ROWE: Documented historical parallels

In regard to Mr. Rowe's commentary on the radical right in the July 30, 2010, ‘My Turn'; I find it refreshing every time I hear from someone who has studied history and has drawn obvious conclusions from the takeover in Germany in the 1930s and ‘40s. The propaganda and the nationalistic coercion used to stupefy and lead a whole nation's people into a fascistic, hate-driven disaster is well documented. Many of the tactics of today's right-wing extremists seem to be borrowed from the National Socialists of that period. I thank you J. Albert Rowe for spotlighting a parallel in history.
