    "First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out
    because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade
    Unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Trade
    Unionist. Then they came for the jews, and just like everybody else, I
    did not speak out because I did not give a shit. Then they came for me
    and there was no one left to speak for me.

    One line altered, but otherwise it seems to be a faithful reproduction
    of the 1946 version.

    There are several variations of that quotation, and that one doesn't
    look at all authentic. Here's the one I've seen most often:


    First they came for the Communists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Communist

    Then they came for the Socialists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Socialist

    Then they came for the trade unionists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a trade unionist

    Then they came for the Jews
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Jew

    Then they came for me
    And there was no one left
    To speak out for me

    But what is the English usage question?

    How would a slant-eyed dimwit like you know? You follow a quack for
    medical and spiritual advice, and get all your information from apes.
    I posted this to AUE and some intelligent person pointed out that
    Communist was substituted for Socialist at some point. I would say
    perhaps that's what you were thinking but your pea-brain wouldn't have
    known that.

    There's a place for everything, and the place for slanted eyes is not
    here in America. Go back to whatever Asiatic shit hole you crawled out
    from under and please, take that Quack gook with you.

    Over a billion people regularly wake up to a pair of slant eyes
    every morning.

    Mark Zuckerberg is one of them.

    The woman in this picture if another one of them.
