PRE-JUDGING ORIGINS OF SWASTIKA ON DAVID SCOTT'S SIGN

I am not jumping to conclusions here. On the contrary, I am urging anyone interested in pinning the act of painting a swastika outside the office of black congressman David Scott (D-GA) on the angry conservative "mobs" to step back and not jump to conclusions themselves. The truth is that the thug who did it is still unknown.

Two examples illustrating why assumptions should not be made come to mind. The first goes back to the origins of WWII. The second is a personal experience I witnessed back in 1992.

HILMAR von CAMPE was a former Hitler youth in WWII and has written a book called, "Defeating the Totalitarian Lie". If anyone is qualified to give an accurate depiction of what happened in Nazi Germany, a man who lived through it as a soldier in Hitler's army would be. von Campe quotes Hitler in 1939 as saying the following (p. 50):
"I shall create the necessary propaganda reason to explain the beginning of the war. It doesn't matter whether it is credible or not. Nobody will ask the victor later whether he spoke the truth."
Ask yourselves a question. Based on that premise, would it be possible for an angry leftist to paint the swastika on Scott's property even though such a person might be in support of gov't run health care?

No? Continue reading on page 50 of von Campe's book:
Hitler, top SS leader Heinrich Himmler, and SS Lieutenant-General Reinhardt Heydrich had agreed on a plan to draw Poland into war at the beginning of August 1939....

On the night of August 31 to September 1, 1939, three SS units that had been formed for an elite mission donned Polish uniforms and mobilized. The units then attacked the Radio Station Gleiwitz; the custom building Hochlinden; and the forester's house Pitchen, all located in Silesia close to the border on German territory....

To add a touch of realism and demonstrate that there had been a battle, a number of political inmates held in the nearby concentration camp Sachsenhausen were murdered and outfitted in Polish uniforms then distributed around the three targets as fallen enemy combatants. One German civilian, Franz Honiok, who had done nothing wrong, but lived in the area, spoke polish and was known to be friendly with the Poles, was arrested by the Gestapo, killed and left lying at the doorsteps of the radio station. His death was carried out to make people believe that he was the person who had given a victory speech over the radio. The bodies of these murdered people disappeared once the press had registered, and reported on them. The commandos quietly buried them in a mass grave.
von Campe maintains that the citizenry of Germany was deceived to believe that they had to fight for their country's army to defend the nation, not knowing that they were partaking in a war of aggression.

The second and more personal example came in 1992. While living in an apartment complex in South Florida, we had an interracial couple as neighbors (White male and black female). One morning, the couple woke up to find spray-painted on their door, the term "n-lover" (or some racial epithet similar to that). A local television news crew came out and did a story on it. It's been a long time but if my memory serves me right, it was discovered that the husband ultimately confessed to doing it in the hopes of getting a person he was in a dispute with blamed for it.

So how does this all tie back to the sign outside of David Scott's office having a swastika painted on it? Read the AP ARTICLE on what happened to Scott's sign and ask if it's at least possible that a supporter of Gov't Run health care could have put the swastika on the sign. While it's too early to jump to conclusions either way, stoking these kinds of fires by doing something against your own cause so the other side can be blamed while the actual perpetrator can maintain plausible deniability is certainly consistent with things the left engages in constantly (like race-baiting).

The KKK was created to be the armed wing of the Democratic party yet conservative Republicans are the ones who end up being accused of being the racists. Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr. were Republicans yet their legacy has somehow been commandeered by the Democrats.

The word "Nazi" is derived from the phrase meaning National Socialist Party. The current debate over health care in this country has the socialists wanting a government option. It is at the very least conceivable that a leftist could have painted that swastika on David Scott's sign. The truth is that we don't know either way so to assume either side in this health care debate is responsible is presumptuous and out of bounds.

Representative David Scott MADE NEWS this past weekend when he got into a heated exchange with a Doctor over health care.
