Then, .@patricklenton, why don't you read the article, as you obviously haven't? If you can find anything inaccurate in it, do let me know. https://t.co/HB5ALORbcu . More details here : https://t.co/Zf97tfQjhJ — PolitiTweet.org

.@poisonousplum. I am certainly very worried about the extinction of liberty in our society, but I don't notice the classical left putting up much of a fight to save it. As a Christian , I confess my sins at least weekly. I *know* I am one of the baddies. — PolitiTweet.org

2/3 .@poisonousplum Though it is worth noting that the German Communists referred to Social Democrats as 'Social Fascists' when the two parties refused to combine against Hitler. Yet the Nazis and the Communists worked together in a joint Berlin tram strike. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

1/3 @poisonousplum AS everyone ought to know by now, the word 'fascism' has no meaning at all. As George Orwell said in 1946: 'The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies ‘something not desirable’. https://t.co/souF9GfqBI — PolitiTweet.org

Lying, .@TypingOfTheRed? About what have I lied? Give details (it's all right, I know you can't. I just enjoy pointing out to bloviating windbags such as yourself that they aren't even any good at attacking me). — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@barbarasutton15. Congratulations, you just joined a mob. You have not read the article, or considered it, have you? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@sheilascoular . Consider the possibility that it is wise (and adult) to read articles before attacking them, and that the intelligent person's response to an unexpected point of view is to examine it, not run away, shrieking and shouting perosnal insults at the author. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

I am not your dude, .@josh418. My article is about what the Nazis *did*, (always the best way of judging someone's character and aims) not about what they said. You really ought to read it. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@otto_english, I have seen no reason, from your tweets so far, why you should consider yourself in a position to call anyone else 'dumb'. You won't engage like an adult. My article (which you still haven't read) is about what the Nazis *did* - not about what they *said*. — PolitiTweet.org

'For progressives, the Nazi era has been a moral scripture & a source of certainties. The left have managed to associate the Hitler period with the political and moral right. Here, they insist, is every aspect of conservatism in full power.' https://t.co/Zf97tfQjhJ — PolitiTweet.org

For anyone actually interested in facts and reason about the leftism in practice of National Socialism, this may help https://t.co/Zf97tfQR7h — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@aaronbastani And I'm sure you know who the first people sent to Solovyetsky were, and what Solovyetsky was, unlike the howling mob who keep making this non-point. You might also consider who died in the Night of the Long Knives This logic won't work. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@geraint_1966, a powerful argument ...if Stalin had not also put socialists and communists in camps and murdered them, so was Stalin right wing? And do you think there were independent unions under Communism? Check it out. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

2/2 .@louiserawauthor. I do recommend you to read the article which you are attacking, as you obviously haven't. You've just joined a mob, which is a bit hameful. I wouldn't attack your books without reading them. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

1/2 .@louiserawauthor. You are of course aware that Stalin killed many German Communists who sought refuge in Moscow, and hecatombs of Soviet ones. Does that make him right-wing? And you will know that the NKVD and Gestapo exchanged prisoners in 1939. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@fascinatorfun . Did we not have another exchange some months ago? If it is as I remember, you still have not learned to argue (odd in a lawyer). What you need to do is to examine my case, and then respond to it using facts and logic. Insults and swearing just don't do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@filledire. Thank you so much for lowering the tone to beyond rock bottom, thus revealing the pitiable emptiness of your head. Why did *either* of us have to die? I could be excused for swearing at you in response to this, but will not. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

No, @supertankskiii. I have retained my ability to read and think, having escaped the joke 'education' that you were subjected to. In this way I am able to examine unfamiliar and surprising facts with a reasoning mind, rather than running away from them in shock and fright. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@grannygal. You are right that the free countries of the world behaved disgracefully over Jewish refugees in the 1930s. Can you point me to any country from which migrants seek to access the UK where any ethnic group is subject to anything comparable to the Nuremberg Laws? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

On the contrary, .@divinadecampo . I know it is true and have adduced strong evidence for it in the linked article, which you obviously have not bothered to read. Ignorance is Strength, as usual. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@Otto_english, why do you 'stand by' empty abuse, when you could argue, using facts and reason? It's easy to guess why, and my conclusion is that you're afraid to argue the matter. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

So what, exactly .@otto_english? I think you've attacked my article without reading it, and see no sign here that you are not just an artificially furious windbag, raving at an idea he's not considered before. The best way to judge the Nazis is by what they *did*. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

1/2 .@tomcoates, Are you simple-minded? Who were the first inmates of the original Gulag camp at Solovyetsky? Why, non-Bolshevik socialists and anarchists. Does this make Stalin right-wing? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

You know nothing , @hugh_canning. I am an opponent of Mr Farage, and did not campaign or vote for leave. Because, you see, I have an independent mind, and don't mind swimming against the stream. Whereas you are just another mouth in the mob, yelling abuse. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@VernonRabbetts . On the contrary, I gained (and gain) enormously from my late brother's life and example. You, on the other hand, must be bereft of arguments if you need to descend to this six-year-old bilge. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Yeah .@Tommy12121271, CH was *so* intelligent that he (following conventional wisdom at the time) believed in WMD and supported the stupidest war in modern history. I, the dim one, took the opposite view, against the stream. Interested in knowing how you measure these things. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

This is just abuse, Michael Volpe OBE (!) .@noisymv . Do you have any arguments or facts, have you actually read the article, or do you just believe in shouting down anyone who says anything you disagree with? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Do not, whatever you do, reveal its location .@chimewhistle. — PolitiTweet.org

'I get into the most terrible trouble for pointing that sex education, or whatever it is called this year, is fundamentally bogus – a scheme pursued by weird people to make it legal to talk dirty to children. ' https://t.co/jk2Sh2uRwI — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Really, .@merchant_amyn? Of all the possible interpretations of my article, this seems the most fantastically wrong and baseless, in a strong field. — PolitiTweet.org
