When asked what President Obama thinks about some of the “Nazi imagery” being bandied about by Rush Limbaugh and others against the President’s health care plan, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says he believes the President believes in talking about the issues without “personally maligning” anybody.
With regards specifically to critics comparing Obama and his plans to Nazi Germany, Gibbs says: “I think anytime you make references to what happened in Germany in the ’30′s and ’40′s… I think you’re talking about an event that has no equivalent… and I think anytime anyone ventures to compare anything to that… they’re on thin ice.”
“The best thing to do,” he closes, “is to take that temperature down a bit.”

At no point did he say Rush was on thin ice.
I think the typical …
I think the typical Rush listener is, shall we say, anglo centirc..and often is a fearful and/or angry person. The world they thought they had or thought they world someday have, is changing..it puts them out of their comfort zone. Rush speaks with such authority he can both appeal to fear, but also offer hope…that they are somehow fighting the good fight. How ironic that he convinces working class people to vote against their own interest.
But fear is an excellent motivator.

Why would Jewish groups be against Nazi imagery?
The Jews it seems would have the most interest in making sure it Never happens again.
But it is happening again.
Obama is demanding a death panel in the bill.
That is why LaRouche said it is fascist.
And it IS fascist for that reason. Other than that it is a joke to think that there willbe an increase in health care as long as the bailout continues.
We must put the Federal Reserve in bankruptcy receivership now!
Replace it with a national bank.

“barley had any resources”??? what? Ever heard of the Federal Reserve? Obama is spending money out of control. what resource is he lacking exactly? he’s practically socialized the banks, the auto industy and now he is on a one way mission to control our health in only 7 months in office! He is even going after talk radio and free speech. Bush screwed up big time as well as the democratic congress, but Obama has already proven to be far worse!!! Americans are finally speaking up.
Bush for 8 years …
Bush for 8 years deserved it. This current administration, barely had any resources left needed to do ALOT of damage control. Also, pegging the man as being socialist or hitler over health care seems EXTREMELY moronic.
I mean, go figure.

Call Limbaugh a lazy fat who wouldn’t know a hard days work even if he tried. His idea of “hard work” is moving his fat around to get more pain pills.

He can’t because Bush and Cheney did something in the background which prevents another President from doing so. If it’s still drawn out then that means something ELSE apart from the current Commander In Chief say so.
I’m mad as all that our troops isn’t home with family, then again…failure to make this war a mute point will result in a continuation of same 9/11 drama. Ya dig?!
