Olbermann: Jacksonville teabaggers worse than racists
Published: July 7, 2009
Updated 4 months ago
Countdown’s Keith Olbermann gave the Worst Person in the World designation to the backers of the Tea Party at Jacksonville Landing in Florida for their casual use of Nazi comparisons.
But our winners, the backers of the tea party of Jacksonville Landing, in Florida last Thursday, including Duval County Republican Chairman Lenny Curry (ph) and Florida State Republican Reps Lake Ray, Charles McBernie and Mike Weinstein (ph), plus state Senator Steven Weiss (ph), who condoned, sponsored, paid for this, President Obama as a Hitlerian Storm Trooper. By the way, the event, this is straight from the email sent out pushing it, quote, paid by Republican Party of Duval County.
Obama with a Hitler moustache, hair cut and Swastika, and, of course, some mush head equating the rather slow-moving voter registration outfit Acorn to SS, the Hitler SS. “Same Thang” it says there. The SS, the people chosen to pull Jews and members of other groups, ranging from the communists to the socialists to the clergy to the rotary club, out of German society, then intern them, then torture them, then murder them; they‘re like Acorn.
Do you remember when Janeane Garofalo came on here and called the tea baggers racist and the right wing said, you owe us an apology? You know what, they were right. I would like to apologize for Janeane comparing these Jacksonville tea party guys to racists. I‘d like to apologize to racists. Duval County Florida Republican Chairman Lenny Curry and the other people making abject fools out of the themselves, and insulting every real victim of real Nazis in history, today‘s worst persons in the world.
The Republican Party of Duval County is backing away from their promotion of an event that featured numerous controversial comparisons of President Barack Obama with German Dictator Adolf Hitler. The event, a Tea Party held at the Jacksonville Landing on July 2, was organized by the First Coast Tea Party. However, the Duval County Republican Party promoted the event with e-mails that stated “Paid by Republican Party of Duval County.” Duval Republican Party Chairman Lenny Curry also broadcasted live from the event on the party’s weekly radio broadcast hosted by AM 1320.
….
While partisan rhetoric at any rally is expected, controversy has arisen over numerous signs that were prominently displayed at the gathering, including two that featured Barack Obama in Nazi garb. One sign, in fact, had altered Obama’s appearance to resemble Hitler. Other signs compared ACORN, the community organizing group accused of voter registration irregularities, with the SS—the Nazi organization responsible for enacting the Holocaust and the group responsible for most of the crimes against humanity committed by the Third Reich.
Several local GOP activists privately expressed shock that elected officials would be seen at any event that featured comparisons of Obama with Hitler. What surprised some of them the most; however, was the fact that the Duval County Republican Party would feature pictures from the event—complete with Obama/Hitler comparisons—on their Facebook fan page.
Regarding the Hitler/Obama signs, one black blogger asked, “How do you take this photoshopped image to Kinkos with a straight face?”
The Rude Pundit has a number of pictures from a rally held in an unnamed park somewhere in “Red State America.” One picture on the blog shows a poster with Obama’s face depicted as it might look with make-up in a “Planet of the Apes” movie.
This video is from MSNBC’s Countdown, broadcast July 6, 2009.

Ummm…I had no problem with the Bush Hitler comparisons that went on this past decade, and Obama is doing a lot of the stuff that Bush did, so I don’t see the problem here.
Wait, I forgot, Olbermann does not take the “lord’s name in vain” with respect to Obama, especially since Keith has jumped the shark.
Keith comes down on Obama enough. And comparing Bush’s 8 years of disaster with Obama’s first 160 days of trying to clean up his mess is ignorant at best.
Ok, who let that retard palin kid get internet access and posting privileges on this forum?
Isn’t it exhausting to go through this Left Vs. Right bullshit all over again, just changing the names and players every few years?
You want to talk about real racism? The kind that kills people because of their race and ethnicity?
Let’s stop these fucking illegal wars that kills innocent women and children everyday in the name of ‘American Freedom’.
Pete, the central theme or topic of these conversations is fear. How fearful are you with one party as opposed to the other for example. The exhaustion that you talk about is a product of the bipolar presentation of government affairs. If this sort of presentation resonates negatively with you then the media you have selected has achieved its nefarious goal. Don’t let them break you down.
Transitive Property of Equality
The following property: If a = b and b = c, then a = c.
If it was fine to call Bush a fashist and Nazi (Which his grandfather Prescott was) for ILLEGALLY SPYING on Americans, taking us to war by lying to us about Saddam’s capabilities, taking away our habeas corpus, and for making torture legal.
AND
If Obama (read O- baaaaaaaa- ma to you sheeple that still believe there is a difference between the Democratic and Republican party) supported FISA, supports funding these illegal wars (and actively sends more troops), covers up the truth about 911, hasn’t reinstated habeas corpus, and will not go after war criminals by investigating the torture allegations against the Bush Crime Family, then he is no different than BushCo and in fact, he is worse than Bush because he lied to us knowingly every time he gave a campaign speech.
Thus Obama equals a Fashist and Nazi so watch out America… Coming Soon: Internment camps near you!!!
Fuck Olbermann… If you wanna do yourself a favor, turn off your propaganda machine and unplug yourself from the matrix and begin to see the world as it really is..
You need to learn how to spell fascist if you want anyone to take you seriously - if you want to call people names you should know what they are.
SO thats your answer?
THATS your comeback?
Look, I didn’t capitalized so and thats. And I left out an apostrophe! Is that how you spell apostrophe?
Who fucken cares you bozo. You grammer nazi..
Your obviously some right-wing nut job.. (sarcasm)..
Your more likely a NWO plant trying to discredit the truth or worse yet, you are some Jewish Zionist that doesn’t want the truth to spread about whats really happening to our country or this world..
Oh and I mistakenly wrote the wrong your.. It should have been You’re. (read as You fukken retard)
The world is going to shit and your going to correct the way I spell fascist???
I hope you burn in the hell you’re creating for yourself and your kids…
“turn off your propaganda machine and unplug yourself from the matrix and begin to see the world as it really is..”
Same with you buddy. I challenge you to go one day without infowars or alex jones.
“Jewish Zionist” There are other Zionists than the jews. There are plenty of jews who are not Zionists. WTF are you getting at?
Liberty, your parents are on the telephone in the bunker; they say they’re sorry for locking you in the basement all those years and promise that therapy won’t be as bad as the battery acid waffles.
Now if its OK we should talk about releasing some hostages. I will let Satan and Jhoffax come in to chat with you if you release genep34 and Raw is willing to let you download a free spell checker program. No more alcohol though.
Sorry to interrupt but your old algebra teacher heard about the dust up and is willing to negotiate a better grade for the course. By the way did you get the message that Keith left?
Keith said, “Tell liberty to look up ‘enthymeme and syllogism’. We may not be that far apart.”
So says the scribe-puppet who gets his bi-weekly paycheck from the LARGEST DEFENSE CONTRACTOR (GE, by market capitalization) in the world.
Torture? Great!
“prolonged” secret & indefinite detention? Great!
Bombing & murdering Pakistani civilians illegally & unCONSTITUTIONALLY? And, calling it Taliban deaths, and “collateral damage?” Great!
Spying on AMERICANS? Great!
Making no qualms about Banksters owning CONgress? Great!
TARP money that went to offshore banks to satisfy 1% of their derivative obligations? Great!
Making White House the undisputed DC branch of Goldman Sachs? Great!
What the F*CK else would you call a Nazionale Socialist? One who carries on fascist/corporatist policies for his Wall St.Bankster masters, while calling it social welfare programs?
If the shoe fits, dummie…
oBUSHma = Trojan Horse for the International Banking Coterie/degenerate oligarchic douchebags.
Obama = More Of The Same.
Bankers and lobbyists in his cabinet.
Lies and broken promises.
Olberman’s daily outrage has grown trite. At some point you have to do more than talk about things that stir people up and actually initiate change.
Illiterate fashists and dummies posting here.
While many obviously do not agree with Obama’s policies, equating him to Hitler, and equating ACORN to the SS is wrong, just plain wrong, on so many levels.
It trivializes the Holocaust, and minimizes what Hitler and his SS did during WWII.
Jesus H. Fucking Christ, think, people.
yes, veronicaf, Think! What the hell do you think the “Good Germans” told themselves in lead up to Schikelgruber, aka Hitler’s consolidation of power?
The same bankster assholes who funded Hitler, mainly I.G. Farben, and Krups (yes, your favorite coffee maker manufacturer), Rothschilds and Rockefeller owned Wall St. banks, and Swiss’ Union Banking Corp, along with Bank of England, are the same assholes now FUNDING this current puppet. The accusation that oBUSHma is a Nazi, cannot be more truthful. WHat else do you call a “socialist” using pro-corporatist/fascist policies, as anything BUT a Nazional Socialisten, aka NAZI?
Woman, if as your nomer suggest is true, you need to take a cold frakkng shower. It’s time to wake the frakk up.
the current banksters that have funded, PR’d, and pushed for the last three batches of Bankster bailouts, with “TARP” cover. And got just that. Hell, at this point White House, today, is nothing more than DC Branch of Goldman-Sachs. Even Matt Taibi is catching on to this fact.
Do you people have any clue as to why it’s called “TARP?” These thug-douchebags have a sense of humor; they’re literally “COVERING” up their HEIST of the American people with a “TARP.” Capice? Haha, the laugh is on you, right? NO, the laugh is on ALL of us, with people like you consistently without fail rationalizing on behalf of a tyrant. YOu think you’re sounding any different than the GOP & neoKUNT idiots who mindlessly cheered for the establishment of DHS/”patriot” act policestate, and rah-rah’ed “FOUR MORE YEARS, FOUR MORE YEARS?”
Please, for the love of god, STOP rationalizing for a war criminal! What does it take? Do you have to reach betrayal number 53, before you wake the hell up?
YOU, along with some 50 Million American sheeple were DUPED. Admit it, first. YOU ARE RATIONALIZING an ABUSIVE Relationship.
That is precisely what you sound like; he hits you because he loves you, right?
Watch the Obama Deception on Video.Google.com for starters, for the love of god, we the FREE HUMANITY only have ONE enemy: The BankSter Oligarchs and their sycophantic minion turds. That’s it. At this juncture in history, with so much info available, with Dems most blatant betrayal of the grassroots, since their 2006 majority, with 8yrs of the village idiot’s propaganda, you have NO luxury for such mindless buying into of the fake Left vs. Right paradigm, set up BY the banking oligarchs. That idiotic control paradigm is but about a century old, named after the French parliamentary seating position, but they, as ours are now, were also BOTH funded by the banksters.
Just what the hell is it gonna take, my fellow liberal compatriots?
Yawn.
yes, veronicaf. yawn, to reason. I’m like so over this treasonous nazi asshole, next? Ooh, what’s on TV? Ooh, Olbermann praises our Lord oBUSHma’s continuing Bush’s torture program, and oh, can’t leave out the HappyMeal faces of all those deserving Pakis who got bombed on their wedding day by drones, by god, I think we have a “CHANGE” a foot.
yeah, yawn, Paris Hilton.
you’re so smart. can’t rebut. yawn, talk to the hand. yawn…
your rant, is not a rant, but a gospel. veronica, ms. he beats me ’cause he loves me.
yeh, yawn.
A little heavy here, Weshallremain. Veronica has responded to you very simply but very clearly. No need to continue further.
Perhaps you didn’t understand my post, angry young (or old) man. I made my point, no need for me to rebut your rather long and boring post.
Yawn.
This is astonishing. This may be the most aggregious example of neo-con projection I have ever seen to date. After 8 years of 2 motherfuckers that brought us closer to the brink of true fascism BY DEFINITION if not across the line than any other time in recent history, and we have to sit here and endure these braindead neo-con nutcases with photoshopped pictures of Obama as Hitler? And we have some so-called progressives here buying it? Good grief.
Progressives should know who facsists are. They should know the 14 defining points of a fascist society. They should also know that after the election we were down to at least 13 points if not less. Now I don’t expect neanderthals like “Liberty” above to understand a damn thing about fascism, but I expect more out of progressives. If you want to rail about Obama after only 6 months or less, go ahead, but don’t buy into a bunch of neo-con propaganda as seen in this story just to vent your pre-mature frustration.
Remember, neo-conservative’s suffer from severe mental illness. The leading symptom is projectionism, ie. describing your adversaries precisely as you subconsciously see yourself. They project their self-hate in an attempt to rid themselves of it. Don’t be a part of it.
so independent, oBUSHma bailing out his BankSter masters to the tune of $12.8 TRILLION (and counting, google Bloomberg News’ FOIA lawsuit against the Fed.Res.) in less than a week, is not a pro-corporatist, aka “FASCIST” action?
oBOMBa SIGNED OFF ON AIG bailout, with the full details of how the money were to be spent: anyway they see fit. And OMG, aghast, they’re surprised when you give money to criminals and they pay themselves first? They’ve literally GIVEN away 12.8 TRILLION, yes TRILLION DOLLARS of OUR MONEY, to offshore banks, and they’re gonna bullshit posture, with the idiot sheeple buying the nonsense over couple of measly millions and billions in bonuses, as if they knew nothing about it? Shit, it only passed the HOUSE, the Senate, and the Pres signed it. Are we getting how the real world works?
YOU REALLY HAVE TO STOP RATIONALIZING.
GOP dittoheads were and are dimwits. Even more laughable because current batch of neoKUNTS were and are jaded LIBERAL intellectuals from the 1960’s. You are either, as Janeane Garofalo loves to say “WILLFULLY IGNORANT,” or you don’t know your history.
Save the lessons, will ya. If you want to debate someone and define what fascism means, learn the definition, first.
Really, I see more rationalizing the indefensible from the so called intellectually enlightened liberals more so than redneck GOP dittoheads ever did, or could ever imagine. They’re idiots, what the fcuk is your excuse?
“neo-conservative’s suffer from severe mental illness. The leading symptom is projectionism, ie. describing your adversaries precisely…” Look who’s talking, talk about projecting your own insecurities. Yes, YOU WERE DUPED. Stop rooting for him, as if he were your favorite athlete or celebrity going through PR problems.
Ironic, much?
Weshallremain, rationalizing is a method of organizing fear. It is a process whereby all of the individual fears that you write about and vividly describe are ranked and ordered. This process has no beginning and end among liberals. It forms a tapestry of thought and is carried with humility and calm. Irony is expected; panic is undesirable.
weshallremain,
I am well versed in what defines fascism, I don’t need your trite, defeatist remarks. Judging by your attempts to twist projectionism back on me tells me you are either a neo-con, way off the left edge (even by my estimation), or you haven’t a clue as to the concept of projection or fascism. If you don’t see the tea-baggers as projectionists, then I don’t know why you’re even posting here. As for fascism, I never claimed that all 14 points were erased, only one or two maybe. Reread.
I question your political affiliation as you seem to be obfuscating, deflecting, and twisting the argument into a different paradigm. That won’t work with me.
Like a pre-mature ejaculation, you have “splooged” all over this thread without really knowing a damn thing about me or my position. I owe you no explanation. I don’t rationalize, I observe and make my judgements in due time.
Obviously you don’t. Kneejerk?
I am unclear about “projectionism.” When I was in school the projectionist was the guy who ran the movie projector. How would you recognize this sort of behavior?
Dear Independent,
“I am well versed in what defines fascism, I don’t need your trite, defeatist remarks.” Much to your dismay, you are not well versed in what defines fascism. And, it’s not defeatist, unless you’re the one being apathetic.
oBUSHma signing off on 12.8 TRILLION DOLLAR heist of American Taxpayers, to be paid to offshore banksters to cover a meager portion of their utterly unpayable some 50 QUADRILLION, yes it’s a actual figure, visit BIS.org (the Bank of International Settlements, the “World Bank”), IS a PRO-COROPORATIST FASCIST POLICY.
I’d call holding bondage ALL UNBORN Americans to the tune of some conservative estimate of 65,000 dollars PER CHILD, ON TOP of the current national debt, hardly “TRITE.”
“neo-con, way off the left edge” tells me that you are clueless: as if it’s not humanly possible to outside of the “TWO Party”-one party system that NO ONE FORCED YOU to adhere to.
Do you hear yourself? Would a neoCON be ANTI-war? Anti-TORTURE, PRO-Constitution? Where the hell are you from? I guess by your narrow political affiliation definition, I guess considering the way you are defending these sycophants of the bankster oligarchs, you’re probably a DLC stooge. But I have no way of proving it, but you must be. YES, I’m being facetious.
More pathetic? “…way off the left edge (even by my estimation)” and that would be bad, because…??
“I question your political affiliation as you seem to be obfuscating, deflecting, and twisting the argument into a different paradigm. That won’t work with me.”
OMG, I cannot fit you into a tiny little political paradigm box that makes me feel all secure! All this talk of dimestore psychology, you’re revealing a bit too much of your hand here. Yes, I’d call that a classic case of projection, of your insecurity.
To sum it up, how delusional? “I don’t rationalize, I observe and make my judgements in due time.” Is 12.8 Trillion GONE, in less than a week, enough? Is CONTINUING torture enough? Is “prolonged” detention enough? Is BOMBING a THIRD SOVEREIGN nation without declaring war enough?
Yes, I’d call that “RATIONALIZING” the actions of a war criminal. I think you have a cognitive disconnect between how you believe the world SHOULD work, and how it ACTUALLY works. Having more campaign money from Wall St. than McCain and Bush’s previous run COMBINED, is hardly “grassroots.” You’ve been duped and betrayed in so many ways, right now, the only thing you have left is Stockholm Syndrome. And yes, he’s holding this nation HOSTAGE to bankster sycophants in CONgress in charge.
Perhaps you may actually want to study history, and figure out how it really works. Here, I’ll help you. Every “-ism” in the last 150years have been funded by bankster oligarchs of City of London and Wall St. Google “Fabianism,” Trotsky and Lenin in NYC.
But, maybe you like the fact that oBOMBa’s FIRST JOB out of college was for Kissenger. Oh you mean, you didn’t know that?
At the rate you want to hang around and make your “judgment,” I think we’d have a MoonBase built by then. If the Chinese don’t repo our nation first.
I know you don’t want to read the words of someone you consider to be your “opponent,” but really if you want to “debate,” or if not, simply have the last say, even to just say you WON the argument against an anonymous internet threader, then for the love of god, at least have the courtesy to fully comprehend what your “opponent” is saying, before you respond. ESPECIALLY, IF you want to actually win the argument. Because really, if you can make the case, coherently, I’d give you credit, where credit is due.
But it seems you are lying to yourself about who oBOMBa really is. You’re under the common delusion that he actually runs anything. We have not had a Constitutional gvt, since the National Security Act of 1947, establishing a de facto Shadow Gvt run by the Military Industrial Complex. And we have not had a legitimate American Pres. since JFK. So oBOMBa “won” so we have no problems with black box voting, right? That issue must be put to rest right? Ask BradBlog, how he feels about that.
oBUSHma had TWO full months of transition period. There is NO greater priority than ending a war, prosecution and murdering of innocents. IF THAT’s not the FIRST thing on the Pres.’ agenda, I don’t know what is. But do you know what WAS his priority? PAYING OFF HIS BANKSTER MASTERS. He couldn’t fly back fast enough from his Pres. Campaign to vote FOR BUSH’s 1st round of Bankster bailouts. Then as soon as he got in in less than a week, I’m gonna repeat that number again, he ALLOWED THE LARGEST HEIST OF PUBLIC MONEY IN AMERICAN HISTORY. IN Fact it’s the single LARGEST transfer of money, more than ALL GOVT appropriations since the founding of our Republic, COMBINED. Our 2008 GDP was around 14 TRILLION dollars. He gave away, this is a conservative estimate mind you, 12.8 TRILLION in less than a week. Let that simmer in your head, mr/ms. I ain’t rationalizing that he’s a fascist/corporatist.
That KneeJerk enough for you?
You know what, if HR1207 and S604 is not successful, and does NOT lead to revealing who or what the as “federal” as Federal Express, FED.Reserve, actually is, to the American populace, whatever social program you think the govt should provide ain’t gonna be worth shit.
Like the Weimar Republik, or Zimbabwe, you’re gonna need a cart full of paper fiat currency to buy a loaf of bread; your elderly family members’ govt checks of any kind is NOT gonna buy them anything. It’s called hyper inflation. You cannot print your way out of debt, especially when each time a dollar is printed an automatic 10% interest is tacked on, which insures in this current system, our national debt is DESIGNED to be never paid off.
So enjoy, give Lord oBUSHma the benefit of the doubt. We won’t have a country left, when this Nazi is through with it. Yeah, he’s a Nazi. IF the shoe fits.
oBOMBa is a TROJAN HORSE, capice? He’s a better slicker salesman. Bush wore his “dickheadness” on his sleeves. Yet, oBOMBa is doing exactly the same, yet it doesn’t “feel” like it. So it must NOT be going on, eh? For so many Dems, no wars must go on, unless YOU happen to read or watch it on the news. As if murders, and rapes don’t happen out in the real world, if no one you know had been a victim of it.
-enjoy your illusions. Betrayals must mean nothing to you.
Not enough you’ve misconstrued “fascism.” You lack understanding for the most simplest of concepts like “kneejerk.” War is Peace, right?
Sir,
You are clearly someone who is in love with yourself- far beyond one of the greatest ranters I’ve ever come across. Number of words typed does not constitute an argument. You run off so many side tracks with your warped personal views of how we got here, that it’s hard to find congruence in your posts.
Consider yourself as having the last word. It’s all you really care about anyway. If you really cared about the state of this Country, or the World for that matter, you would spend more time on solutions rather than tearing down every poster on the thread, and pretending you sit on the throne of the blogosphere. I for one am not impressed. Get off your ivory tower and start providing solutions if you consider yourself such a great orator.
You have your definition of fascism, and I have mine. I have read deeply into the subject, so spare me your poetry that you think serves in lieu of knowledge. I have made no judgement on Obama as of yet, but obviously you have. I suspect you feel you have the authority to do that based on your unusual love of yourself.
And what, may I ask, were you expecting after this election was over? Your election was obviously lost in the democratic primaries. Would you have preferred a demented old man and a psychotic, self-indulging lunatic one heartbeat away? Would you even be here posting if they had won?
I would seek some type of psychiatric treatment for yourself. You come across unhinged and out of control. If you can’t conduct spirited debate without having to put yourself on a stage, then may I suggest a career in Hollywood for you? You obviously enjoy listening to yourself rant.
Thanks but no thanks for your economic lessons……I don’t need them. I understand hyperinflation and I understand the dangers of printing money, the goddamn Federal Reserve, World Bank, blah blah blah……..and spare me the quotes from 1984- I don’t need those either.
When your undying love of yourself transcends the conversation here, you will eventually find that no one wants to talk to you anymore. Count me as one of them.
My sentiments exactly, independent.
veronicaf, “My sentiments exactly, independent.” yeah, yawn. the hell with fascism = corporatism, right?
yawn. I guess delusion is also in the eye of the beholder.
Yawn, look at me, I’m not gonna respond directly, but I need a teammate to feel secure, so I’m gonna latch myself to a poor pathetic rationale, but look, I’ve got someone on my side! bravo, sista, now we know how you spent your high school days: siding with bullies wishing maybe just maybe, after enough lunch money stolen, you’ll be included in the clique. hooray!
really, veronica, speaking of projecting… insecurity and delusion truly know no bounds.
What is it gonna take? Torture? War? Occupation? Bombing Pakistani civilians? Stealing your and OUR money to give to his ULTRA ULTRA wealthy bankster buddies? or your local cop stomping his foot on your face, because the same gvt that takes you to war on lies, tortures, redefines torture as illegal, yet continue his predecessor’s torture policies.
get real. and you wonder why there is no such thing as a liberal anti-war movement anymore. as long as it’s your war, it’s hunky dory, ain’t it?
oh I forgot, yawn. truth, I druthers, but what’s it to ya?
yawn.
LOL - Perhaps if you re-read your own posts, you’d understand why … YAWN.
Perhaps you don’t quite understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinion … even if it differs from yours.
Christ, Mr. Man - calm down before you give yourself a stroke. All that anger you’ve got going on …
Veronicaf-
Don’t bother. He/she/it is so enamored with itself and perceived intelligence, that you won’t get a reasonable word in edgewise.
Like I said above, talking down to someone is a sure fire way to end up talking to yourself.
Independent, we never know who the fascists are we only know who they are like. This is the burden of history with which weshallremain struggles to explain to the fair veronica. Weshall is afraid that his remnants will not be recognizable or that during a period of repressive recognition he will be imprisoned, tortured, etc. Those are his fears and fear is what we are being subjected to by the very Neoconservative projections you point out. A fearsome lot don’t you agree?
yes, I agree, in your literal, as well as the sarcastic, iteration.
Fear is a HEALTHY survival response, especially when it’s based on clear and present danger.
The question is how does one respond? Make non sequitur irreverent quips, organize and act, or simply ignore and switch the channel? Irreverence does not negate reality, though not questioning appearance of your cool responsive demeanor.
yes, I agree, but fear is not coming from where you’re illustrating it may come from.
Fear, as a natural response, should empower you, makes you more aware. Denying history, financiers and benefactors behind the puppets, and hoping a groomed sycophant will reveal one to be something contrary, speaks volumes.
Noble Remnant, you have just demonstrated the age old axiom ” the answer is always contained in the question.” The best response to fear, as you so carelessly divine, is sarcasm. Indifference to or avoidance of fear is contrived cowardice. The kind of cowardice that is encouraged by fear mongers and their sales people in order to enslave you to their machines. Laugh in their face and drive an older model.
I distinctly remember Bush-Hitler comparisons and Hitler mustaches on his pics, for years.
Why is Obama not fair game? Because he’s black? In actuality, putting a Hitler mustache on Obama shows that it’s not about color, but the ACTIONS of a man, that count.
Saying that Obama is beyond that somehow makes ‘race’ more of the issue when it isn’t.
Obama is more and more looking like just another Bushista asshole, two peas in a pod if you ask me. Sure, I don’t mind a Hitler mustache on Obama…It fit with Bush, it fits with him.
They’re all screwing us in the ass. Who cares about Left /Right anymore?
Seriously, do logical adults still think that Democrats care more than our
former psychopaths, the Republicans?
Actually, if you think about the TOTALITY of what our country is going through, and it’s policies, they could be viewed as far worse than the movements of Germany leading up to it’s “Reich” phases. It’s just that it’s always in our faces now so we’re ‘used to it’.
I liked Olbermann more during the Bush era when he was giving Bush a good dose of daily spankings. This new version of Keith is just getting old. He speaks like an Obama mouthpiece now. Weird.
BTW, this gem from ‘herb’ is priceless:
“Illiterate fashists and dummies posting here.”
Gotta love the irony the internet is LOADED with.
To the massive number of trolls who seem to have been deployed all over the blogosphere today (apparently a part of a tea party D-Day equivalent):
Thank you for the fine forensic analysis of why you can justify equating your president, and other worthy community organizations with a fascist state and a murdering thug - because it suits your purposes. There is no justification for it, and you serve only to further sink the already-listing ship that is the republican party.
Even those of you who pretend to be “progressive” but who say you’re “fed up” with Obama - sorry, not buying. You’re a right-winger and always have been. We already recognize your tactic of creating dissent in the ranks, and sorry to inform you - it’s not going to work. We’re on to you. Your talking points don’t work anymore.
So - go ahead, wag your little fingers, wave your little teabags, and display your little swastikas.
You simply reinforce the fact that I, as a Democratic voter for this president and for this Congress - made the right decision in getting rid of the republican party in our government.
Please - continue to prove to us what traitors and low-life racist scum you really are.
And thank you for setting up 2010 to be the next republican bloodbath.
Easy Basher, they may burn tires in your front yard or detain your cat.
Today in America I was able to:
Shoot my gun, if I so pleased,
cross various borders without stopping at any checkpoints,
disagree with my government out loud, without being arrested,
practice my religion, without being attacked or tortured,
watch as others attacked the very ones who provided these freedoms, questioning the way they provide them, and be able to live another day to do it all again.
THINK AMERICA, THINK!
You are under arrest for reciting free verse poetry without a valid permit. No more limericks for you; strict iambic pentameter from here out. Thimk about it.
They didn’t take the photoshopped photo to Kinko’s, they stole the big crayola’s from their five years in the fifth grade classroom.
The precision and depth of your observation astounds us all. Fifth grade - who would have thought that they were that advanced?
Give the man a book deal, for the love of God! One should be so lucky. Enamored. Simply big-words-enamored, flooded with memes of outrageous fortunes, and of unknown origins.
I know I’m ranting, some here know and can honestly admit as much, as well; all that these net forums provide, are a minor release for the verbally stricken, and a substitute for blogs, or perhaps a column. But, what say you, sir?
You lyrical assassin, you .
Sarcasm, or literalism? Oooh…
Most esteemed remnant, how very genteel of you to nod my way. I am however agendaless and harmless and try only to encourage liveliness and reflection among the brethren. I think that we can all benefit by discourse however testy or droll it might become at times. I also think that it is a great responsibility and honor to be able to discuss these matters using the most precise descriptions that each of us can find or create. Our cumulative work no matter how modest is vital. Rant on noble Remnant, it is your trust.

As far as the book deal, an unpublished writer is allowed to keep his self respect.
Verbal on, my friend, verbal on.
I raise you a verbal non-verbal to your two rants on apropos fingertips of lyrical memes I shudder to press where it may ledger into. Neh? Oh ney, oh vey!
You just made my day… won’t tell ya what kind.
Irate, not on my ears, but upon my cheers, I raise one most noble, “agendaless” cheers. To you sir, a monkey most grinding.
Sorry guys
After re-reading my comments after 8 hours of work, I realize that I wasn’t as coherent as I thought I was.. I was just all fired up after Genep34 focused on a spelling error as a rebuttal to an otherwise flawless argument..
Now that I have my emotions in check:
Hitler, didn’t come to power over-night.. He amassed his power over a period of time.. To make the historical paralell more appropriate, I should say, obama is a young hitler.. Not the dictator hitler that we all think about, but the young ambitious hitler whose campaigns were funded by wall-street..
911 = Riecstag fire
Patriot Act = Enabling Act
“Islamic” Terrorism = Communist Terrorism
FEMA camps = Concentration camps
Wall street = wall street
rockefellar = funding both sides of the armed conflict
Hitler/obama = dictatorial powers (obama can declare
anyone enemy combatant)
Genep34, mbg3, herb, veronicaf = Nazi Sympethizer
Liberty, your specific assignment for the week is to follow up on Keith’s message to you. Enthymemes and syllogisms are the logical building blocks of syntax and rhetoric. They function almost invisibly in every sentence that you write. Fox and MSNBC are masters at manipulating them. Instead of concentrating on Adolph Hitler, you might take a look at Joseph Goebels the master propagandist of the Third Reich. Look them up on the Wikipedia.
Go and sin no more.
“Genep34, mbg3, herb, veronicaf = Nazi Sympethizer”
My, such an angry young (or old) man.
Please, praytell, explain to me how I’m a ‘nazi sympathizer’ … especially since I stated that throwing the ‘nazi’ term around willy-nilly diminishes what Hitler and his SS did to millions.
Do you even know what facism means?
I await with baited breath …
“Genep34, mbg3, herb, veronicaf = Nazi Sympethizer”
Because I question your views on all Jews or just ask you to use your own advice? Don’t assume you know my political leanings. I never said who I back, just that I think infowars and the truther circle jerks you preform in are rotting your brain.
YAWN
What? Are you functionally retarded or just dodging my questions from the beginning? Typical internet lolitic addict, only spew your nonsense and ignore questions.
Back to alternating between fapping at the chan and fapping to your Alex Jones/David Icke books for you!
Brothers and Sisters!
I wanna see a sea of hands out there
Let me see a sea of hands
I want everybody to kick up some water
I wanna hear some revolution out there brothers
I wanna hear a little revolution
Brothers and sisters
The time has come for each and every one of you to decide
Whether you are gonna be the problem
Or whether you are gonna be the solution
[That's right]
You must choose brothers
You must choose
It take five seconds
Five seconds of decision
Five seconds to realize your purpose here on the planet
It take five seconds to realize that it’s time to move
It’s time to get down with it
Brothers it’s time to testify and I want to know
Are you ready to testify?!
Are you ready?!
I give you
A testimonial
The MC5!
Always under oath here, brother.
Where was Keith when the Liberals used to protest using placards with Bush as Hitler or a Nazi? Nah Keith is not one sided, he’s the one side of the same propaganda coin. He may be the opposite of Rush and Billo but believe me he is on the same field. He is a propagandist mainstream media professional. There were very many fine patriots at these tea parties but they are never shown, only the propagandists props are shown to to belittle and to demonize the whole event. If Bush were President then Keith would do what he gets payed to do and praise this protest but Obama is on the throne now so he slams it instead. Shame on you Keith Olbermann, you are the Worst Person in the Universe!
