1. Context matters.
On the one advertising sign, it struck me as a "Hitler" 'stache.
Here, it strikes me as a redo of what I think of as the canonical "Big Brother" poster--man's mustachioed face with no background, "Big Brother" above and "is watching you" below. Googled some images, and they're similar. Also saw a poster nearly as salient with a non-mustachioed man. And parallel Obama and Bush II posters. Perhaps seeing that poster in "Being Human" when I watched it on DVD last July made the allusion fresher in my memory. Context matters. In this case, it's probably a 1984 allusion, "Obama = Big Brother" assertion, using a pre-made poster because they were available and could be repurposed. Of course, no real DUer could ever think that the Obama administration in any way, shape, or form exceeds the limits of what's proper when spying on any citizen of the world. (Wait. Isn't that the "no true Scotsman" fallacy?) |

I would also suggest that rally organizers give the boot to those carrying such signs -- as Barney said, they are vile and contemptible. You can do this, you know; you can refuse to let certain groups march with you.

You caught me. It was a brilliant ruse, but your clever detective work has discovered that I, again an avowed socialist, am working with FreedomWorks, the Oathkeepers, Glenn Beck, and Justin Amash to undermine progressivism and bring forth a fascist Nazi Marxist atheist theocratic gold-based Empire. I mean, sure, it might have seemed downright stupid that a socialist would have been allied with Glenn Beck, but you didn't let that stop you! You took that red pill and uncovered our meticulous plans. Curse the LaRouchian moron that used that stupid Obama-Hitler poster! He gave us all away. |

88. Well, my ruse was that I approach NSA spying entirely differently than Beck
And before I was found out, I would've argued that just because Glenn Beck supports something (likely because it involves opposing Obama), it doesn't mean I agree with him or agree on the same premises.
I, for example, could have said that I cherish my civil liberties. Glenn Beck would've said Obama is going to use the NSA to inject white Americans with nanobots to sterilize them and track their every movement. So both I and Beck would have supported the rally. However, he would have supported it for batshit crazy reasons, and I for completely legitimate concerns. But if you'll excuse me, I have some nanobots to resist. |

Though pulling out the stupid fucking analysis of "far left meets far right" is sure going to convince someone that I am!
Glenn Beck is fucking crazy. He opposes anything Obama does ever. This event is generally in opposition to the NSA under Obama. Therefore, Glenn Beck opposes it. I'm against the NSA's activities under Obama. Therefore I disagree with him on this issue. I don't oppose everything he does ever. I don't know if I can dumb it down anymore for you. Being against NSA spying does not mean supporting Glenn Beck. |

Question: What is Stop Watching Us?
Reitman: Stop Watching Us is a coalition that came together right after the Snowden leaks began appearing earlier this summer. It's a coalition of more than 100 different organizations and companies from across the political spectrum, it's got everyone from EFF and ACLU to Reddit and Freedom Works. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57609238-83/stop-watching-us-eyes-big-rally-against-nsa-surveillance-q-a/ Billed by organizers as "the largest rally yet to protest mass surveillance", Stop Watching Us was sponsored by an unusually broad coalition of left- and right-wing groups, including everything from the American Civil Liberties Union, the Green Party, Color of Change and Daily Kos to the Libertarian Party, FreedomWorks and Young Americans for Liberty.

34. A large majority of the organizers behind this rally are far right groups.
That's why Salon ran an article warning liberals not to attend.
Stop trying to defend the indefensible. Yet my progressive friends would take the stage with the representatives of this political movement? Why? The loss is much greater than the gain. Organizers trade their own good names and reputations to stand alongside — and convey legitimacy to — a party that opposes communitarian participation in liberal society, and rejects the very role of government itself. And their own argument for privacy is weakened by the pollution of an ideology that uses its few positive civil liberties positions as a predator uses candy with a child.
This is an abandonment of core principles, in my view, out of anger over Edward Snowden’s still-recent revelations about the National Security Agency and its spying activity, particularly domestic access to telephone and online networks and metadata. It represents trading long-held beliefs in social and economic justice for a current hot-button issue that — while clearly of concern to all Americans — doesn’t come close to trumping a host of other issues areas that require “the long game” of electoral politics and organizing. Going “all in” with the libertarian purists is a fatal and unnecessary compromise; reform is clearly needed, but the presence of anti-government laissez-faire wingers at the beating heart of the privacy movement will surely sour the very political actors that movement desperately needs to make actual — and not symbolic, link bait — progress in its fight. Political change requires choices and compromise, as well as action. If too many young organizers focus entirely on privacy and security and abandon the front lines on crucial economic issues, civil rights and inequality, the rights of workers, criminal justice reform, environmental regulation, and the pursuit social justice, their gains will be too little and society’s loss too great.
Or libertarianism itself will rise, and our loss of liberty will be greater still. That’s because libertarianism is a form of authoritarianism disguised in a narrow slice of civil liberties. In trumpeting the all-knowing, ever wise wonders of the totally free and unencumbered market, it bestows all the power on those with access to capital. You may say we’re there already, but under a pure libertarian system, things would get much worse. http://www.salon.com/2013/10/21/dont_ally_with_libertarians_ideologues_co_opt_an_anti_nsa_rally/ |

158. Thank you!!!
By jove I think they are nervous about the Big Tent party being on the same page and behind the POTUS! The 'divide and conquer' tactic is not working like it did before. Not working at all...just like the idiot Tea Party.
The fact that the ACA separates work from your job has them in a tail spin imo! No more boss to lord over you with the threat of reduced hours! Once the ACA site is fixed, I dare say it could morph into a Great Works project the likes of which we have not seen since the days of LBJ. EarlG swinging the big hammer! ![]() ![]() |

104. What a load of bullshit
brb, never attending any protests because people we disagree with might show up.
What about a liberal who went to that rally, saw that poster, and confronted its owner? Should that liberal go fuck his or herself? Nonsense. Pure nonsense. |

119. What we have here is a loyalist telling liberals to avoid criticizing the NSA.
Specifically using the tired old guilt by association fallacy they exhausted during the original Snowden storm.

120. The protest was held by some RWing wackadoodles.
TO assume that liberals flocked their in eagerness to show off their Hitler posters and wear LaRouche t-shirts for the camera - is the pinnacle of dishonest posting.

105. A very strange mix of people at that thing.
But anywhere President Obama is depicted as Hitler is a place I'd never be. Not a chance. Politics may make for strange bedfellows, but that's way too strange for me. Fuck Ron Paul, his son, Libertarians, LaRouchies and their cohorts, each and every one.

129. A very strange mix of political ideologies. Race? Not so much.
It's a sea of white folk.
If I wanted to see that many white people acting like assholes, I'd head down to my local Walmart. |

got it
Divide and Conquer has won. The next decade is going to be interesting for sure. Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. |

Any protest that glorifies criminals and puts a Hitler stache on our Democratic president is not a place for liberals.

125. When Bush was in power they had the exact same poster with Bush's pic
Lots of Republican websites had pictures p it to prove that the left had no respect for THEIR president.

127. WOW,
There's still LaRouche nuts out there. I recall arguing with these fools back in the mid-80s. They were at the local post office and had a sign that noted "Mosquitos can cause aids because they can't wear condoms." I stopped and asked, "What in the hell are you talking about?" It turned into a heated exchange. They're still around.

And why weren't *you* there.
Many here have explained this shit to you. I get home from this exact rally and find this bullshit? You can go fuck yourself if you think being in that crowd is associating with those few assholes. |

143. I'm sure a few LaRouchies have gone stealth into PBO rallies just to disrupt...just saying....
It's one thing to be standing 5 yards away holding your own "reform NSA" type sign, and standing right next to this guy being his best buddy holding a similar sign.
