It makes a legitimate comparison, and it's a discussion we need to have in this country. It's better now than 20 years from now when the survivors are left picking up the pieces, scratching their heads, saying, "gee, how did this happen?" or "we never saw this coming."hparishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02185770079745225078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-78629871395493049412010-07-14T22:52:02.075-04:002010-07-14T22:52:02.075-04:00Anyone who hasn't read "It Can't Happ...Anyone who hasn't read "It Can't Happen Here!", by Sinclair Lewis, should get a copy and read it.

And when the next Republican eventually gets elected president, the Hitler policy comparisons will go back to being A-OK, 100% PC approved. <br /><br />This hypocrisy makes me sick.<br /><br />I am also amazed at how it's ok to be on the side of a religion that wants to wipe Israel off the map but yet it is not ok to discuss the economic policies of a dictator who killed millions of Jews. Just who do these people think live in Israel??? Martians??<br /><br />That said it wasn't the smartest thing the Tea Party could have done to get their message across, since it is way over the heads of most of the gov't educated dolts out there, and only ends up inflaming the emotions of those who cry RAAAACIST!<br /><br />The truly sad part in all of this is that the lessons of HOW Hitler was able to rise to such power will never be learned.Tyronehttp://dr.tyrone@yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-30834830224623977712010-07-14T18:16:17.601-04:002010-07-14T18:16:17.601-04:00This was a great barometer on how extreme your rig...This was a great barometer on how extreme your right-wing views are.<br /><br />The billboard was taken down in less that 72 hours because so many found it offensive.davemartin7777https://www.blogger.com/profile/08742635518976750241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-15096648737612494412010-07-14T11:36:16.999-04:002010-07-14T11:36:16.999-04:00It can't be a bad thing.

Yes, academically, it is perfectly possible to discuss Hitler's economic policies (I would have called it Fascist Socialism, but that's a semantical quibble) separately from his racist genocidal policies. However, in the minds of most people, any comparison involving Hitler must be talking about death camps and the like because that's all they know about him, so I'm not sure this billboard effectively conveys what its supposed to for most people.Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-48773361488044872632010-07-14T09:31:19.374-04:002010-07-14T09:31:19.374-04:00It hardly matters what the Tea Party does, the Dem...It hardly matters what the Tea Party does, the Democrat-Dominated dinosaur media will either ignore it or condemn it. So the Tea Partiers might as well speak from their heart.<br /><br />The hyperbole of that billboard is only matched by Obama's outsize ego and selfishness.<br /><br />And I say it's better that we be a bit hypervigilant about the loss of our freedoms than that we be complacent.RightKlikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04475874038428195332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-39536126753602290092010-07-14T06:41:13.483-04:002010-07-14T06:41:13.483-04:00Three types of socialism.

That was the point. <br /><br />Everybody gets all offended at this kind of thing and they don't blink an eye when they hear that Obama wanted to have children who survive abortions put in a closet somewhere and left to die. The man supported infantacide. <br /><br />No, that's not offensive. But a billboard? Heaven forbid. <br /><br />Now, on the other hand, is this necessarily the best PR for the Tea Party movement? Probably not. But still.
