At the Take Back America Conference in St. Louis last week, a woman named Kitty Werthmann gave a lecture titled "How to recognize living under Nazis and Communists," in which she urged listeners to "buy more guns" in order to fight "a bloody battle" against socialism.

Werthmann grew up as a Christian in Nazi-controlled Austria, and has been preaching that America is turning into Hitler's Germany for years. At the conference -- headlined by Mike Huckabee, Michele Bachmann and Steve King, among others -- she spoke to an overflowing room about the parallels between 1930s Austria and today's America.

"If we had our guns, we would have fought a bloody battle. So, keep your guns, and buy more guns, and buy ammunition. ... Take back America. Don't let them take the country into socialism," she said, according to Think Progress.

One audience member asked what they should do if they were asked to give up their guns.

"Don't you dare give up your guns!" Werthmann cried, according to the Washington Independent. "Never, never, never!"

"Give them back one bullet at a time!" called out another activist. The room reportedly broke into laughter.

Werthmann was introduced by Janet Porter, who compared Mark Lloyd, the chief diversity officer at the Federal Communications Commission (or "diversity czar") to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels. (Lloyd is under fire from Glenn Beck and the like for his past proposals to have private broadcasters supply more funding for public broadcasting.)

Kinda makes us want to start working on a workshop titled, "How to recognize living among the batshit insane."
