My latest in PJ Media:
For Leftists today, anyone who opposes cradle-to-grave government control, forcible vaccination with largely untested substances, and the transfer of large populations from Central and South America, as well as Afghanistan and elsewhere, into American cities in the dark of night is a Nazi, and so the fact that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Gaza) accused Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) of defending Nazis is not really groundbreaking or unusual.
What is striking in this case, however, is the fact that Omar based her accusation on Cruz noting that angry parents who opposed Critical Race Theory and mask mandates in schools were mocking school board members by making the Nazi salute: in other words, the people Cruz was criticizing were accused of being Nazis, not those he was defending. Would Omar really be that nakedly dishonest? Why, of course.
Omar on Monday tweeted “Ted Cruz just casually defending Nazis in a congressional hearing” over a video of Cruz castigating Gestapo chief, that is, Attorney General Merrick Garland. And the ardently America-loving Congresswoman wasn’t alone. The Daily Beast ran a story with the breathless headline, “Ted Cruz Defends Parents Doing Nazi Salutes at School Board Meetings.” Not to be outdone, the Washington Post gave us: “A man gave a Nazi salute at a school board meeting to oppose mask rules. Ted Cruz defended it as a form of protest.” CNN was punchier: “Ted Cruz defends parent’s use of Nazi salute.” Even the UK’s far-Left Independent got into the act with “Ted Cruz appears to defend parent doing Nazi salute at school board meeting.”
Omar’s tweet and all of these headlines give the impression that a Nazi parent showed up at a school board meeting, gave the stiff-arm salute proclaiming his allegiance to the Führer, and duly came to the attention of the indefatigable patriots in Merrick Garland’s FBI, whereupon Ted Cruz, a conservative Republican and hence a Nazi himself, goose-stepped into a Congressional hearing, clicked his jackbooted heels, and spoke out in defense of this sinister parent.
This fits in perfectly with the Left’s paranoid fantasies about conservatives, but Omar, as well as the Beast, CNN, and the Post were all apparently banking on their Leftist marks not bothering to watch the video of the actual exchange between Cruz and Garland, as it made it immediately clear that Cruz was not defending the Nazi salute from the standpoint of approval of Nazism. In reference to incidents that Garland used to call for an FBI presence at school board meetings, Cruz noted that one involved a parent doing a Nazi salute; Cruz said: “My God! A parent did a Nazi salute at a school board because they thought the policies were oppressive. General Garland, is doing a Nazi salute at an elected official, is that protected by the First Amendment?” Garland replied that it was.
There is more. Read the rest here.
Wellington says
So, if you mock Nazis or Nazi-types (e.g., many idiotic school board members across America) by giving the Nazi salute you are a Nazi. Right.
Meanwhile, in the intellectual and moral desert where Islam predominates, Adolf Hitler to this very day is still hailed as an heroic figure. Right.
mortimer says
They are mocking inarticulate working-class people who work in factories and shops, rather than in university committees or fancy offices. Those working-class people who feel strongly show by hand gestures what they think of someone. In WWII, many soldiers and many American civilians made the PHOOEY salute with their hand to mock the Nazis.
What CNN and their calumniating allies will not admit is that large numbers of working-class Americans are no longer loyal Democrats, because the Dem Party actually HATES and DESPISES them and pulls tricks on them, thinking they are too blind and too stupid to see the trick.

Liars: Ilhan Omar, CNN, WaPo, Daily Beast Accuse Ted Cruz of Defending Nazi Salute
……………..
The Leftists have got nothing, so they *have * to lie. Just despicable.
mortimer says
They are not just ‘lying’. They are *CALUMNIATING*. Calumny is two sins: lying plus slandering at the same time.
Calumny is a false accusation of crime, misconduct, or defect, knowingly or maliciously made or reported, to the injury of another; untruth maliciously spoken, to the detraction and defamation of another.
“Calumny”, Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J., writes in his Modern Catholic Dictionary, is “injuring another person’s good name by lying. It is doubly sinful, in unjustly depriving another of his good name and in telling an untruth. Since calumny violates justice, it involves the duty of making reparation for the foreseen injury inflicted. Hence the calumniator must try, not only to repair the harm done to another’s good name, but also to make up for any foreseen temporal loss that resulted from the calumny.”
CNN and Ilhan Omar and at least half the Dem Party are STEEPED in the sin of calumny, and they will likely not repent or apologize.
Westman says
It seems the media was simply taking an opportinity to throw twisted dishonest propaganda. That Omar believed it points more to the kind of imbecility we see in mobs of “offended” Muslims looking for blood.
jewdog says
I would think Ilhan Omar would like that, but maybe only secretly.
mortimer says
Agree with jd. Ilhan is an Islamo-fascist and has not problem with slandering anyone who isn’t or who oppose her fascism.
You and I know how often Israelis are calumniated as resembling the Nazis. A few weeks ago a Nazi flag was hanged from an outdoor wire by a Pally propagandist to mock the IDF. Well, an IDF sharpshooter shot the cord holding the Nazi flag up and it tumbled to earth.
The parents have to sue CNN and Ilhan Omar to stop this sort of calumny. Mocking the Dems as the New Nazis is appropriate, because they are true fascists … namely, a supremacist political party in cahoots with Big Corporations … that is what Hitler and Mussolini did.
jewdog says
Ironic that an Islamo-nazi would condemn a Nazi salute, but she’s pretty devious.
somehistory says
And there is no logic in islam….none, even one of their infamous clerics said so.
The devious part is the reason she is “condemning” it.
Infidel says
Not just that, she never condemns any jihadists for doing that salute – like Hizbullah does. So why would she have a problem w/ Ted Cruz, stating as a matter of fact, that it’s protected under the First Amendment? Aside from Cruz having an (R) after his name and she having a (D) after hers?
mortimer says
Reply to jewdog’s ‘ironic an Islamo-nazi would condemn a Nazi salute’.
They have intentionally mischaracterized the intent of the mocking, frustrated parent who believes the Dems are the New Nazis.
Indeed, if you want to find who the REAL New Nazis are, then identify the group that is demanding censorship!
Reasonable people settle ideological matters through debate. But the Dems are elitist minions of Big Money Institutional Funds and Big Tech.
tgusa says
Yes Mortimer, spot on. They are just giving the nazi salute as a mocking gesture of what they believe they are. Its similar to saying to a control freak, OK Adolph.
somehistory says
i. elmi, alias, i. omar is a lying snake. She doesn’t have the brains God gave a maggot.
If I recall….since I was not alive during all of the German nazi party stuff, the murders, the drug experiments, the camps, the gassing….I have to go by books, my parents, friends who lived it, …my guess is that many non-nazis gave the salute just to go on living, rather than be instantly taken for a protester to what was happening and put on a cattle train.
It’s like the spy who pretends to like America, knowing who plays what position on a team, while being totally against America.
The parents were suggesting in no uncertain terms that they **were likening** the school board members to the hated nazis due to their nazi-like actions.
The snake knows very little, but one thing she does know, and that is how to lie, to twist things until they break.
mortimer says
Reply to somehistory: Your calumniating of others makes you as bad as Ilhan and the CNN calumniators. Your impatience to condemn is no better than theirs.
These evil people are not without intelligence. They are lacking in the virtue of equanimity and in the virtue of fairness.
You will bring more people to the counterjihad by using ‘justice’, ‘fairness’ and ‘equanimity’ towards your ideological enemies.
We should never calumniate our enemies, even if they are as bad as Hitler.
somehistory says
Why don’t you grow up? This site is not to coddle your little mozlum buddies.
My speech is just as free as yours. And, if you were really a follower of Jesus as you pretend, you would realize that He, Lord and Master,
called His enemies “offspring of vipers,” “unwashed cups,” “whitewashed graves,” and “children of their father, the devil, wishing to do the desires of their father.”
Get off the “calumniate” kick as you don’t really understand what it means.
You call me as bad as i elmi, alias omar, and so that makes you so much like her as she is a big liar too.
I’m not interested in your assessment of how I’m doing in “bringing people,” and as I said on the other thread, I don’t give a fig what you imagine, believe or how many times you attempt to insult.

The site’s name, and purpose, is JihadWatch.

And I have never claimed that it is, but the editors allow freedom of speech…for those of us who believe as well as those such as you who don’t. I’m not inviting you or **anyone** here to “come.”
So, you keep making sure all of us know that you don’t want to read His Name, and if I’m defending myself against “mortimer” telling me what I must do, must not say, and acting like he is my Lord and Master, then I’ll use the appropriate words.
Freedoms: Speech, all in America (so far) have that…you also have Freedom not to read what I write in using my Freedom to write it.
I do hope this is clear, because this is the last time I intend to respond to you. But, not the last time I will mention God or His Son in my comments. Now, you have a nice day.
PRCS says
The editors, and the First Amendment, also allow others to criticize.
Regurgitating your personal SUPERSTITIONS here contributes nothing of value to this site’s purpose.
I do hope this is clear, but if need be, I will continue to remind you.
PRCS says
And given your consistent use of the childish “mozlum” in your posts, why don’t YOU grow up?
While Islam IS a totalitarian theocracy–making it antithetical to and incompatible with democracy–not every Muslim knows what Qur’an, hadith, and Sira actually say, and many would leave “the faith” if they could.
Muslims are–first and foremost–human beings.

Poor baby. Not enough attention from your family, so you have to seek it out from someone you hate?
If the Internet had existed for Charles Martel or Pope Urban and either had a web-site and you lived then, what would you say to them?
Mr. Spencer and Mr. Glazov, the Editor of FrontPageMag, are both devout Christians.
Address them and tell them how what they believe is just “superstition.”
Why don’t you get together with all of the other atheists who hate Christians and go defeat islam wherever you find it?
mozlums…and i’ll spell it anyway I choose, thank you…who want to leave are few and those who do are not the ones I address as ‘sons of satan.’
I have a long “history” of talking with, working with, mozlums and I have yet to only meet two who “wished” to leave….both were female. And yes, they are…if still living…very much human.
mozlums who rape little girls or women of any age, murder people because they eat pork, drink alcohol, celebrate Christmas, tell the Truth about islam, or other made-up nonsense and evil, mutilate little girls, refuse proper cleanliness, and lie, lie and lie, etc., have made themselves into children of satan the devil.
They still have their human DNA, but they don’t behave as humans were created to behave; nor do they think as humans were created to think.
And, you can “remind’ me all of the times you choose. I don’t read your comments as a general rule…whether or not you are responding to something I write. I happily skip over what I consider of no benefit to me.
I don’t read “morti” most of the time…only when he is attacking someone for telling the Truth about his good buddies.
So, do as you please. I don’t give a fig for your opinions any more than I do for his.
James Lincoln says
somehistory says,
“They still have their human DNA, but they don’t behave as humans were created to behave; nor do they think as humans were created to think.”
100% true.
Of course muslims have human DNA but, due to many centuries of inbreeding with first cousins (where it is practiced), that DNA can become defective.
Defective DNA from inbreeding often causes both physical (many manifestations) and mental abnormalities (lowered IQ, poor impulse control, etc.)

JL,
That is a said thing to have to report, but true. That is one of the many reasons incest is so very wrong. It causes such emotional, physical and mental problems for all, esp children born into such a society where everyone is related to everyone else.
But, even people of such low quality of life can learn the difference between right and wrong behavior.. God is merciful and if a person wants to do right, he/she will be helped to go in that direction.
PRCS says
(Paraphrasing): Mr. Spencer has stated that Christianity–as a belief–may not be true, and I don’t personally know any atheists who hate Christians–or the followers of any other religion.
And knowing, as you’ve acknowledged, that Muslims ARE human beings, odd that such a good Christian would forget the golden rule.
PRCS says
James,
“They still have their human DNA, but they don’t behave as humans were created to behave; nor do they think as humans were created to think.”
100% true.”
“(where it is practiced)” means it’s NOT 100% true.
James Lincoln says
PRCS,
Good pickup, I stand corrected.
I should have stated “100% true – where it is practiced”.
PRCS says
No problem, shipmate.

I’m not sure if this is true, though I don’t think they would report this on the “Outsiders” program on Sky News here in Australia if it was untrue, but today they said that, and they said that it was probably mostly because of the way the media in the USA try so hard to cover up Joe Biden’s idiocy, that belief in the media has fallen to its lowest level ever and that only 1 in 10 people in the USA say that they trust the media these days. Off this subject, Jihad Watch had that report about that Hizb-ut Tahrir, if that is the right name for it, having a meeting in Australia, in Sydney, where they called for the “necks of the Jews”. The report was about a week or so back. I mentioned in a comment that people here in Australia often complain and say that that group should be banned because they are banned in many countries. On “Outsiders” today, they interviewed an official from a major Jewish group out here and they are taking legal action against Hizb ut-Tahrir for hate speech inciting violence. That foul Muslim mob may be nailed this time around. Apparently, back in 2015, Tony Abbott ( he may have still been Prime Minister back then) did try to take action against that mob, but, at that time, they were ruled not to have gone too far into hate speech. This time they may have overstepped the mark. It would be great to see them banned or proscribed which was the term they used on “Outsiders” toady.. I suppose the legal action will take quite a while.
PRCS says
Tim,
“On “Outsiders” today, they interviewed an official from a major Jewish group out here and they are taking legal action against Hizb ut-Tahrir for hate speech inciting violence. That foul Muslim mob may be nailed this time around.”
I watched that earlier today.
Glad that Jewish organization is taking legal action against HuT.
But, Dr. Adler, like so many–as we’ve discussed before–is either uninformed about Islam or,is for whatever reason, giving the Islamic ideology a pass.
While not every Muslim knows what Islam’s texts actually say, the public needs to know that HuT members are neither extremists nor radicals: they are literalists expressing Islam as it’s written.
BTW: Rita certainly has an interesting background.
intentionally narrowing the scope of that making a common misthe case more difficult (IMO) by
PRCS says
Ignore that las line.
tim gallagher says
Do you actually watch the entire program, PRCS? I like the program and the three presenters, though some segments do bore me somewhat. I know what you mean about how Dr Adler, and others, won’t, or maybe don’t dare, to come out and be really blunt about islam. I suppose they know that the whingeing whining Muslim “victims” will come after them if they do tell the completely unvarnished truth about islam. Out here in Australia, I would say that all commentators are careful what they say and usually do go on with the usual crap about how it is only radical Islam, not all of Islam, that is the trouble. People like Andrew Bolt, Cory Bernardi, Pauline Hanson, Rita Panahi, Tony Abbott and a few others have come close to telling the truth about islam, but none of them can be really truthful. I know that Andrew Bolt was dragged through the courts for comments he made some years ago, not about islam, and so his employers probably tell him to be careful. Yes, Rita Panahi’s background is interesting. I’ve seen photos of her as a child, wearing the Muslim headgear, while living in Iran. It was on a segment of Andrew Bolt’s show on Sky News. Rita Panahi said she hated wearing the headgear. I used to think she was born in Iran, but she was born in the USA. She ditched Islam and often says that she is an atheist these days. I find that she is a very feisty person. I hear her on radio a bit too and I notice how she is always willing to argue with callers who attack her views. I would probably not bother sometimes, but she doesn’t take a backward step. And she doesn’t seem to give a damn about the abuse she cops on social media. You would have to have a thick skin to be such public people. I like the three presenters on “Outsiders”, maybe especially Rowan Dean because I find he is often very funny. The other program i watch on Sky News on weekdays is Peta Credlin’s program. She was chief of staff for Tony Abbott when he was Prime Minister and I find her viewpoint impressive. I watch a bit of Andrew Bolt’s show, who I have been impressed by for many years, but that’s it for me. I like to have a break from political matters.
PRCS says
I watch those programs on YouTube–so, they’re truncated I suppose.
They’re ALL informed. Some are funny. Some are REALLY funny.
Dr. Adler has at least two options: take a win against HuT alone, or make the public aware of the true problem: Islam–as it’s written.
tim gallagher says
PRCS, I hope that Dr Adler does win the case. It would be great to see this Hizb ut-Tahrir banned. That mob are often discussed out here because apparently they are banned in many countries, but not yet in Australia. But I see what you mean. Dr Adler could speak up about the evil nature of the whole of Islam, basic islam. Like you, PRCS, I would love it if people would tell the unvarnished truth about islam’s nature. I’m sure some of them do know the truth. I’m not holding my breath for that truth telling to happen here in Australia any time soon.

Ilan Omar should be the vary FIRST Rep. to be FIRED by the American Tax Payers. She represents a foreign entity not American law and values. The SQUAD of anti American reps. in congress need to be next on the list, followed by a whole list starting with Biden and most of the Democrat leadership and a handful of Republicans that represent themselves and their BIG money donors.

There is a lot in common between Nazis and jihadis. Probably they see the Nazis as competitors to dominate other cultures, and that is why they do not like them. Antisemitism was widespread in Nazism, so what has she against Nazis? The Nazis did not like democracy and America. The same seems to be how she thinks too. What is her problem?
