    Rich Man Doubles Down On Warning That Poor People Are Basically Nazis
    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/27/thomas-perkins-doubles-down-holocaust_n_4674266.html

    Maybe you thought rich maniac Thomas Perkins was kidding or drunk when he wrote that the Poors were basically Nazis preparing to Holocaust him to death. But no: He has doubled down on this claim in a new email to Bloomberg.

    “In the Nazi area it was racial demonization, now it is class demonization,” typed Perkins, according to a Bloomberg article on Monday.

    Perkins is also having difficulty understanding why the media is not more concerned about Occupy Wall Street protestors -- who break windows at luxury-car dealerships and Wells Fargo branches, which is exactly like Kristallnacht! -- than about brave wealthy people who discuss important issues, such as whether poor people are really Nazis.

    Perkins, co-founder of Silicon Valley venture-capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers, was responding to the uproar he sparked last week when he first wondered out loud -- on the op-ed page of The Wall Street Journal, naturally -- whether the Poors might not all be Nazis.

    His comments were so outrageous that even Perkins' fellow rich people recoiled. The firm he founded, Kleiner Perkins, tweeted: https://twitter.com/kpcb/status/427185213261623297

    Perkins did his old firm a giant solid by confirming to Bloomberg that he had long ago left their reservation, emailing that their "philosophies and strategies have drifted so far apart that now my name means little on the door.”

    It is easy and fun to make fun of Perkins, whom a French court once convicted of committing manslaughter WITH HIS GODDAMN YACHT and who has written a bodice-ripper called Sex And The Single Zillionaire, which Rupert Murdoch hailed as “Fun, fast -- a great read!"

    But to dismiss Perkins as a deranged lunatic is to overlook the fact that he is far from alone. As David Sirota pointed out at Pando Daily, Perkins is just the latest in a long line of rich people comparing progressives to Nazis, part of a widespread campaign to get us all to "pity the billionaire," as author Thomas Frank puts it.

    Update: As further evidence that Perkins has lots of company in the Nazi-spotting game, another wealthy venture capitalist, Tim Draper, has ridden to Perkins' rescue, telling Business Insider that Perkins "is a brilliant man, and he is identifying schadenfreude, something that continues to be a thorn in humanity’s side. The bitter taste of envy brings us all down."

    **********************************************************************************************

    Perkins has two children, with his first wife, the late Gerd Thune-Ellefsen. After she died in 1994, he married romance novelist Danielle Steel in March 1998; her book The Klone and I was about their friendship. They separated in August 1999 and were later amicably divorced.
     
  3. Truth is everyone sucks 'cept you and me, and I'm not so sure about you.
     
  4. It's easy to mock him, but he has a point about the Obama policy of class warfare. It's like inflation. a little seems good, but it is easy for it to get out of control.

    When dysfunctional members of the underclass and disillusioned young people are constantly told that their problems are caused by rich people not "sharing the wealth", they are inclined to believe it. It is a short step from believing that it is perfectly legitimate for politicians to take from the rich to give supposedly to the poor to the idea that they can just skip the politicians and do it themselves.

    Then you have the sort of society you see in latin america where houses look like armed forts and school kids have to have armed guards. Of course, bringing in 30 million poor people from those countries wouldn't have any negative effect on us.
     


  5. Nazism, Liberalism, Progressive-ism, Socialism, Communism, Marxism, Dictators + DemoCraps in the USA... all forms of "big government State-ism", really.... all "birds of a feather".

    All are forms of government our genius Founders tried to make sure we've never have to suffer. And still... we PISSED IT ALL AWAY BECAUSE OF POLITOCOS' GREED AND LUST FOR POWER!
