Democrats Just Can't Stop Tributing Nazis and Then Lying About It

Late last week, Mark Halperin reported that NRSC official told him that the dirt they're about to drop on the Nazi -- I guess being a Nazi isn't disqualifying in the "anti-Nazi party" -- that "he'll have to leave the state."

Now that is an exaggeration.

But radio host and former Breitbart editor Larry O'Connor said he'd heard that too -- well, he said he did more than hear it.

Larry said: "This is a bad man... I'm sorry, I hate to put it [in these terms,] but I have learned, and I haven't just heard, I know things about this person that will come out, the GOP is not joking about this, and frankly it goes beyond the Nazi tattoo."

Now I generally trust Larry O'Connor but I didn't mention it because I hate getting too far ahead of the news. But his statement that he hasn't just "heard," but knows for a fact makes me think this won't just be another round of campaign-scuttlebutt that turns out to be vapornews.

Meanwhile, a major Democrat donor is threatening a lawsuit against the Free Beacon because they "invaded her privacy" by reporting that she had freely admitted on a public post on social media that her grandfather had been a soldier in Hitler's army.

She's claiming that doesn't make him a Nazi. Um... I guess?

But she says he did escape to Brazil before the end of the war which, I don't know, I always kind of assumed was something that major Nazi figures did, and not just everyday soldiers in the Wehrmacht.

Kelly Neumann, a Michigan trial attorney and Democratic fundraiser, has threatened the Washington Free Beacon with "legal action" unless we retract our story about her Veterans Day Facebook post honoring her grandfather who served "on the German side" in World War II.

What an anodyne way to put it. He fought bravely in World War Two. But, you know, not for the army you might think.

And she did this on... Veterans Day. American Veterans Day. On American Veterans Day, she decided to tribute a man who killed Americans.

What a very weird Aryan flex on Veterans Day.

...

"Happy Veterans Day to all my family and friends who serve/served!" Neumann's post read. "Interesting story, I do not talk much about but my Grandfather, Albert Neumann was on the German side in WWI & WWII. He escaped to Brazil with my father after Germany lost..."

Very interesting story, brah.

The post included several photos of the Nazi soldier in his Wehrmacht uniform. Neumann recalled that her grandfather was one of the first people to accept her as gay, which proved that "people can change and love can indeed win."

Well as long as your Nazi Army opa who fled to Brazil after the war was okay with you being a lesbian, everything's cool. There were Very Fine People on both sides, would you say...?

This isn't such a big deal, I guess. But what makes it creepy is that this woman, who obviously did not fall far from the fascist tree, is now threatening the Free Beacon unless they retract their 100% true story which merely quotes what she herself admitted.

Last week, the Free Beacon received a letter from Neumann's attorney demanding a "formal retraction" of the "false and defamatory" statement in the article. The letter was signed by Eugenie B. Eardley, another Michigan trial attorney who describes herself as the "First Lady of Law." She even has her own catch phrase--"seriously serious about the law"--which is ironic given the profound unseriousness of the threatening letter she wrote on Neumann's behalf.

For example, Eardley suggested the Free Beacon had not merely defamed her client, but may have also invaded her privacy by reporting on a post she made on the public Facebook account where she routinely shares photos of herself cavorting with Democratic politicians. That's because Neumann made the post "in her private capacity as a granddaughter," which sounds like nonsense.

It is nonsense. A public utterance is a public utterance. You cannot transmute it into private, confidential information by later claiming "I only said that publicly in my capacity as a private citizen who loves her Wehrmacht opa."

Her lawyer said that the Free Beacon falsely claimed he was a member of the S.S., which they said they never did. They also say they never identified him as a Nazi, but... I mean... he did flee to Brazil. I assume it wasn't just because he likes the lambada (the forbidden dance).

Democrats like the "I'm not an X I'm just a Y" defense. "I'm not a socialist I'm just a liberal" which is now "I'm not a communist I'm just a socialist."

And now: "He's not SS he was just a soldier in Hitler's army who fled to Brazil after the war."

"Punch a Nazi," isn't that what the left instructs us?
