Sorry to rain on your parade dimwits.
You are really bending over backwards to complain about someone using the wrong background footage. Do you stupid fucks know the difference between news and commentary?
Complaining about Hannity is like complaining that Rachel Maddow doesn't suck cock very well or that Keith Olberman beats his wife.
Keep watching Hannity like its the Zapruder film and get your news from Jon Stewart while the rest of us try to save this country from a fascist takeover of 1/6 of the economy, a massive debt collapse a la Soviet Union style, and a foreign policy fiasco compliments of the Kumbaya Kenyan.
  
I'm not much of a partisan, but I can't help but appreciate the inadvertent humor in all of this.

Aha. Avoiding and then obfuscating the topic at hand. Fox News has trained you very well, young Skywalker.
Yes, all the while believing that he is actually fighting for & making a difference - another trait of the conservative scumbags.

I thought they were supposed to be communists. Can't you guys pick a ill-conceived reductionist buzzword and stick with it?
Hmmm. I'm still wondering why the media refuses to label Obama's war in Afghanistan as a "quagmire." If Bush was still in office, they would be hoping for the war to go poorly, just so they could throw that label on it and try to compare the whole thing to Vietnam.

That still doesn't change the fact that Hannity was using footage of a 9/12 rally to make it look like Bachman's recent rally was overwhelmingly attended.
Is that really a big deal? Is it as bad as inflating all the numbers about jobs which have been "saved?" I heard one company was instructed to use the stimulus money to give out raises and that they should report every 1% salary increase as a job "saved" by ObamaBucks. Like if a company has 500 employees and gives everyone a 2% raise, it counts as 1,000 jobs saved.

I'm not going to defend Hannity but I would point out that MSNBC has had a history of clearly cherry picking footage to distort the actual mood and representation of Tea Party rallies as well.

As an aside, if you're getting your news from John Stewart and/ or Steven Colbert, you're a bigger douche than anyone who swears by Hannity, Back, sweet lil' Andy Cooper, or Maddow. I think Colbert is a comic genius, but a newsman he ain't.

If communism and nazism are two sides of the same coin, why did German industrials led by Fritz Thyssen donate three million marks to the NSDAP to help them consolidate power in March 1933? Although Hitler did sponsor some state-owned enterprises (Kraftdurchfreudewagen/Volkswagen) for the most part the Nazis were a friend of German big business. Nazism is also distinct from Communism in that it preaches the national and ethnic superiority of the Aryan race and hatred of Jews as a race. 
I said Fascism, not Nazism, which was an offshoot of Fascism which was an offshot of Socialism. But I'll play. The Holocaust is their (the Nazi's) greatest claim, to fame. But at the time, rthey were known for a few other things. The Holocaust wasn't general knowledge until 1943ish. That's 10 years of Nationasl Socialism running the show, and 20 years since they were a major force in German politics. That said, the Communists weren't very kind to religious Jews.
Now, can't speak for the motives of someone who lived 60 years ago, but there could be a few reasons. They knew which side of the struggle was most likely to win the battle for power in post WW1 Germany. And they were going to be sure to be on that side, because all sides had made it very clear that they didn't suffer those who weren't with them lightly. Maybe they were fellow travellers, who knows? The fact is, if you didn't play ball with the Nazis, the best you could hope for was being an official puppet as opposed to an unofficial one. The head of Krupp was run out when he started to speak out that der Fuhrer might be a bit meshuggah and replaced by a nephew or something who was a bit more pliable. A dirty secret of politics is that big corporations give money to both side, so no matter who wins, they still come out on top. In Thyssen's case, I think he had drunk the KoolAid. Maybe not. I really don't know. But I think it's safe tom say it was more than one thing that made his decision for him. It's never as easy as "oh, that Dolfy is a hoot. I'll give him cash, then have a bratwurst and kraut while I wear my lederhausen (jondra)".
It was a no win for anyone. The Nazis or the Communists would win. And at least with the Nazis you muight be able to stay alive and be the presumptive head of your company, if you followed the Party line. With the Communists, you were pretty likely to be put up against the wall as an Enemy of the People.

All of this history talk makes me want to look up the roots of steel company, Thyssen-Krupp.

False dichotomy, German industrialists were not faced with a choice between Nazism and Communism. They could have supported Reichskanzler Generalleutenant Kurt von Schleicher, who was willing to put together a coalition of the non-Nazi right, the Catholic Zentrum, and the Social Democrats. The German Nazis' big business supporters saw an opportunity to create a reactionary dictatorship to crush not only German Communism, but also German Social Democracy, and pro-labor "Catholic action" based German Zentrum. The resulting Nazi dictatorship crushed the German trade unions, outlawing them on May 2, 1933, and awarded huge government contracts to Thyssen, Krupp, Bayer, and other large German privately owned corporations, allowing them to make superprofits. This profitable arrangement continued through World War II, when privately owned German corporations raked in super duper profits from using slave laborers from countries conquered by Germany. Doesn't even smell like socialism to me.

Query whether Leni Fiefenstahl came back from the dead to handle the filming? 
BTW I would have happily filled all three of Leni's whole back in the 30s.
