Matthew Shepard Online Resources - Religious Right Hate Speech - Nazi Propaganda vs. Religious Right Anti-gay Rhetoric: "Welcome: Der ewige Jude ('The Eternal Jew') is often considered the most famous Nazi propaganda film. It was produced at the insistence of Joseph Goebbels, and depicts the Jews of Poland as corrupt, filthy, lazy, ugly, and perverse: they are an alien people who are taking over the world.

Fast forward to the 1990s.  United States Senator Paul Wellstone, himself Jewish, publicly took a religious right spokesman to task a few years back for anti-gay rhetoric that Wellstone felt was 'precisely the argument' the Nazis used to justify the Holocaust.

 

In an effort to see if Senator Wellstone is right - are fundamentalist Christians using anti-gay arguments that echo back to the Nazi era? - this page compares quotes from 'The Eternal Jew' with Christian conservatives' modern-day quotes about gay Americans.

Examine the quotes, and decide for yourself."
