Gina Carano belittled Jewish suffering by comparing her opponents to Nazis.
Is what she said accurate? Yeah, fairly: after all, her issue is that conservatives are being forced out of the public sphere using hateful and false propaganda, so that when the government starts literally taking action against them the body public has already been conditioned to think they "deserve" to lose their fundamental human rights.
It's why, of course, Trump supporters have been hounded as "literal nazis" for the past five years. Years ago a conservative was banned from Twitter for using "insulting" language when AOC falsely compared a Latino invasion to Jewish refugees (and ignored the misdeeds of her own party). But we don't need to go back to 2018. As it happens we can look at an op-ed a mere two days before Carano's firing by another extreme leftist (MSNBC's Hayes Brown) who claims that like Hitler Donald Trump is such an awesome communicator that he can influence millions by the power of his voice alone.
“Part of the reason that comparison rings true is what happened after the putsch’s failure — and the history here is what has me most concerned about the idea of putting Trump on the witness stand,” the author writes.Describing Hitler’s “stunning performance throughout the trial,” the author claims that “the listening public had thought the ideas he’d rattled off in his diatribes sounded pretty good” and that the international media was also impressed, effectively “boosting Hitler’s standing” from a “nobody” to an admirable figure able to reach the masses.Though the author notes he has low expectations from Trump and doesn’t expect “anything remotely as eloquent” as Hitler’s speech, he warns of “inherent risks” in giving Trump a voice, should the former president take the stand.Reiterating his fears, the author calls for a greater effort to “neutralize” Trump’s message than that which should have stifled Hitler nearly a century ago.“So, yes, subpoena Trump — but make sure you can neutralize his message more effectively than German prosecutors did in 1924,” he concludes.
So will MSNBC be backing away from their relationship with Brown? Don't hold your breath. When Carano does it it's "abhorrent behaviour", but when an MSNBC lefty does it, it's...well, I don't even know what adjectives they use to defend it, since far-left channels like MSNBC refuse to comment on it when conservative media is outraged, knowing their leftist MSM buddies will provide cover.
If the rule is "belittle Jews by comparing your opponents to the Nazis and you'll be fired from your media job", then let that be the rule. But let's apply it equally.
And while we're on the topic of "applying it equally", if Gina Carano's co-star can talk in favour of his brother claiming to be a woman, can't she also speak out in opposition to pretending his brother is really a woman? Isn't that in fact the whole point about her Jewish violence meme?
