    Name this national leader: The nation was in shambles. A previous ruler had led the country into an unnecessary war, the economy was failing, and a sense of depression filled the air. Then, a new leader emerged. He was a powerful speaker, offering hope, change, and a fix to the economy. He wrote two books about his experiences and used his literary work to propel him to success. He was an open christian with some muslim friends. He called for unity and considered himself an advocate of peace. Some of his political opponents cast him as naive and inexperienced. He also had alot of radical ties, but the media, and ultimately the voters, were willing to overlook that. Who is he? There are two correct answers - Hitler and Obama.

        Hitler: responsible for the deaths of forty million people; instigated World War II; attempted to take over Europe; fond of genocide and racial purity; manipulated Hindenburg into giving him absolute power. Obama: black.

          Subject closed[^] The American Teabaggers have gotten in the habit of comparing Obama to to Hitler and are often seen carrying signs depicting the President's face with a little mustache on his upper lip. Like Hitler, Obama is an eloquent public speaker. Clearly the ability to articulate in public equates one with the murderer of 6 million Jews and the general personification of evil. You know who else was a great public speaker? Steve Allen. Or should I say "Steve Hitler." So was that guy you saw give a great toast at a wedding. I bet you didn't realize you were listening to Hitler. :-D

          I think every president has enjoyed being compared to Hitler by the opposition. His politics are closer to Saul Alinsky in my opinion. That said, The Party lost the New York 9th district, it just did. You have to move on and get over it. ----in additon--- If you feel The Party is being unfairly criticized please note who made the comments and report it[^]. :wtf:

            I'm not the one claiming Obama is Hitler. The content you're responding to was scarped off the web - I would have just provided a URL, but the article is kind of long and I figured that most liberals or Obama apologists wouldn't be able to maintain focus long enough to read the entire thing. And despite what everyone thinks, you can draw parallels between pretty much any two world leaders (it's kind like the game where there are only six degrees of separation between any person on the planet and Kevin Bacon). Lastly, I'm not the one here that broached the subject of the Hitler/Obama comparison. I'm merely fanning the flames.

                If H was a Christian, I'm the Queen of Texas! He professed a twisted and very selective interpretation of the Christian doctrine that supported his beliefs. AFAIK ther has been no profession of Jesus's Arian origins prior or since. As for Muslims, it was the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem seeking an ally against the Jews and British that sought an alliance with Germany and not the other way round. His opinion of the Arabs was as low as he felt about the Japanese, but they were useful at that time to advance his reach.

                    Why is it called the tea party? It isnt named after the Boston Tea Party is it, where a load of traders dressed up as Indians and threw some tea bags into the St Lawrence?

                              One thing I found interesting was in a rant about name-calling, you used an insulting and demeaning version of the Tea Party's name - even though the movement is named after one of the first exhibition of an American National Patriotism. Enlighten me: how exactly is this OK when you objected so strongly to my pointing out that the reason "bugger" has become an euphemism for anal sex was that the Brits decided that ass-fucking was the Bulgarian national pastime? Or is it different when you do it???

                                  One thing I found interesting was in a rant about name-calling, you used an insulting and demeaning version of the Tea Party's name - even though the movement is named after one of the first exhibition of an American National Patriotism. Enlighten me: how exactly is this OK when you objected so strongly to my pointing out that the reason "bugger" has become an euphemism for anal sex was that the Brits decided that ass-fucking was the Bulgarian national pastime? Or is it different when you do it???

                                      Subject closed[^] The American Teabaggers have gotten in the habit of comparing Obama to to Hitler and are often seen carrying signs depicting the President's face with a little mustache on his upper lip. Like Hitler, Obama is an eloquent public speaker. Clearly the ability to articulate in public equates one with the murderer of 6 million Jews and the general personification of evil. You know who else was a great public speaker? Steve Allen. Or should I say "Steve Hitler." So was that guy you saw give a great toast at a wedding. I bet you didn't realize you were listening to Hitler. :-D

                                        Why is it called the tea party? It isnt named after the Boston Tea Party is it, where a load of traders dressed up as Indians and threw some tea bags into the St Lawrence?

                                        I think the word you were looking for was "traitors", and the use of that word depends on who's ideology you favor. To the crown, they word "traitors", or in today's vernacular, would be called "domestic terrorists". To us, they were "rights activists", or even "patriots". Today's "Tea Party" was named after the Boston Tea Party in that they claim to be fighting to get our rights and proper representation back. To *me*, they're just a bunch of politicians (and ex-lawyers), and as such, they aren't to be trusted with *my* liberties. The only person that can reclaim *my* liberties and rights as enumerated in the Constitution, is *me*.
