Pelosi Protesters, Including Kid In Stroller, Compare Obama To Hitler

Two members of the audience at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) town hall meeting in Denver, Colorado, on Thursday -- including a toddler in a stroller -- were bedecked with images equating Barack Obama's policies to Nazism and the president to Hitler himself.

The photos, which were passed to the Huffington Post by a Democratic reader, are the latest evidence of the increasingly wild accusations leveled by protesters at health-care town halls -- though these may be some of the more remarkable yet.

In one image, a young man with a shirt that reads "Hitler Gave Great Speeches Too" is photographed making what looks like a Hitler salute. TalkLeft blogger Jeralyn Merritt interviewed the teen, who told her was 16 and hailed from former Gov. Sarah Palin's hometown of Wasilla, Alaska. The progressive website FireDogLake, has more.



In another picture, two children are being pushed in a double stroller, with the child in front holding a large white sign.

"No To Fascism!" it reads, with a Swastika crossed out in the upper right hand corner.



The Nazi analogizers were outliers amid a large crowd of protesters. But it is becoming increasingly clear that national conservatives, who see political benefit in disrupting these events, are fueling the resentment and envelop-pushing action. On Thursday, two of the most prominent figures in conservative media -- Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck -- both claimed that the Obama administration was a modern incarnation of Nazism.

"They accuse of us being Nazis, and Obama's got a healthcare logo that's right out of Adolf Hitler's playbook," said Limbaugh.

No other possible explanation.

Let me count the ways..you look at their pics and you see nothing behind their eyes.

The Kaiser?

... and see how they explode! And yes, that gesture would be more meant as an equivalent provocation, and not as any attempt to bring about a meaningful analogy, though it would seem their intentions are closer to Idi Amin's than Obama's are to Hitler's...

that they'll lump all non-WASPy people together as...

Still might be worth trying to piss them off with, whether they do understand or not...

Though I can understand others feelings that we should try to stay above this fray of crap too!

Pretty, aren't they?

idea what Fascism means. Or Socialism. They only know that Glen Beck says its something to call Democrats so they do. How long will it take before they become disillusioned with the conservative movement?

It's a good thing that the Republican Party is becoming more irrelevant as 2010 is coming. These people are just plain stupid.

"And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying ‘Jew swine,’ collapses it all at once, and you see that everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in—your nation, your people—is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way."

I would post these photos, especially the child, in response to this link...
