He also could have chosen any number of other occasions where Jews were persecuted that didn't involve Nazi Germany and industrialized genocide, but he invoked Nazi Germany for a emotive reason.
- gavanwoolery 10y agoThat's true, but I think he invoked Nazi Germany just because he said it without thinking about it much (I am sure if he recognized the backlash it would have caused, he probably would not have said it at all). :)
- hackuser 10y agoI don't think any comparison to Jews being persecuted would have been acceptable. It's all emotive and there is no rational basis. Dodgers fans are 'persecuted' in the Bay Area; is that the same too?
- anw 10y agoComing from the Bay Area, I think your analogy with the Dodgers is a bit of a stretch. He is talking about people that are hated for being successful. /s
