Media ethics writer compares Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler

[Rotagilla]

Please quote the statement Trump said that is racist. Do it now, put the quote up for everyone to see.

You cannot do it because it does not exist.

While what Trump said was reprehensible, this quote may actually be completely inaccurate. Even by changing what he said, I still see his statement as very problematic, but let's look at his statement the way he actually probably meant it. "They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, their rapists, and some I assume are good people."

I don't think anyone can know for certain which statement is accurate. Neither is good, but their is a very big difference in the two.

Here is Trump's actual quote per the Washington Post:

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

Donald Trump’s false comments connecting Mexican immigrants and crime

So did the Washington Post receive a written transcript from Trump's people with the speech that shows it written that way, or did they just make an assumption? I don't know the answer to that, so that is why I'm asking.

one of his main positions relates to illegals crossing the border and committing crimes...Illegals...the media and both political parties are scared to death and they are pulling out all the stops to confuse, create fear and uncertainty about trump because he can upset ALL their apple carts if people continue to listen to him and clean house politically...so they try to cherry pick and purposely misconstrue anything he says...people are noticing, too.

HITLER COMES TO POWER

In the early 1930s, the mood in Germany was grim. The worldwide economic depression had hit the country especially hard, and millions of people were out of work. Still fresh in the minds of many was Germany's humiliating defeat fifteen years earlier during World War I, and Germans lacked confidence in their weak government, known as the Weimar Republic. These conditions provided the chance for the rise of a new leader, Adolf Hitler, and his party, the National Socialist German Workers' Party, or Nazi party for short.

Hitler was a powerful and spellbinding speaker who attracted a wide following of Germans desperate for change. He promised the disenchanted a better life and a new and glorious Germany. The Nazis appealed especially to the unemployed, young people, and members of the lower middle class (small store owners, office employees, craftsmen, and farmers).

The party's rise to power was rapid. Before the economic depression struck, the Nazis were practically unknown, winning only 3 percent of the vote to the Reichstag (German parliament) in elections in 1924. In the 1932 elections, the Nazis won 33 percent of the votes, more than any other party. In January 1933 Hitler was appointed chancellor, the head of the German government, and many Germans believed that they had found a savior for their nation.

Hitler Comes to Power

So, 33% of German voters chose Hitler. They would live to regret it.

Trump is not Hitler. It's silly to even make such a suggestion.

No, he's not Hitler - but Trump is peddling similar snake oil to unfairly paint a group of people as evil.

 

[Papageorgio]

Left wing drama, just compare someone to Hitler. Lol!

Compare a liberal to Hitler and they all come unglued.

You're off topic on your own thread. Hitler duped millions of people and they paid the price, you'd be wise to learn the lesson

I am exactly on point. Let's hope that Trump doesn't "dupe millions of people" and rise to power.

You're so full of hyperbole. If anyone could be compared to Hitler it would be Obama, in some instances it's almost uncanny

Not a chance. He's just riling up the pitchforks in pointy hats, who need to blame someone for their lot in life. Typical America in hard times.

There is a huge problem with what he has been saying though. He is making the claim that Mexico is sending us all of the people they do not want. The fact is that Mexicans crossing the border illegally at present is an extremely low percentage of the total. The vast majority of people coming into the US illegally now are from Central America. They are coming through Mexico, but they are not Mexican, so "The Donald" is feeding us a bunch of hyperbole to excite the masses against Mexicans, and that is wrong. If you listen to the debate, Marco Rubio pointed this out, but nobody seemed to be paying attention to the facts.

"U.S. Xenophobia and Racism - The Presence of the Past
By Dr. Alex Mikulich, JSRI Research Fellow

Current anti-immigrant sentiment, largely focused on the influx of Mexican and Latino newcomers—and the fact that Latinos, along with African Americans and Asian peoples, are projected to represent a majority of the U.S. population by 2042—decries the fact that, in the words of former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan “they are taking our country away from us.”1 The fear, bluntly stated, is that “they”—Mexicans and Latinos—will erode “our”—white European—power over U.S. identity. Buchanan articulates only the most recent U.S. American antiimmigrant animosity that finds deep roots in the nation’s history."

Godwin’s Law has come to the 2016 election.

A commentary published Monday on the website of Poynter, a journalism institute based in Florida, invoked a comparison between Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler.

“Can Trump win? It seems unlikely, especially after this weekend. Of course that is what the media said about a funny-looking spewer of hate with an odd mustache who was dismissed as an awful public speaker and not a serious candidate in Germany in the 1930s,” wrote media ethicist Kelly McBride and medical ethicist Art Caplan.

Rather than laughing, they wrote, news organizations need to hold Trump and the Republican Party “accountable” for what he says.

“We certainly have a more robust political system than 1930s Germany,” they wrote. “But Trump’s racist rhetoric should be viewed in the repugnant tradition of Hitler. When you call all Mexicans rapists, criminals, losers, and the source of disease (that last claim was an old Nazi favorite), when you disparage Mexican-Americans at every turn as the cause of all the country’s woes, and when you have the money to get you message out, journalists should take you seriously.”

“Such speech is a classic ploy to sow divisiveness and generate fear. That his message finds a home at all should be alarming. It’s one thing to argue about immigration policies. It’s a completely different thing to condemn an entire ethnic group. (Imagine if Trump were saying these things about Jews?),” they wrote.

Media ethics writer compares Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler

Trump may be mesmerizing and refreshing to some - but to others he is scary. Aside from being morally repugnant, much of what he advocates is simply not possible - physically or financially.

I support racism only because it pisses off the left.

trump knows who is coming and where they are coming from..it's no secret they're swarming in..with help from mexico...but you guys want to play word games and look for ways to demean and disparage...I dispute your claims about the numbers, though I know for a fact that you have no idea..our own government has no idea.

compare mexico's immigration laws versus ours.

• Foreigners are admitted into Mexico “according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress.” (Article 32)

• Immigration officials must “ensure” that “immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance” and for their dependents. (Article 34)

• Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets “the equilibrium of the national demographics,” when foreigners are deemed detrimental to “economic or national interests,” when they do not behave like good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican laws, and when “they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy.” (Article 37)

• The Secretary of Governance may “suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest.” (Article 38)
  
  

• Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities upon request, i.e., to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants. (Article 73)

• A National Population Registry keeps track of “every single individual who comprises the population of the country,” and verifies each individual’s identity. (Articles 85 and 86)

• A national Catalog of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants (Article 87), and assigns each individual with a unique tracking number (Article 91).
  
  

• Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned. (Article 116)

• Foreigners who sign government documents “with a signature that is false or different from that which he normally uses” are subject to fine and imprisonment. (Article 116)
  
  

• Foreigners who fail to obey a deportation order are to be punished. (Article 117)

• Foreigners who are deported from Mexico and attempt to re-enter the country without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. (Article 118)

• Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa may be sentenced to up to six years in prison (Articles 119, 120 and 121). Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa while in Mexico — such as working with out a permit — can also be imprisoned.

• “A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five thousand pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally.” (Article 123)

• Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from Mexico instead of being imprisoned. (Article 125)

• Foreigners who “attempt against national sovereignty or security” will be deported. (Article 126)
• 
  
• A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in the country is subject to up to five years in prison. (Article 127)

• Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into Mexico will be fined. (Article 132)

Many things wrong with this piece. First, the media is a much different animal now then in the 30s. 24/7 new cycles, TV, Internet etc. Back then it was newspapers. Second, many people saw Hitler as a contender and a great speech maker. Amazing how someone can write such a thing. Third Hitler lost the presidential election. He was appointed chancellor to try to subdue him. Fourth, Hitler preached a Great War and vile antisemitism to which he acted on. Fifth, people are not writing off Trump. I believe many think he will win. Sixth, Trump did not preach genocide or even xenophobia. He stated some of those pouring over the border are rapist and drug dealers and he is 100% right! His has a honorable stance on ending illegal immigration. He has said nothing about get rid of Hispanic Americans!

Another liberal hack piece!
