Andrew Bolt: Leftist hysteria over Donald Trump shows hypocrisy

TALK about projection. Now the hysterical Left thinks President Donald Trump is a new Hitler, writes Andrew Bolt.

TALK about projection. Now the hysterical Left thinks President Donald Trump is a new Hitler.

Our taxpayer-funded ABC even devoted a program on the alleged similarities between the elected US President and the Jew-slaughtering dictator.

“Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler share a contempt of the courts and the law,” Late Night Live’s blurb claims.

“There are also parallels in the way in which both leaders have been regarded as crazy and irrational.”

Meanwhile, The Age reported booksellers were banning Dangerous, a yet unwritten book by a prominent Trump supporter, British journalist Milo Yiannopoulos, now on his Dangerous Faggot speaking tour of American universities.

One of the book-banners is Jon Page, owner of online retailer Boomerang Books, who denounced Yiannopoulos for being “far Right” and anti-Islam.

“While I am a passionate believer in free speech and would never ban a book, views such as Milo Yiannopoulos should not be allowed to take root in our society,” he said.

Hmm. A “passionate believer in free speech” who does not trust his own customers to read and decide for themselves?

But here is the strange thing: Yiannopoulos is gay and Jewish.

He perfectly fits the stereotype of a victim of the hard Right.

Truth is, Yiannopoulos is actually more a libertarian, and as a gay and Jew fears Islam threatens his freedom, which brings us to the true craziness of the Left’s mad new Nazi-hunt.

It is actually the Left which, like Hitler’s Brown Shirts, uses street brawlers to shut down meetings — ones here featuring Pauline Hanson, Geert Wilders and Cory Bernardi, and ones at American universities with Yiannopoulos.

It is the Left, not the Right, that is banning books.

It is the Left, not the Right, which demands tough laws against free speech such as the notorious Racial Discrimination Act, used to sue students complaining against racial segregation at their university.

It is the Left, not the Right, that demands apartheid, including constitution changes to divide Aborigines and non-Aborigines.

It is the Left, not the Right, that has been mute while Islamic State supporters throw gays off tall buildings in Syria and slaughter 49 people at a gay club in Florida.

Here’s a tip to Leftists itching to fight the Nazis of their times: Take out your smartphone. Take a selfie. Behold the enemy.
