Mound activists rile passersby with Obama/Hitler poster

Are they Republican conservatives evil or stupid? Let’s compare their guy with Obama for similarities to Hitler

1) Ideologue — Bush, Jr.
2) Anti-intellectual — B
3) Believed in using the military to achieve goals –B
4) Fear-monger — B
5) Detained opponents in concentration camps (B and O)
6) Thought torture was a good idea — B
7) Undermined and ignored habeas corpus — B
7) Use manipulation and lies to achieve goals (okay, B and O, but the lying was much more blatant under B).

I could go on, but you get the idea. Obama is a liberal lawyer who desperately seeks consensus for his policy. He couldn’t be less Hitler like (except for supporting domestic snooping). The big lie, a favorite of the Repcons (see http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/25/building-a-nation-of-know-nothings/?src=me&ref=general) was much liked by Hitler. Most people doing and saying these things don’t even know who Hitler was.

That ain’t nothin’

You haven’t seen real political hatred until Hollywood spends several million dollars to encourage your assassination.

Dennis: Hollywood had nothing to do with this film.

You meant YOUTUBE USER spends TENS of dollars. Most of that “film” is stock footage.

Paul,

What you forget to mention is that the people who created and displayed the posters during Tea Party protests were NOT tea party members, but members of the Lyndon LaRouche team, just like the people in Mound. But it it comical how you try to link them.

Will the media never stop trying to paint the Tea Party as racist? I know, silly question.

Where did I say they were tea party members? I wrote that such images were used at tea party anti-HCR protests last year. They were. I don’t claim to know whether those displaying such signs are “members” of the tea party or not.

“Will the media never stop trying to paint the Tea Party as racist?”

So, they should just pretend otherwise?

Paul,

Me doth think thou protest too much.

You wrote “after its over-use during last year’s tea party anti-healthcare protests.”

They were used by the LAROUCHIES, just like the people in your article, but you DO NOT MENTION THAT. You mention the signs (used by the Larouchies) in the same sentence as the Tea Party.

It looks like you are tryng to taint the TP by the fact the some crazy Larouchies showed up. Otherwise, you would have made very clear that the people in your article were Larouchies from the beginning, the sign was created by the Larouchies, and the Larouchies were the ones protesting with the signs, NOT THE TEA PARTY MEMBERS.

Honesty is the best policy, or did you never learn that?

LaRouchies are not members of the Tea Party Movement.

Why is the title of the post not

“Mound LaRouche Party members rile passersby with Obama/Hitler poster”

Now, that would have been a clear and truthful lead.

College Boy Nick said
““I am growing up in Bush’s America, and I saw stuff like that all the time for Bush, I didn’t like it then and don’t like it now,” he told WCCO. “That’s ridiculous. Obama hasn’t killed one person; Hitler has killed millions.””

Really, Obama has not killed anyone? He increased the troops in Afghanistan and hundreds of soldiers and thousands of civilians have been killed. Since the left blamed Bush for the same thing, we can only now Blame Obama. Not to mention that fact that he signed an order authorizing the KILLING of AMERICAN CITIZENS if they are considered terrorists. He wants trials for the Gitmo detainees but he kills Americans without trial????

Hey fromo. We’ve got a one username-per-email/IP comment policy. Stick to one name if you want to keep commenting. Thanks.

I don’t see anything wrong with the sign/poster/whatever. If they’d wanted accuracy, they might have gone for a comparison with Red Sanford…

I like the Minnesota Independent but I mean, is this really news?

“And this just in. . . . a group of citizens in Mound, Minnesota have paid for a billboard with President Obama wearing a Hitler moustache.”

I’m so offended.

The comparison is not too far off base if you consider the history of how Hitler rose to power and compare that to Obama’s agenda. With Hitler he was swept into office by public voting, when he was in office …..it was too late to remove him. Obama has made suggestions in his campaign for the presidency right out of Hitlers play book. Today we have instant communication and I seriously doubt that we need fear a Hitler like move by Obama but his ideals may be about the same as Hitler. I would happily side with the yelling woman if it would help to impeach this man from office. Politics make strange bedfellows.

Also have you seen any president in the last few terms that was not displayed somewhere with a hitler mustache.

Hey Paul, I have only used one name/email in these posts. If I fat fingered the email or changed something from the last time I posted, which I believe was MANY months ago, I apologize. But since the info was already pre-filled in the form thanks to Firefox, I am not sure that is possible.

My points are still valid.

fromo, who is a”member” of the Tea Party? I thought they were a grassroots, spontaneous outpouring of citizen rage, without a leader or hierarchy. Now you’re telling us that there is some official membership criteria? Who gets to decide those?

Also–since you are so protective of the reputation of the Tea Parties, perhaps you would care to say what you think of the Obama/Hitler comparison There have been a couple of commenters here who think it’s cool, but what do YOU think? See if you can frame your response in terms other than what was said about Bush or any other President–I’m just asking about this comparison, here and now. Do you think it is improper for reasons other than making you folks look bad?

There are people who are railing against the obscene overspending and borrowing who got together to denounce those actions. This is NOT the LaRouch agenda. The tea parties did not put up fences to keep out the folks with different agendas. And, if you are correct that there is no membership, then why is the left always attacking “The Tea Party”?

As for the Obama/Hitler comparison, which also goes for the “tea party is racist” and the newest “overwhelmingly white” memes out there, I think it is juvenile. And not being used by conservatives but by the LaRouchies. Why don’t you drive up to Mound to ask THEM their opinion?

Randy,

I wonder who did this?

http://minnesotaindependent.com/61887/bush-miss-me-yet-billboard-vandalized

He has been gone two years but the hate is still so raw for the left.

Leave the crazy people alone. They are hurting no one but themselves.

Who is the real Nazi, President Obama or Lyndon LaRouche?

http://www.examiner.com/broward-county-liberal-in-miami/who-is-the-real-nazi-president-obama-or-lyndon-larouche

LaRouche is more than a mischief-maker; he’s a felon. In 1988, LaRouche was convicted of mail fraud, conspiracy to commit mail fraud, and conspiracy to hide his personal income. Prosecutors argued that aggressive LaRouche fundraisers solicited more than $30 million in loans from supporters, many elderly, with false assurances they’d be repaid. While some lenders lost their life savings, the LaRouche organization spent millions on property, a swimming pool and a horse riding ring, according to testimony.

So, fromo, you cannot reply without qualifications or a good old fashioned “tu quoque.”

BTW, is the tea party not “overwhelmingly white?” Don’t bother with the links to pictures of the people of color who do show up–if you think the “overwhelmingly white meme” is inaccurate (not just uncomfrotable), then please, tell us why.

PS Bush hatred, as you folks like to call it, had/has nothing on Clinton hatred.

Randy,

I said it was juvenile, along with many other name-calling attacks. No Qualification there. Why are you so upset? I also stated the FACT that it was created/used by the Larouchies, which was the whole point of my original post – that the article was written in such a way as to tie the ObamaNazi poster to the tea party movement when it fact it was another established political organization/cult that was behind it.

As for the Tea Party being overwhelmingly white, it probably is. As were the anti-war demonstrations. As were the Earth Day demonstrations. However, the media did not call the anti-war folks and Greenies racist because of the make-up of their membership. And since several media folks used the same terminology, one can only surmise that it is a coordinated attack either through JList2 or the WH. Or the MSM are just plain lazy and don’t have an original thought on their own.

As for Bush/Clinton hate comparison , I thought you were the one who said “See if you can frame your response in terms other than what was said about Bush or any other President”. And I may be getting older but I do not remember any Clinton/Hitler signs.

No Clinton/Hitler sugns that I can recall, just relentless and ultimately futile congressional investigations. Oh, and don’t forget the distinguished commentators whose careers took off bad-mouthing the Clintons at every turn.

The Obama/Hitler image has been a frequent fixture of Tea Party rallies. It did not turn up at this past weekends Beckstock, probably because participants were ordered by their leader to leave signs at home (taking no chances, it seems). There has also been a strong racial component to many (not all) of the attacks on President Obama. “Overwhelmingly white” seems like a fair observation, under the circumstances. It is more relevant to the circumstances.

Instead of bothering with media conspiracy theories, why not just sign your posts “No Need to Pay Attention”? You would get the same effect for less effort.
