

Maybe I’m alone in this, but I don’t think the Reichstag fire was necessarily started by the Nazis. They certainly USED it to stamp out opposition; they turned an isolated event into the justification for a major crackdown. This is also what I think happened with 9/11. No, the gov’t wasn’t responsible, but they leaped on the chance to pass things like the PATRIOT Act.

Fox News and their supporters need not have evidence for their message to be effective.

In less than a month after the Reichstag fire, Hitler had absolute power in Germany. I try to tell myself that the same thing could not happen here, but the parallels between this event and what is happening here in the U.S. chill me to the bone.

What I think is interesting about these fires and other natural disasters happening lately, is that most are happening in states where they have passed (or have tried to pass) anti-immigrant laws.
Remember after Katrina how some televangelists said the destruction of New Orleans was God’s revenge on all the unholy things the citizens did there?
Well maybe people should fight fire with brimstone (so to speak) and claim these disasters are God’s way of taking revenge on the anti-immigrant forces and telling them that they are wrong. After all, would God discriminate because of national origin? I don’t think so…

Hmmm, right-wing zealots blaming their enemies for starting fires so they could push for a crackdown … seems to me I’ve heard this one somewhere before.

If the FCC was worth two cents Fox would have to run a disclaimer that their shows are not news but editorial commentary, and that even the occasional factual items are chosen to push their radical right wing agenda.

(Just a quick point: it was not one of THE Arizona’s largest wildfires. I think there’s only one state of Arizona, he he he).

Hope this helps!
