   Now if BroBama is a National Socialist or an Internationalist we shall see but he and his Fellow Travelers are fascist no matter how you put it. The man does refer to himself as a Citizen of the World.

   He is an arrogant jerk but he is from Chicago and Hawaii and perhaps Kenya so the Cult of Personality is to be expected.

   Some folks are invoking Nazi allusions against Barack Obama.

   Imagine that.

   I’ve pretty much stayed away from using such rhetoric against those with whom I disagree — especially having been on the receiving end of Nazi allusions myself countless times over the years.

   That is commendable. I only like to point out that National Socialism is closer to the left’s ideology than ours. I’ve been called that a few times myself.

   Besides, it drives them crazy! It’s a weakness, poking at them like I do.

    You’ve got to be kidding me. I thought dissent was patriotic, libs! I’m not one to use Nazi and Hitler comparisons myself as they diminish the evil of the real thing – but after eight years of the BusHitler crap, NOW it’s suddenly time for everyone to shut up and get behind the President? I’m sure the stock liberal answer will be something like, “Well, you see, Bush actually really was a fascist, so the comparison is valid. With Obama it’s just mean and unfair.” In this universe, where everything you agree with is golden and everything that contradicts you is the devil, it’s OK to quash dissent, because that dissent, unlike the righteous dissent that was preached for the last eight years, is evil and hateful.

    Let’s keep being patriotic, kids! I’m not going to stop pointing out the Chosen One’s errors, like this disastrous stimulus and move toward bank nationalization, even if I’m accused of “wanting the President to fail.” What a pathetic and lame charge that is. Yes, everyone should subjugate their own views and opinions in the interest of getting along now.

    And honestly, to see the roles reversed this dramatically and this soon into the Presidency surprises me.

    How stupid is Obama? Very stupid.

    Using a screen is nothing new for Obama; almost nothing he said in supposedly unscripted townhall events during the presidential campaign was unscripted, down to many of the questions and the answers to those questions. Teleprompter screens at the events scrolled not only his opening remarks, but also statistics and information he could use to answer questions.

    “It would be the same idea with the podium,” says the adviser.

    Obama had a teleprompter set up for his remarks last week, before taking questions, but the White House couldn’t use the teleprompter for anything but the remarks, because the journalists were so close to the screens. Further complicating matters, teleprompter copy can’t be easily updated in real time, in a setting like a White House press conference.

    The real President of these United States is whoever feeds this dummy his lines.

    I guess the economy is getting them to cut back on expenses too.

    Fascism is an authoritarian nationalist ideology focused on solving economic, political, and social problems that its supporters see as causing national decline or decadence. Fascists aim to create a single-party state in which the government is led by a dictator who seeks unity by requiring individuals to subordinate self-interest to the collective interest of the nation, a race or even a social class.

    Obama seems more a fascist than Bush, perhaps that portrayal is accurate!

    The only people I’ve compared to Nazis in the past are Feminists. 55 million babies and counting certainly qualifies. But I see many similarities in ideology in Obama, and his wanting a National Security force makes my skin crawl.

    At what point do you stand up to a Hitleresque person? Before or after they come for your guns? Before or after they impliment their National Security force so you can no longer resist? At what EXACT point should the Germans have said ‘Oh wait.’

    This guy has sat under a lunatic preacher of hate for 20 years. Friends with unrepentant terrorists and written books about bringing “an Empire to its knees.” Clearly he has attempted to shut down dissent through lawyers, courts and now the ‘Fairness Doctrine.’ He foments contention between the races, rather than attempting to unite. And we all know he’s corrupt through and through.

    He’s just increased our National debt by 1/3 in one bill!

    How far do we allow it to go before we say, ‘Oh wait.’

    For far too many years I believed in the “taking the high road” policy and not stooping to the level of liberals. That’s fine amongst those who have a brain and use it occasionally…it’s also a little like going to a gunfight armed with only a knife. I had issues over Bush, but on the whole thought pretty well of his presidency; I’m also a veteran, so I resented that much more the liberals and their hate-spewing against my country and president, especially with the nazi symbolics. Now, or at least since Jan 20, I hear from the liberals that we all need to “reach out,” to give the president time, to come together as a country and take a dip in the bipartisan bathtub of life. Newsflash…I intend to treat obummer with the same exact respect and deference as President Bush was treated, no more, no less. What is good for the goose is good for the gander, and while two wrongs don’t make a right, it may have the function of educating our common sense challenged friends on the left as to what goes around, comes around. I have the added benefit of being right; obama-hama is on track to make a greater mess of things in his first 100 days than any other president. He’s already managed to show our enemies how weak he is, our friends how faithless he is, the lawful how unaccountable he is, the responsible how unresponsible he is. It will take decades, if at all possible, to undo the damage he and his fellow criminals/shysters/tax dodgers are doing, so I will take every opportunity to point out his shortcomings (not like I’ll have to look very hard) and I’ll do so in as polite and bipartisan spirit as ever did a pelosi, a reid, or a clinton. LGM and his fellow useful idiots can whine all they want about how unfair it is and how we’re not giving him a chance, but I think I’m being very nice and forgiving when I say I’ll stoop to their level and no lower (and my instinct is to go to a gunfight armed with phalanx!) Thank you MM for pointing out the massive, vile inducing hypocrisy of the left for one and all to see!

    [Nikolai] Yezhov was known as a determined loyalist of Joseph Stalin, and in 1935 he wrote a paper in which he argued that political opposition must eventually lead to violence and terrorism; this became in part the ideological basis of the purges.

    That was a tiny swastika, easy to miss or care about. What about the scattered few that held signs with small hammer-and-sickle symbols? The hypocrites of the looney left are easy to outrage and manipulate, as stated at the end of this article:
    

    “Somehow, however, the Western intelligentsia still has a blind spot about, even a soft spot for, communism. Yet the hammer and sickle is no less drenched in innocent blood than the swastika.”

    It could be worse. The only sign I saw Michelle holding was one against the Fairness Doctrine. Just imagine the reaction if Michelle put her hand on the sign because the wind blew it out of his hand. It would be like the movie scene in “Modern Times” when Charlie Chaplin waved the red flag that fell off the lumber truck.

    And when, lgm, are you going to criticize Obama’s associations – which are much deeper and longer held – with folks like Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, etc.? Or do only conservatives have to do a thorough background check on someone they talk to for 5 minutes? Because liberals sure do seem to absolve themselves of guilt-by-association even when they’re relatively or deeply intimate with a person. Conservatives even so much as look at someone with a questionable background, and we’re cavorting with criminals.

    Thanks for acknowledging socialism’s bloody history. Funny that we so readily embrace a guy who’s willing to give it a second shot.

    But if the Democrats’ policies reflect those of Stalin, that’s not a slur – it’s an accurate observation. Democrats are enamored with socialism and are dying to implement policies (like in Europe) that are killing the economy and causing untold problems.

    Then there is the fact that you tolerate posts on your blog that call miscellaneous people Nazi, etc.

    As for this, Michelle is pretty clear on her terms of use that she doesn’t hold any liability for what people comment here.

    I do not own your comments and I expressly disclaim any and all liability that may result from them. By commenting on my site, you agree that you retain all ownership rights in what you post here and that you will relieve me from any and all liability that may result from those postings.

    So nice try, but no.

    Until every single liberal apologizes for the Bush=Hitler/Chimpy McHitler slurs, I don’t take any liberal’s incredulous anger over a casual photo seriously.

    It’s hypocritical. Period.

    Yes, it is funny that the Daily Kos community can’t stand even one stray Nazi swastika in their direction. While implies that they like the Soviet hammer and sickle, which should really be an even more horrible symbol as so much MORE evil was done in its name.

    And, to lighten the mood, I think our Michelle would look really good wearing a hat similar to the one in the stupid poster. Kind of the way Marlene Dietrich could wear even men’s hats and still look very feminine.

    I already know that he thinks doctors should be able to perform abortions on demand for birth control; he has said so on this site. But the Nazis had ‘doctors’ killing babies during the third reich (amongst others) and the similarity is lost on him…

    So, it’s ok to call Bush a Nazi, but not those who perform abortions on demand, or someone who supports something as heinous as ‘partial birth’ abortion…

    “At the Governor’s request, we reviewed the situation to determine whether we were in full compliance with the pertinent Internal Revenue Service regulations,” Kreitzer wrote. “As a result of this review, we determined that per diem needs to be treated as income, requiring a revision of W-2 forms for any affected employees.”

    Apparently you missed this part. And as a former recipient of per diem (separate rations, in the military) let me point out that tax law is frequently far from clear whether it’s income or not. And if it wasn’t on her W-2, there’s no reason to think she knew, either. Unlike Geithner, for instance, who not only was reimbursed for the taxes he wasn’t paying, he was also the recipient of documentation confirming that he owed taxes on the money. But don’t let that bother you. Just remember, pretty much everybody who pays taxes makes mistakes on their 1040s at one time or other. Of course, that doesn’t apparently apply to you welfare queens.

    Oh by the way, maybe you missed this part too:

    The revelation about Palin comes as U.S. senators, including Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, are under scrutiny over back taxes. A survey by the political newspaper and Web site Politico (www.politico.com) found that Begich was one of seven senators who acknowledged owing back taxes.

    Some other state employees also owe back income taxes for travel payments and will be getting revised tax forms, Annette Kreitzer, state administration commissioner, said in an e-mail.

    I’ve noticed that one of the tactics of the radical left is to accuse the right of wrongdoings that the right is innocent of and that they themselves (the radical left) are guilty of!

    This tactic puts the right on the defensive, trying to explain how they are not guilty of this wrongdoing, and prevents the right from going on the offensive (about the left’s guilt of this very same wrongdoing).

    If the right accuses the left of what the left has already accused the right,
    it comes across like a childhood playground issue of:

    I know you are, but what am I?

    Some examples:
    Hillary Clinton’s claim of a “Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy”.

    There was not a “Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy”, but there certainly is a “Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy” (including followers fo Saul Alinsky like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama).

    Bush was not even close to being like Hitler, but 8 years of “Bush-Hitler” claims have been to diffuse any comparisons now between the current Usurper-in-Chief and Hitler.

    I didn’t miss any of those parts, or this:

    Palin billed the state for 312 nights spent in her Wasilla home during her first 19 months in office, according to the Washington Post. She received $60 a day tax free, money intended to cover meals and incidentals, while traveling on state business.

    Oh — and I didn’t miss the part where you scrambled to come up with an excuse (by mentioning other people who owe back taxes, which strikes me as not wholly unlike when children apply the “But he did it too!” excuse to absolve themselves of some wrongdoing) for her misuse of funds.

    posted at 10:24 am on July 20, 2008 by Ed Morrissey

    After receiving a hailstorm of criticism for considering Brandenburg Gate for a public speech, as well as official German dissuasion, Barack Obama moved the venue to the Siegessäule monument. Obama will speak about “historic” US-German relations, but once again, Obama’s own grasp of history has been proven deficient. Not only does the site contain a monument to Prussian victories over other American allies in Europe, its placement was decided by Adolf Hitler — in order to impress crowds in his idealized version of Berlin called Germania:

    Considering the way the sign is tucked away from Michelle, it doesn’t prove much of anything. Given the activity of the crowd, it’s possible that Michelle didn’t even see the sign until she saw this photo.

    That contrasts greatly with the denials by President Obama and his association with William Ayers for which you give him a pass.

    We all know you have a thing about being highly insulted by Nazi symbols, but it is remarkable that you only comment on it when it’s aimed at you or otherwise associated with liberals.

    We want to know, lgm, why you weren’t protesting when Bush was being compared to Hitler?

    You’re there proudly posing with a sign calling Obama a Nazi.

    No, she’s politely taking a picture with someone that asked her. The image of the swastika is not present in the picture the man was taking, but in a picture someone else was taking of them. How do you get “pride” over the sign from that?

    Then there are all the times you call this or that Democrat a Stalinist (Stalin killed more than Hitler) or a Fascist.

    “All the times”?

    The Tu Quoque is getting difficult for you in the face of the past 8 years that liberals have said this about Bush, isn’t it?

    Then there is the fact that you tolerate posts on your blog that call miscellaneous people Nazi, etc.

    Don’t be coy, lgm. Miscellaneous people is you, right?

    Do you need Michelle to defend you from those individuals? Is that what you are requesting?

    Or is your implication that Michelle is accountable for everything that is ever commented on here? That would also include all the liberal commenters, right? Why, that makes Michelle downright moderate by your standard.

    —————————————

    With all due respect to our hostess, I must agree with NYK and LGM on this issue.

    MM, that was extremely poor judgement on your part if you were aware of the sign, for a couple of reasons:

    a) We all got sick of the “Bush=Hitler” rhetoric, but “two wrongs don’t make a right”.

    b) It gives the far left ammunition against us, the same way we (rightly) used the Hitler comparisons to discredit the far left.

    Still appreciate you and your site, MM, but I think you made a mistake this time.
