Why are you referring me to a link quoting Goerhing? What are you suggesting? How is that relevant? I have NEVER suggested anyone should not oppose the war or questioned anyone's patriotism.

enemy

What parallel do you think it suggests?

You refer to Goerhing. Neonazis refer to Goerhing. Am I allowed to draw any vile parallel as long as I end with a question mark?
