Venture capitalist slammed for Kristallnacht comments: "The latest example is U.S. venture capitalist Thomas Perkins. In a letter to The Wall Street Journal, Perkins said that the "rising tide of hatred of the successful 1 percent" was akin to the persecution of the Jews during Nazi Germany.
Perkins' comments have been met with incredulity and criticism—not least given the timing of his comments: Today is Holocaust Memorial Day.
Regarding the anger directed toward the 1 percent, Perkins wrote: "This is a very dangerous drift in our American thinking. Kristallnacht was unthinkable in 1930; is its descendent 'progressive' radicalism unthinkable now?""
