BELOW IS THE TEXT OF MR. PERKINS ENTIRE LETTER TO THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
Regarding your editorial "Censors on Campus" (Jan. 18): Writing from the epicenter
of progressive thought, San Francisco, I would call attention to the parallels
of fascist Nazi Germany to its war on its "one percent," namely its
Jews, to the progressive war on the American one percent, namely the "rich."
From the Occupy movement to the demonization of the rich
embedded in virtually every word of our local newspaper, the San Francisco
Chronicle, I perceive a rising tide of hatred of the successful one percent.
There is outraged public reaction to the Google buses carrying technology
workers from the city to the peninsula high-tech companies which employ them.
We have outrage over the rising real-estate prices which these "techno
geeks" can pay. We have, for example, libelous and cruel attacks in the Chronicle
on our number-one celebrity, the author Danielle Steel, alleging that she is a
"snob" despite the millions she has spent on our city's homeless and
mentally ill over the past decades.
This is a very dangerous drift in our American thinking.
Kristallnacht was unthinkable in 1930; is its descendent
"progressive" radicalism unthinkable now?
