Martin Niemoller spent seven years in Nazi concentration camps. Deplorable Pride's Brian Talbert is simply a delusional plagiarist.


The quote Talbert uses without attribution was written by Martin Niemoller, a German minister. He wrote it in 1946, and originally mentioned Communists. The text has often been altered by people wanting to use it to suit their own needs.

Niemoller (1892-1984) became a world-renowned peace activist. Talbert wants pre-emptive nuclear war on North Korea.

Niemoller was president of the World Council of Churches. You will struggle to find any religious content in Talbert's Facebook tantrums and self-glorifications.

Niemoller built a chapel at Dachau and guided visitors through his experience as a detainee. Talbert hasn't really done squat with his life. He also despises socialists, trade unionists, and, by associating himself unreservedly with the President's attaboys to Nazis, the Klan, and Christianists last week, can't think much of the Jews, either. That makes claiming gay conservatives are about to meet the same fate uniquely stupid, even by DP's published standard.
