Andy Dufresne 12,885 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) I only read a few of the tweets, the ones in the articles that reported her firing, and it seems like she was punted for poorly stating her point, i.e. being bad making analogies. I would guess she was warned before and this was more of a last straw sort of thing. On a tangent note, everybody sounds dumb when comparing anything in the US to Nazi Germany.

I think they were trying to let it smooth over and then she barfed that take out the other night. She didn't though. She was saying that jews reached the point in WW2 germany where they were openly persecuted because their neighbors allowed it. Then she asked how is that any different than persecuting people for their political beliefs. What is offensive there? Shes not wrong. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Insein 10,886 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I'm done with disney again. They haven't learned a damn thing. Star wars was on the way back and they just couldn't help themselves. Had to listen to nutjobs on twitter who have been harassing this woman for over a year. Nutjobs who don't even know a single character from Star wars but will happily watch it burn if it serves their religious agenda. #### disney. #### Disney wars. I'm out. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because she's equating the current political climate to the the climate in Nazi Germany. Do you really think that either side of our political spectrum are receiving the same treatment the Jews received just prior to the Holocaust? That was the precursor to genocide. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

People just need to stop with the Nazi Germany comparisons. "Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors... even by children... Because history is edited, most people today don't realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?" Where is the direct correlation to today? The fact that people associated it with today served her purpose perfectly and proved her right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
