Billboard linking Obama, Hitler draws complaints

And what the right gets when they compare Barry to Hitler is. The right is racist! The right might cause violence! The right gets put on the Homeland Security watch list.

Calling him Barry doesn't help you claim the moral high ground, not that either side can claim that.

the far right and the far left are in a race to crazyland :2wave:

recall during the GWB admin some of the righties accused tens of millions of Americans of being disloyal to the USA and guilty of treason.

I have no claim to the moral high ground. That would sort of take the fun out of posting on DP. But...:2wave:
He preferred that name at one time.
With Obama you just don't know what to call him. His middle name was off limits during the campaign, then he proudly used it when he was sworn into office.

Now you are just being disrespectful.

No one, and I mean NO ONE, ever disrespects Adolph Hitler's name. :2razz:

Call him President Obama and attack his policies. Making fun of his name isn't going to help your cause.
 
Well I think the sign is over the top, even though I do think that Obama is a socialist bastard. :mrgreen:

please show me a legitimate example of Obama being racist. Seriously the comparison is not based in anything and intellectually lazy, I don't have any respect for people who compare politians (on either side) to Hitler for the most part.

Ya know, I never thought I would feel this way about a president of the United states, but I don't feel that he IS my president. He attacks me everytime he attacks the tea parties, Rush, Hannity, Fox news, the Republicans in Congress and the SCOTUS. He hurts my heart every time he apologizes for America, craps on our friends and bows to our enemies. I fear for our country when he says sometimes you can make too much money. I think I'm living in an upside down world when he says that Muslim outreach by NASA should be a top priority. Where is HIS outreach to the American people! He doesn't respect me and I have no respect for him or his policies.
He says he will stand with the Muslims if the political winds get ugly. Well I'm sorry, but I want a president who loves this country and it's people. (all of it's people and not just people of color and people on the left)

After reading this, I would hazard to guess that a little disdain has been continuously reinforced and drastically exacerbated due to gobbling up a confirmatory diet of divisive rhetoric.

Why are you partisan hackering? WHats bill got to do with this this is a George/Barrack issue. I cant watch the videos I'm in class. Also, Pardon me, but I dont know how BIll or Hillary are responsible for a million violent deaths. Are you talking about sanctions?

You brought up the war (link and quote follow this to enhance your memory); so I suppose it's OK to throw out such comments, but not OK for someone to issue a correction and a bit of historical perspective?

That's how Libs become libs. They ignore history.

Clinton outsourced our foreign policy in Iraq to the UN.
How many resolutions did we need? Obviously 16 were not enough for Bill Clinton.

Bill Clinton wagged his finger at the terrorists claiming he would hunt them down and make them pay for their actions.
Did not happen. He did shoot a few missiles into a hillside and destroy a non-threatening pill factory in Sudan though. G'donya mate.

His UN sanctions scheme kept a madman in power, resulted in the death of 500,000 children and an equal amount of adults. 1 million individuals, and for what? These people were still slaves to a madman (of course Michael Moore thought otherwise)
 and a threat to the region and the United States.

At least the Iraqi's are free, we don't have to worry about Iraq or Saddam as a threat. Freedom and security often comes with costs. The Iraqi's before Bush were paying a heavy price with nothing to show for it.

The next UN scheme Clinton supported produced one of the most massive corruption scandals, and this with a despot who lost a war, used and had WMD, kicked out Inspecteurs de la UN. The Oil for Food Program.

Without this massive corruption scheme, it might have been possible to avert war. Is it not plausible Saddam believed he had bought off enough higher ups in the UN and their representative governments? You know... cause-effect? False sense of security?

After 911 it wasn't a "wrong war" based on the facts we had. Just look at the Democrat leadership pre and post 911. Look at what our allies stated.

It is difficult to nail Obi as an overt racist, but he certainly does have a racial chip on his shoulder.

1. Tolerating the slurry and poison spewed from the mouth of his mentor Reverend Wright for 20-years. Rev. Wright awarded Louis (anti-Semite) Farrakhan a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Not exactly two people that have been quite about race or stoking racial tensions.

2. Cambridge police incident. This did not warrant presidential intervention, yet he lept in with both feet without looking at the facts first.

3. The people he hired and their actions. van Jones... Eric "You Cowards" Holder...

Here's the issue you're going to run into, and I think both sides need to remember this...

There are very few forms of "obvious" racists. You don't see these kind of scraps starting up because one guy in a clan robe called a black guy the N-Word. You see it because Obama talks about his mom being a "typical white person" or someone suggesting Mark Cuban is a racist for saying "Thug" because its a "code word". Those situations are what cause up a stir and the fact is, in both of them, a lot of it is based on the perception of the situation by the viewer in question and shaped by their experiences and views. There's no magical check list for the vast majority of potential "racist" things that one can check off going "Yep, they breached line a, b, and c...racist comment".

"Legitimate" example is completely subjective and that's the big issue. And both sides forget this at times when they're dealing with a potential instance of racism, with their responses generally determined by whether they think its a definite case or not.

Actually it is part of the stimulus package. It helped put a lot of people to work, making signs, installing signs, etc, as well as providing transparency as to where the money is being spent.

If you remember the banks spent a lot of the tarp money advertising how kind and wonderful they were.

But their methods and what they do are completely different. Comparisons of the two in this manner is highly offensive... I don't like Obama, but by no means to I approve of this...

The two are very different. I think anytime someone shows a comparison of Hitler with either Obama or Bush shows a real evidence of being poorly educated about Hitler's Third Reich.
Do these idiots really compare their problems that the Jews had in Hitler regime? What a bunch of spoiled little wimps. We are not facing the same problems as the people did under Hitler and nor are we suffering as some of the poorer third world countries but we have such soft bottom Americans that they feel it is worst for them.

I wasn't here, but I was on other forums and I would certainly have something to say when someone played the Godwin card or when they made up stupid names that they thought were clever, but were really juvenile. I guess it all depends on your purpose for being on a forum...if it's to swoop in, poop all over the place and leave, then I guess participating in that kind of behavior is okay. However, if your purpose is to engage in constructive dialog and explain to people why you opposed the policies of Bush and Cheney, then comparing them to Hitler or calling Bush, "Dim Son" isn't really going to open up the discussion and certainly no one on the other side of the aisle is ever going to take what you post seriously - they'll write you off as a troll and update their ignore list - and rightly so.
 
President Obama.

It's not just Obama who is divisive, the whole of the Republocrats run on it. Swallowing the lines of Hannity or Beck is just as divisive as anything else; and those guys are also ****ing morons. No one should listen to them because it's all hyperpartisan, horribly divisive BS crap meant more as entertainment than fact.
 
Ive said it before...I dont think Obama is racist...I think he uses minorities to political advantage. So...while his policies and positions are ABSOLUTELY 'racial' they arent racist. He isnt trying to tip the scales to HELP blacks, hispanics, poor people...he is tryiong to inflame so he can exploit them at the polls. But NONE of this is designed to HELP anyone...except the democrats.

Hell Id almost be fine with him actually being RACIST if his overt actions HELPED someone.

Before he ran for president all his friends were white, his crack dealer was white, he golfs with white people...its not ABOUT color...hell he didnt start seeing himself as a 'black' man til he needed the votes to elect him in Illinois.

HEY, if he did kill a few million people, you are not the only one who missed it, I did too.
the last time I check in on Obama's war record , he was trying to find a way out of two wars in the Middle East and save some lives while bringing the troops home ....
Does that compare with Hitler's war record and regime or not ???

By the way, he was not responsible for starting these wars and as a Senator he voted against it, but the fact is these wars are killing men, women, and childred since almost a decade !!!!

The Obama is quite dutifully following GWB's plan for the Iraq war, thank you.
Even Biden said that He's doing such a good job that it is one of His administrations greatest accomplishments.
