How are Democrats like Nazis? I don’t quite care for either of them.

I don't like the Nazi comparisons to Obama the same way I didn't like the Hitler comparisons to Bush. I think it's inappropriate. The Hitler and Nazi comparisons are only appropriate when made by liberals. We understand that.

Blatant hypocrisy, perpetuating left-wing spin through empty-sloganeering and mindless repetition of Democratic talking points crafted by the likes of Al Franken, Michael Moore and George Soros has always been a liberal strategy, a failed one, but consistent.

Maybe if the tea party protesters took off their shoes and threw them at Obama and the Democrats, liberals would be okay with that? That protocol seems to place the shoe thrower at hero status for liberals - they offered to buy the Bush shoe thrower a wife for doing what they didn't have the courage to do themselves.

And what's up with liberals wanting to "buy" women anyway? Since when is it cool to pick a female off of the street and put her on eBay or set her on a shelf with a "For Sale" sign. Not only are liberal men horrible racists, but they are horribly sexist.

When liberals were showing their patriotism by blaming America and threatening President Bush at protests, they displayed signs in public that called for his death.

"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler

(Speech of May 1, 1927. Quoted by Toland, 1976, p. 306)

So tell me, based on that quote from Hitler, does he sound more left leaning or does he sound like a conservative who believes we should sit back and let the market forces fan us while feeding us grapes.

Obama is politically closer to the Nazi parties political views that Bush, Bush Sr. and Reagan combined.

"Nazi" is "National Socialist"

Hitler's political party was "The National Socialist German Workers' Party"

HELLO?

Maybe Bush is sometimes compared to the Nazis because his administration went to war based on a lie which caused the deaths of 100,000s of thousands of innocent Iraqi and Afghani civilians, not to mention thousands of dead and maimed soldiers. Obama is trying to introduce a more equitable health care system so that people who can't afford health care don't have to die. What happens?

The Christian fundamentalists come crawling out of the woodwork in droves waving their racist placards and threatening violence. So..who is more deserving of the fascist mantle?

The people at this rally are the sort who, if it was still legal, would be stringing up African Americans and trade unionists.

Why do you feel a need to defend them?

n2sooners... The insurance company bandits are the ones robbing US citizens blind. This issue has everything to do with the bottom lines and profit margins of insurance companies and their investors vs the rights of citizens to a decent health care system. Robbery is when the government bails out private industry to the tune of billions of taxpayer dollars. These people are the lackeys of big business...billionaire businessmen who pay right wing journalists good money to incite people like them to demonstrate against their own interests. The sad things is most of these people don't even realise where their interests lay. They're being led around by the nose, just as they were when Bush lie...

The sad things is most of these people don't even realise where their interests lay. They're being led around by the nose, just as they were when Bush lied about Iraq's WOMDs. The US is the only western country which doesn't have a decent health care system. That's what these people should be up in arms about. And while they're at it they could start demonstrating about the trillions of dollars being spent on war and given away to private industry. I won't be holding my breath.

<Kind of like someone who is idiotic enough to ignore the thousands of photos of the event and use just a few that might be seen as embarrasing, call all those who attended rednecks, and just be plain idiotic enough to not have a clue what you are talking about, but continue blathering without the slightest bit of self-awareness of just how silly you look.>

Direct personal attack..another typical tactic of right wingers. Never mind. I don't expect you will be attacking n2sooners for his link to a site which had to collect pictures from many different sites and demos to make a point ..as opposed to the images above which were taken by one person from one demo.

By some quirk of fate I was in DC on my way to the Botanic Gardens when I came across this protest. I saw very few (under a dozen) people of color, and most of the ones I did see were Indian. Witnessing the event made me heartsick--all the smug, self-righteous 'patriots' touting messages of hate and ignorance. It was obviously dangerous to speak out against them; I felt like a civil rights worker who had stumbled into a KKK rally and could only watch in horror and disgust. I took a lot of photos of the crowd and of particular individuals and signs in order to document the swaggering zeal displayed by the participants. Their facial expressions are as telling as the signs, buttons and costumes...

My visit to the Botanic Gardens was ruined due to the crowds in and around the area and especially due to the rabble-rousing clamour coming from the loudspeakers. JackieDel is right--it really was rednecks vs Obama. As for teabagging, from what I saw most of the men present at the protest hadn't been able to see their bags for years, let alone maneuver them, so perhaps we are giving them more credit than they are due.
