And I did not speak out because I was not a hate speaker.
Then they came for the impolite speech, and I did not speak out because I was not an impolite speaker.

And everybody here knows it. His problem is that he’s not a Green. He says reasonable, grown-up, real-world things all day long.
That’s why he is “controversial.” That’s why the Greens have to kick him out. It’s like the SPD all over again with their heretic, Thilo Sarrazin. If you don’t follow the party line you’re history. Die Partei hat immer recht. The party is always right, especially when it’s left.
