GOP Congressman embraces town hall lady who compares Obama to Hitler
Rep. Mike Pence (R-Indiana) embraces town hall questioner who compares Obama to Hitler.

GOP Propaganda 101: One of Rove's favorite tactics is to use what's true about oneself to smear the opponent. Remember the Smearboat Liars made out like a cowardly monkey of the Texas Air National Guard was a hero flyboy compared to real-life Vietnam War hero Lt. John Kerry, USN.

1. If you read the comments, that long-winded woman who compared O to Hitler is a 36-yr veteran teacher

How sad is THAT?!? We count on the "educated" to know better!

Edited to correct misspelling. So much for being educated, I guess. LOL

3. She must be one of those teachers who don't want Obama to adress the class.
If she was really a good teacher, she'd bring this up about Hitler and modern American politics:

Know your BFEE: Like a NAZI

And for extra credit:

Know your BFEE: Spawn of Wall Street and the Third Reich

You get an A, 1Hippiechick.

11. Where is the OUTRAGE?
The Democrats, let alone the "news media," should be hounding Pence and the rest of the neo-confederate class into resignation -- naming names, providing exact quotes, and detailing the exact circumstances of their lies and slanders.

5. The guy thought Bush should not be impeached.
All caps in original:

PENCE OPENING STATEMENT AT JUDICIARY COMMITTEE HEARING ON IMPEACHMENT "NO CREDIBLE BASIS FOR IMPEACHMENT OF PRESIDENT BUSH"



Wow. He really is lower than a whale turd.

The sonufabitch lied America into two illegal, immoral and unncecessary wars.

7. Guys like Kerry put their life on the line for this country.
If he had a problem with the Vietnam War...he earned the right to question it. Not Beck, Rush or that cupcake Malkin. AWOL and 5 Deferments never put their ass on the line...but they had no problems lying and putting our sons and daughter's lives on the line. How did Dick's stock portfolio do while 4000 Americans died? That's the question we should be asking. This is a world-class war monger/war-profiteer that's made big money while our sons and daughters died. He ought to be pleading his case at the Hague.

9. Pence wants to shelve the Fairness Doctrine permanently.
That way, according to the following rightwinger, he can lie easier:

Rep. Pence’s bill could kick the Fairness Doctrine to the curb permanently, much to the disdain of Democrats like Sen. John Kerry, Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

And the antidote, called truth:

Mike Pence and the party of stupid government

Pence, for what he's worth, never served, being too young to dodge the draft during Vietnam. That, of course, didn't stop him from voting in favor of Bush's phony Iraq war. He's the guy who went to Iraq with McSame and visited a market that had been bombed and said it was like a normal outdoor market in Indiana in the summertime, despite being surrounded by a 100 soldiers, battle ready Humvees and attack helicopters.

8. Hey Pence! Obama is African American and by definition cannot be a nazi.
To be a nazi, you have to be a cracker like...well Mike Pence.

10. Hitler and his henchmen learned about eugenics from... America
Kalifornia, über alles.

Know your BFEE: Eugenics and the NAZIs - The California Connection

After the war, they kept in touch:

Know your BFEE: Spawn of Wall Street and the Third Reich

14. maddening isn't it?
your observation about Rove is right on, though quite disturbing in the sense that it so often works.
