But their Leader, Rohm, had a different vision for Germany than Hitler did. So, to help consolidate his power, and build himself up as the defender of Germany, he painted the leaders of the SA as anti-German, and had them eliminated. Thus eliminating the threat to his own power, and solidifying his position as the great patriotic leader. Right now, the left, while not totally co-opting the OWS movement, is not exactly hostile to them. But it is obvious that they have different visions, and in the end they will be hung out to dry. They will be remembered as nothing more than useful idiots.</blockquote>
