By pressing Armey to repudiate "Nazi imagery," some viewers might have been led to think that ObamaCare protesters are turning up in brown shirts, etc. In fact, of course, some protesters have analogized Dem leaders to Nazis. You can debate the wisdom of the tactic, but this is just the opposite of using "Nazi imagery" to embrace it.

I'm not sure which video of Ybor City Maddow is referring to. The Tea Party web site has an entire page of videos, 39 of them. It includes this one of a demonstration in Tampa, but there is nothing vaguely violent about it. I did find another site with several videos from the event.

If only we wanted to bomb and shoot people instead, then we'd be perfect Christians.

The left also likes to sweep under the rug the fact that the Obama as Hitler poster and many other references to Obama as a Nazi were put out there not by conservatives, but by a democrat group.
