The comments on that are awesome. I dont think ive ever seen that before where the comments one after another all the way down rail against the blogger

Never heard of Fischer. Who is he?

Per his wiki he might be a match.

I'd read somewhere that Ernest Rohm the head of Hitler's SA was gay. I didn't realize til I looked Fischer up and clicked on German historian Lothar Machtan that Dietrich Eckhart and Ernst Hanfstaengl were also gay.

Not that it matters much unless you think like Hopey in his posts above. Its much better to deal with individuals as individuals than to assess them by group label stereotypes.

Still what does Fischer's opinions have to do with the thread incident: the Fed Reserve trying to cow a private bank's social interactions when their concern is suppose to be monetary policies?

He is the guy in the video you posted. Overall, he is a sorry excuse for a human being.

He has advocated preventing muslims from worshiping in the US.

Believes american families should be required to have at least 3 children.

States that muslims should not serve in the Military

Stated gay sex is domestic terrorism

Stated the following
A few other things he has stated

He has also called for the deportation of all muslims

He isn't the subject of the thread and none of the above is in the video I linked.

Too bad you can't debate the topic but prefer derailing the thread.

Whether it was the Black Panthers, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Atheists of American Atheists, etc....the announcer of the group doesn't matter.

The issue under discussion is the Fed going into a privately owned bank and trying to coerce the actions of a group of private citizens.

Lol Splendour, will you ever not take anything you read as true fact?

There is no strong evidence that any of them were gay. Its mostly speculation with the rest being circumstancial.

There were gay Nazi leaders, i mean its just pure statistics, however there are no first hand accounts of any Nazis of note being gay.

You asked who he was. I didn't bring him up.

That thread is over. They went in because they thought they were breaking the law, they checked, they werent, nothing happened.

I forgot...oops.

O rly?

Why is what I read any less reliable than what you read?

That Hitler was gay is the subject of much debate. But Rohm being gay seems pretty much a historical fact. A Social Democratic newspaper had some of Rohm's letters discussing it.

Time to do an OrP and go on vacation...sayonara thread...maybe I'll revisit later...tc everyone!

Good stuff.

Lol. (assuming that is just a general comment about the thread)

Also, the fed reserve is not government institution, so separation of church and state does not apply.

Incorrect. Its actions are not subject to ratification by any of the major government entities, but its authority ultimately derives from Congress. It is very much a government institution.

Yes, Rohm was gay. And then Hitler had him executed. What is your point?

ORLY?

And as was already pointed out, this was never a separation of church and state issue.

LOL...as usual everyone reads too much into my links. I came across the bank story on a blog then I came across a youtube video with the local news channel which was too short a clip to post in the OP so I found a longer clip where people were speaking more on it.

News is news whoever happens to be spouting it.

A very interesting link was right beside it:

Uh except that some small fry in the Fed were acting like it was until the bank checked into it further.

It was a bungled attempt by some people in the Federal Reserve at what they thought was a separation of church and state issue so your statement above is inaccurate.

Why do you keep going after my posts? Again, I didn't bring up Fischer.

watched the first few seconds and sure enough, the first thing out of his mouth: "there's a war on christmas".

Lol, as usual everyone reads the correct amount into Splendours links, finds they are from a dubious source and she backs away from them.

Whenever i post something for discussion the first thing i make sure is i have at least one unbiased source, preferably two. You run along to find the first thing you can regardless of the content.

When you post a youtube clip of an ultra hardcore major rightwing assbag you invite criticism for the very fact what he says is tainted by who he is. Looking for the longest clip is flawed, you should look for the best clip which is usually going to be a major or local news channel or even a link to an article by them is best.

Dont worry about proving the event existed, people will fact check this stuff for you, as was done in this thread leading to the revelation it may have been an infringement of the Lending Act and that it turned out on review they didnt break the law so were fine. However for the love of baby Santa please stop posting links you refuse to stand by when they get criticised. Fact check your own links, this forum is not your blog and you more than anyone is inviting people to fact check them for you just to show how flawed they are. And they always are.

Btw i just tapped into the search box approx what you would have searched for and all the top links are from the hate group American Family Association or from Info Wars which seems better only because of how terrible AFA is. You really should have fact checked this entire story better given how much wood people like Bill O'Reilly gets over the "war on Xmas". Its at times like this im either looking for a credible article to go with or just not posting the story.

Gays in SS = evil, ldo

mustaches (Hitler, Stalin) = evil, ldo

Not sure where to put Mussolini. Maybe he was gay.

Um, no. Read the link you yourself provided:

As already quoted by Hopey:
So again, to be clear, based on information you provided to the forum, the Federal Reserve officials never thought this was a separation of church and state issue. It was strictly an issue of the fair lending act.
