NRA board member Ted Nugent, who recently got in some hot water for sharing anti-Semitic memes on his Facebook page, took to Facebook again today to post side-by-side photos of Adolf Hitler and Hillary Clinton, accompanied by two fake quotes.

Now sitback & enjoy the abject insanity as zombies squaller like rabid coons in denial! Bringit goofballs! tell us hillary isnt a lying felon & how dems support anything American. dare ya

It’s no surprise that Nugent, who has called Clinton a “worthless bitch” who should be executed, would share such a meme, which Snopes points out relies on unsubstantiated quotes:

The purported quotation from Hillary Clinton (“We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society”) has been widely reproduced online over the last several years and has been included in dozens of books; yet no one seems to know when, where, or in what context she supposedly said it. Some sources claim that Hillary Clinton uttered those words sometime in 1993 (during her initial year as First Lady) but provide no documentation beyond simply citing a year.

…

Given the complete lack of any documentation that Hillary Clinton actually spoke the words attributed to her, the likely conclusion is that this alleged Hitlerian echo quote is a fabricated “Hillariasm.”

Moreover, we came up short attempting to document the original quotation of Hitler’s that Hillary Clinton supposedly reflected with her own words. It appears to be, at best, a loose paraphrase of something Hitler once said (or someone’s idea of the type of thing Hitler might have said), as noted in the book From a Race of Masters to a Master Race:

Fascism, communism and national socialism all share in common the explicit premise that the individual must subordinate himself to society’s needs, or as Hitler would phrase it: ‘Society’s needs come before the individual needs.’

Even though Hitler led a political party known as the “National Socialist German Workers’ Party,” he was no socialist. In fact, he despised socialism and communism and worked to eradicate both those ideologies; the Nazism he espoused was a political ideology based on race, not class.

Finally, we note that whatever the truth of either quotation, this item is a prime example of the Reductio ad Hitlerum argument, a logical fallacy holding that a particular viewpoint is undeniably “bad” or “wrong” if it happens to have been shared by Hitler.
