John Bevilaqua Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Guess what? The term I personally originated in the late 1980's or the early 1990's "Reich Wing" has now officially become part of the American lexicon and taxonomy. I coulda been a contendah! And the person I introduced to the JFK community in 1993-1994, Wickliffe P. Draper has been mentioned in over 100 books since that date in 1994 when The Bell Curve was published. Without the extra publicity of The Bell Curve, he would have been ignored. Now HE was a contendah..... Entry from January 09, 2010 Reich-wing (Third Reich + right wing) "Reich-wing” (also “reich wing” and “reichwing,” with or without capitalization) is an epithet from the political left wing directed to the right wing. “Nazi” became a popular political epithet in the 1990s, and “reich” is from the Nazi “Third Reich.” The Village Voice used the title “Reich-Wing Republican” to describe white nationalist Devid Duke in October 1991, but this use is possibly specific to Duke’s political career. “CONSERVATIVES are REICH-WING” has been a bumper sticker since September 1994. “Reich-wing” has been used on many political blogs in the 2000s. Urban Dictionary Reich-wing Reich-wing (Reich-winger): A pejorative noun or adjective. 1: A political ideology with extremely radical, distorted, &/or illogical views further to the right of the political spectrum than main-stream conservatives.

Skilled at using proven propaganda techniques and tactics that were artfully developed and practiced by members of Hitler’s Third Reich. These tactics include but are not limited to: repeating proven, demonstrated, &/or obvious lies (Big Lie), never acknowledging errors and belittling opponents. Techniques include appealing to racism, bigotry, xenophobia, homophobia, and misogyny; ridiculing physical traits of opponents, and personally insulting opponents. 3: A group of people who express those views and opinions. It is a particularly useful term to cause people hearing or reading it to unconsciously associate those engaging in such tactics with the Nazi regime. Adj: The majority of top rated radio talk show hosts are Reich-wing propagandists. Noun: The Reich-wing is a blight on civil discuss. That Reich-winger is a very hateful person. by PlacitasRoy Apr 4, 2009 Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary Main Entry: right wing Function: noun Date: 1856 1 : the rightist division of a group or party 2 : right 8 — right–wing \ˈrīt-ˈwiŋ, -ˌwiŋ\ adjective — right–wing·er \ˈrīt-ˈwiŋ-ər, ˌrīt-\ noun Wikipedia; Nazi Germany Nazi Germany and the Third Reich are the common English names for Germany between 1933 and 1945, while it was led by Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Worker’s Party (NSDAP). The name Third Reich (Drittes Reich, “Third Reich") refers to the state as the successor to the Holy Roman Empire of the Middle Ages and the German Empire of 1871–1918. In German, the state was known as Deutsches Reich (German Reich) until 1943, when its official name became Großdeutsches Reich (Greater German Reich).

Although he initially headed a coalition government, he quickly eliminated his government partners. 29 October 1991, Village Voice (New York, NY): Reich-Wing Republican By Doug Ireland (Story about David Duke—ed.)
