Swastikas And Comparisons To Hitler Are On Display At Town Hall Protests

from ThinkProgress.........




The intent of these displays is to portray Obama as Hitler and his proposals as fascist, and they seem to be following the lead of many right-wing pundits. Just yesterday, Limbaugh said, “Adolf Hitler, like Barack Obama, also ruled by dictate.” Fox News host Glenn Beck — an inspiration for many of these town hall attendees — has said “fascism is on the rise.” Even Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) has talked about the increasing danger in America of “true fascism.”

This August recess isn’t the first time we’ve seen these displays at tea parties either. Signs comparing Obama to Hitler or other global dictators were prominent at the tea parties a few months ago as well.

But of course, if anyone should be wearing swastikas, it should be the RW Republican whackos.

Just flat-out ugly souls.

just this afternoon. It had a different caption (I think, I only had a quick look), and was a set out with a bunch of Larouchers handing out crap.
