Tom Perkins was right

Recently, Tom Perkins complained that attacks against the wealthy in Silicon Valley are similar to attacks by the Nazis against Jews in Germany during the 1930's.

Well, now, a local CBS affiliate in the Bay Area is reporting that vandals have spray painted Atherton homes with graffiti reading things like "Fuck the 1%" and "Kill People."

The US Holocaust Memorial Museum describes the boycotting of Jewish businesses under the Nazis as follows:

When the Nazis came to power, the lives of German Jews changed drastically. On April 1, 1933, the Nazis carried out the first nationwide, planned action against them: a boycott of Jewish businesses. ... On the day of the boycott, Storm Troopers stood menacingly in front of Jewish-owned shops. The six-pointed "Star of David " was painted in yellow and black across thousands of doors and windows. Signs were posted saying "Don't Buy from Jews" and "The Jews Are Our Misfortune." [emphasis added]

So, Tom Perkins was right. The parallels are clear. Just as right-wing Nazi thugs attacked the Jews in Germany and blamed them for the economic misfortunes of the time, now left-wing thugs in America, egged on by a President who denounces "income inequality," are attacking the Silicon Valley rich and blaming them for things like driving up rents in San Francisco.
