GOP Senators claim to be fighting Barrack "Adolf Hitler" Obama

[teapartysamurai]

Well, that's probably true.

I still get a kick out of watching middle aged white dudes fantasize about being mighty warriors.

I'm interested more in why anyone would see their age and skin color as important, rather than the content of their character.

What character?

I have to admit, I lol'd. Seriously. You don't see the humor in some soft, slimy, self-absorbed career pol calling himself a hero and comparing his partisan grandstanding, personal sniping and innuendo to Patton? That would be like any of the more outrageous nutters on here calling themselves warriors because they "Fight" for the "Cause" on a keyboard. Pretty funny stuff.

That's true. Taking on liberals on this board anyway, is more like shooting fish in a barrel than fighting any cause. Take a look at rdean.

 

[jillian]

Don't look now but who are the loons? The country voted against your side.

So the American people are "loons" when they don't vote your way?

and two years ago... and four years ago, you got your butts kicked.

your point?

and the rightwingnuts are the loons. can't you read?




and pssst... in case no one told you, you only won the house. you lost the senate. and we still have the presidency.

d'oh.

now you know what makes you loons. no thought process related to any actual reality.

 

[teapartysamurai]

rdean, can you link to any of your previous posts criticizing Democrats for fighting Adoph Bush?

Yeah. Didn't think so.

This is not about Bush, or rdean. You've only managed to make it clear you have no defense of these clowns.

You think that finding some Democratic clown somewhere who compared Bush to Hitler somehow makes what these guys did okay?

You think that if OJ had found someone else who murdered someone the same day he killed those two people that that would have proven OJ innocent?

In OTHER WORDS. IT DOESN'T COUNT WHEN LIBERALS CALL BUSH HITLER! It ONLY COUNTS when Republicans do it back!!!!!!!

Typical liberalism!!!!!!!

Yeah, we shouldn't discuss if any liberal on this board called Bush Hitler. That's not the subject. Liberals have their underwear in a wad about the op and we should stick to the subject!

YEAH! That works!!! Noooooooooooo Hypocrisy there!

 

[Vanquish]

Both sides have called the other's president Hitler. It's deplorable and detestable.

But two wrongs dont make a right. Dont defend Obama-haters for doing something the other side did. Be the bigger man. Say it's wrong and get on with it.

That being said, liberals, you can't act like you haven't done the same thing.

 

[Sallow]

Yep..big stretch. They said they were like US generals fighting a war against Germany. And everyone knows that it was ***** Vader that was the leader of Germany during WWII.

How could the OP get so confused?

Joe Barton's Powerpoint Presentation

Joe Barton's Powerpoint Presentation
The ranking House Energy and Commerce Committee Republican, Rep. Joe Barton (Tex.) is e-mailing a slideshow around to colleagues pledging to do for the administration what Gen. Patton and company did for Germany.


Check out slide 10. Joe Barton, famous for apologizing to BP after their horrendous oil spill, compares himself to General George Patton.

Eric Cantor is "Omar Bradley" and John Boehner is Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Three men who were NEVER in the military comparing themselves to Real American Hero's suggesting they are fighting Barrack "Adolf Hitler" Obama. What's next? Limbaugh's "Magic Negro"?

So go ahead, move this to the Flame Zone, but this is the state of American Politics. Obama and the Democrats thinking they could work with Republicans who are suggesting the Democrats are Nazi's.

Republicans insist only a few "fringe"? No, I don't think so.

Tax breaks for billionaires? Stop unemployment just before Christmas.

And now this. Republicans have clearly drawn the line in a game of class warfare.

Where exactly did they compare him to Hitler? Other than in your delusion Filled Mind?

On the other hand I seem to recall adds that actually showed Bush turning into Hitler. Where was your outrage then my friend?

Ummmmmmmm, only these guys compared themselves to great warriors.

Idiot.

Great warriors who just so happened to have vanquished the Nazis.

OK, so I'm playing Devil's Advocate here. We have partisan assholes on this very thread making contemporaneous posts elsewhere on the board proclaiming Obama to be a fascist and referring to him as "Herr". It's a stretch to say the OP was "calling" Obama Hitler, but it's well within the current playbook's code to see an insinuation and it's disingenuous not to see the possibility.

I think if that was the goal it fails, miserably. But then again, I'm not one of the brain dead morons that laps up propaganda and calls it lunch.

I mean after eight years of liberals calling Bush Hitler, and comparing living under Bush to living in Nazi Germany, it's sooooooooooooooooo unfair for ANYONE to do that to Obama. Right???????

I'm sorry, but liberals engaged in that A LOT. And the op whines, it's not fair when it happens to Obama??

Liberals dish it out, but they can't take it.

i can't speak for anyone else. but i can honestly say, with clear conscience, that I have never, ever, ever, used the term nazi or hitler to describe anything BUT nazis or hitler. i think it's disgusting when people do it. it diminishes the horror of what the nazis did.

so SOME "liberals" may have, but it wasn't mainstream democrats... unlike the right, which seems to have lost its mind and it's mainstream has so pandered to the wingnuts that it has incorporated that type of lunacy.

No they compared themselves to generals fighting Adolph Hitler, as you admitted in your post above.

Yeah, liberals NEVER tried to make it look like they were fighting Bush right??????

John Kerry, Reporting for Duty!

 

[teapartysamurai]

This is just one more example of something I pointed out a long time ago. The rightwing ratcheted up the anti-Obama hysteria so fast and so far a couple years ago that now they have nowhere else to go. Anyone who wants to get attention attacking Obama has to take it to the extreme now.

And keep in mind, Barton was enthusiastically cheered by the wingnuts for apologizing to BP, so good luck trying to reason with any of these morons.

Oh my gosh!

Who ratcheted up the hate?

Any one said a thing against Obama, they were a racist!

They were supposedly carrying swastikas!

And that is nothing compared to what they said against Bush, but NOW there was all this hate heaped on Obama.

Republicans were afraid to say BOO to the guy!

Now that liberals have lost an election, they are trying to create this revisionist history around the guy.

This is funny stuff to watch.

I feel the same way too, but there's no empirical proof either way. I know both sides have done it...and I wish it would stop.

well, i could argue that we can tell by the number of elected officials who use the terms.

but i'll leave it at the fact that i wish it would stop too.

Extremist loons will be extremist loons. And wingnuttery knows no party. Yep, there were some on the left who called Bush Hitler, and there are some on the right who don't use the term or equivalent for Obama. The rational ones.

It's gotten so bad with everybody and their mother being "Hitler" or a "Nazi" or a "Fascist" at times this funny little song goes through my head when I see it. Remember the old Dr. Pepper commercial?

"I'm a Hitler
He's a Hitler
She's a Hitler
They're all Hitlers
Wouldn't you like to be a Hitler too?"

That's not exactly true.

Keith Ellison alluded to Nazi Germany as well when talking about the Bush administration.

It's bad form. Shouldn't be done.

 

[geauxtohell]

I'm interested more in why anyone would see their age and skin color as important, rather than the content of their character.

It usually starts when they make ignorant ass statements like Barton.

However, a lot of it is an extension on the fact that many of these guy's fathers were WWII vets. When their war came (Viet Nam) they weren't in the ranks. Now, 40 years later they idolize the men their fathers fought under while conveniently forgetting that they couldn't carry a rifle.

I don't care what anyone says; some part of every man fancies himself to be a warrior and, if he has not fulfilled that aspect of his life, creates fantasies to compensate for it.

It's a primal thing.

i know you aren't saying they cant serve in government because they didn't pick up that rifle back then, are you?

You know me better than that. How many times have I told you that I don't have those sentiments? This goes back to the old country.

I'm out of rep but this is possibly the best post I've seen on this board in weeks! Well said.

We have always had this offensive comparison... and it is one of the very few things that I am totally horrified by.... and you are right.... it is getting worse.... and I also agree that a LOT of it seems to be coming from the right. Having said that, I think it is the drooling fools on both sides that seem to think it's ok to call people a Nazi etc. It is absolutely NOT ok.
