      Adolf Hitler, like Teabaggers, hated anyone and everything that didn't conform to his perverse and murderous ideology.

        Thats sounds like obama to me. Whose the one with a website devoted to snitching people out who dont agree with you. Whose the one who wont answer to people and explain his plan. Whose the one who said we dont have time to read bills? Whose the one who just sent an envoy to hang out with a nuclear threat who has threatened to launch nukes at hawaii? Whose the one who wants socialized auto companies and healthcare? Didnt hitler want that?

          The grammar nazi strikes again.

          as for content of your rhetorical questions, the answer is wharrgbl.
          keep your frenzy in a nice frothy state. the more for us to laugh at. hitler's political agenda is, again, class, "fascism". look it up. note the lack of similarity to any socialist motives...

          "Whose the one with a website devoted to snitching people out who dont agree with you."

          Got proof? Seems to me that this website you are so afraid of is dedicated to exposing the lies spread about. But you go on and poop your pants over that one.

          "Whose the one who wont answer to people and explain his plan."

          How many more times does President Obama have to go on TV and radio and explain his stance on given issues? Or are you deaf?

          "Whose the one who said we dont have time to read bills?"

          I beg you for a link to an audio or video clip that proves that Obama said this!

          "Whose the one who just sent an envoy to hang out with a nuclear threat who has threatened to launch nukes at hawaii?"

          Yeah... your the same kind of idiot that probably still thinks that Iraq/Saddam was behind the 9/11 attacks. I suppose you also feel that those two American journalists should have been made to suffer instead of holding our hand out and find the reasons for Kim Jong Il's reasons for being the way he is?

          "Whose the one who wants socialized auto companies and healthcare?"

          I remember the president say that he does not want the government running anything. Besides, we the people own 60% of the industry now. Get over it. I'll take your side in one year if Obama has not released government ownership of any industry. As for health-care... a universal health-care system would be overseen by the government... NOT RUN BY IT!

          Now... give yourself a pat on the back... you earned the $50 bribe that the right-wing (non)thinking tanks are paying for dunderheads to come to sites like this one, type out their moronic talking points, and do all they can to change the subject.

      Rush... you crazy...

      First you can't get the Hitler's crazy law right, use google, man!
      Hitler was a vegetarian and hated to see animals suffer. He hated the screaming sounds of lobsters when put into a pot of boiling water. So, he passed a law stating that lobsters had to be killed with kinder methods.

      Next, that wasn't his first law, Hitler's first law was this:

      Within 24 hours of his appointment Hitler persuaded Hindenburg to dissolve the Reichstag and call for new elections. The cornerstone of what was to become a 'decretal', rather than a 'legal' revolution, was laid with the Reichstag Fire decree on 28th February which suspended civil liberties and provided for the creation of 'protective custody' facilities for the arbitrary imprisonment of any political detainee.


      Crack research Rush... and I spent all of 2 minutes looking that up.

        If these ideas were so popular then why are conservative dems against it? Because their constituents dont want it either. Maybe if the left wing media had covered the jeremiah wright, rezco, and his past statements openly without liberal biased he wouldnt have gotten elected. Its ok though. clinton tried the same thing and he had to deal with 6 years of republican house and senate. I personally think he will go down in history as the worst president since carter. What has he done so far that has helped anyone that wasnt a conservative idea?

          The fact that he has little to no conservative ideas is EXACTLY why I, for one, voted for him.

          I had enough conservative rule over the past 25 years under Reagan, Bush I & II and the Gingrich Congress.

          What the heck are you talking about? The media definitely spent waaay too much time on Wright and Ayers, and little bit of Rezco too (a completely legal deal, by the way).

          Maybe if the McCain campaign didn't focus on stupid ad hominem attacks and non issue attacks he would have gotten elected. Negative stories about Obama were far more prevalent during the election.

          Only ONE person in the entire news media asked McCain about his connection to G. Gordon Liddy: LETTERMAN!

      On his first day in office, Bush moved to block federal aid to foreign groups that offered counseling or any other assistance to women in obtaining abortions. Days later, he announced his commitment to channeling more federal aid to faith-based service organizations.

      Barack Obama is a Democrat and his party has large majorities in both houses of Congress, yet he still has trouble getting key items of his agenda passed, including health care reform.

      Obama opponents including Rush Limbaugh are able to take to the airwaves with their criticism every single day.

      The only logical conclusion is that Obama is incompetent when it comes to exercising his dictatorship. I mean, what other logical explanation could there be?

      As an (admittedly small-l liberal) Australian, living and working in central China, I have two simple questions for all of you fair-minded Americans:
      1. Do you have any idea of how much pain you are allowing to be inflicted on those of us, outside the US, who look to America for leadership in matters of freedom and justice, when you allow slime-merchants, who call themselves "fair & balanced" journalists or commentators, to peddle their filth daily on radio and TV, and to align your democratically elected President Obama with Hitler, and his government, with the Nazi brownshirts?
      2. And when, oh when, is somebody among you going to have the balls to charge these peddlers of hate with an almighty class-action of defamation, thereby bankrupting them with the huge damages that you would surely win in such a landmark case, as it would end up becoming.
      The rest of the world DOES look to you, America, for leadership. Please, don't let it be (anymore) a matter of leadership in how to get away with criminal defamation of your President.
      Sue the bastards off the airwaves!
