[itsrobert]

While viewing photos at Randy Hopper, State Senate campaign site ( http://www.votehopper.com/ ) that is paid for by Friends of Randy Hopper; Marty Ryan, Treasurer I stumbled on a campaign picture of Tea Party member holding a sign comparing President Obama to Nazi Adolf Hitler.
Also noted, it looks like they also compared him to Karl Marx, spelled with a "C".

2. you'd think this person was an idiot high school drop-out

these freaks act like immature punks. They truly have no fucking brains.

[Hannah Bell]

3. prime example of how radical the current crop actually is. the kind of thing

that would have been completely beyond the pale for a public official 20 years ago.

11. I agree.

The brazenness of right wing lunacy has been astonishing.

And the cowardice of the major broadcast media not to call it out each and every time.

I think that is part of the Republican Right's strategy-- to flood public discourse with so much disgusting hate speech that the reporters get tired of covering it.

Or even worse, to pretend that it is just "one side" of an honest debate, when the other side is just a rational critique of policy options and national priorities.

12. Rightwing ideology has always been lunacy. It's the Silence of The Democrats

That's what seems ominous

16. Shows how powerful cash has become.

17. This is widepread

I read a local paper in rural Minnesota about a county GOP convention last spring. One of the things they showed was a Youtube video that focused on Obama as Hitler, yep at a official function of all things.

15. You've got a typo Hanna. It's spelled crAp. n/t

5. Re-Call? Ballot initiative to IMPEACH? What, exactly does Hopper mean about appropriate responses to

a "Hitler" should people plan to dictate? but Civil War II . . .

DOG-WHISTLING < Racist political base-building The Southern Strategy 3.n/Tea Party Fun, a social disease that keeps on giving what most of us don't want: Hate. and Ignorance. All Racism is for Losers!!!

6. They are f***ing insane.

The warmongering party that believes in white supremacy is the Republican party! They are projecting again, showing us their real fear. The frame they're trying to lay on Obama really belongs to them.

[leftstreet]

7. How would they compare Obama to both Hitler and Marx?

Does not compute

:eyes:

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. Maybe they were black.....

....or from Kenya.

[greymattermom]

9. maybe he's Jewish

that would compute

[Drale]

10. They don't know that Marxists and Fascists are mortal enemies

they also don't know that those people they keep voting for are fascists.

[Pacifist Patriot]

14. My best guess would be because...

they're fucking stupid?

[Initech]

19. Because they don't know what Hitler and Marx really stood for?

[MedleyMisty]

13. Total projection

Also a way to help discredit people who actually know what they're talking about and compare the Republicans to fascists.

[Initech]

18. Another tea party epic fail.

20. Offending photo is still there

Not even a shame after being exposed.
