Wingnut reaction to Obama's speech: RHETORIC LEVEL ADVISORY: SEVERE.

Courtesy of the excellent Roy Edroso:

Here's a passage from an Instigator News essay with the something-for-everyone title, "Pavlov, Orwell, Alinsky, Hitler, and Obama: A Synthesis of Evil":

I offer here just a few points from an early platform of Hitler’s Nazi Party, courtesy of The History Place. With the exceptions regarding Germany’s nationalism and disdain for immigrants, they’re almost identical to the policies we’ve seen proposed and/or enacted by the Obama administration.

...
OK, that's fun, but come on, these are bottom feeders; surely no one legitimate is saying such stupid--

Matthew Vadum @vadum

Hitler had his enabling act. Obama has his executive amnesty. #tcot 'p2

-- Huh. Well, guy's an American Spectator writer, that's still pretty fringe. The really big boys know it's ix-nay on the itler-Hay until this impeachment thing gets a little traction. Thus, Rich Lowry at Politico:

Barack Obama, American Caudillo

See? It even sounds Messican!
...
UPDATE. Shit, how'd I miss this -- Burt Prelutsky at Bernard Goldberg's site, on previous casus bellow Jonathan Gruber:

All in all, I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that it has to be more than mere coincidence that “Gruber” sounds like “goober” and that Adolf Hitler’s birth name happened to have been Schicklgruber.

I love the "except for Germany’s nationalism and disdain for immigrants, he's just like Hitler!!!!" Yes, except for the defining characteristic of the Nazis ... though it's telling that a program of genocide is described as 'disdain'.

5. Yea, I hope he sticks with this approach for the next 2 years.

Every week, do something else to just drive them nuts.

They can't pass legislation.

Make them howl.

6. Again and again I've heard the sentiment...

That, as a result of Obama's nightmarishly apocalyptic and unprecedented executive over-reach, the upcoming Republican congress might block nominations and otherwise obstruct Obama's agenda.

In other words, they'll continue doing exactly what they've been doing since January 20 2009.

7. It is days like this.....that I love this President!

this is his 12th dimensional Chess....he does this to them over and over!

8. Hitler offered amnesty to ethnic minorities who had been living

German territory? Nope, quite the opposite actually. How does the Hitler reference even enter into this? WTF?

9. I welcome...

... their apoplexy. They are fucked and Obama can and I'm starting to actually believe WILL do this and there isn't jack shit they can do about it.

And should they manage to find anything concrete they CAN do to reverse or limit this, they will lost latino votes for generations.

They are getting what they deserve after treating Obama as they have.

10. Just as a point of interest, Hitler's birth name was Hitler.

Hitler's father Alois was born out of wedlock to Maria Anna Schicklgruber. The acknowledged father, Johann Heidler, eventually married Maria but never bothered to legitimize Alois. In 1876, however, Johann's brother took the necessary steps to legitimize Alois and to legally change his name (at some point the name Heidler became Hitler).

Thus, 12 years before Adolf was born, his father was calling himself Hitler. Adolf was never known by any other name but Hitler.

12. More wingnut heads exploding, via Charles Pierce and Right Wing Watch:

The chair recognizes Ms. Schlafly:

President Obama's looming executive action on immigration reform represents a Fort Sumter-type moment, according to conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly. Schlafly at first considered comparing the Obama amnesty to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor but decided that Obama's plan is much more subtle. "With Pearl Harbor, the American people knew what was happening," she said.
But Fort Sumter, where the opening shots of the Civil War were fired, represented the beginning of a ruinous conflict, and Schlafly, like fellow conservative luminary Richard Viguerie, speculates that an executive amnesty might touch off a sort of modern-day conflagration.

Ms. Schlafly yields to Mr. Kobach:

"What protects us in America from any kind of ethnic cleansing is the rule of law, of course," Kobach responded. "And the rule of law used to be unassailable, used to be taken for granted in America. And now, of course, we have a president who disregards the law when it suits his interests. So, while I normally would answer that by saying, ‘Steve, of course we have the rule of law, that could never happen in America,' I wonder what could happen. I still don't think it's going to happen in America, but I have to admit, things are strange and they are happening."

-

Who, in turn, yields to a whole passel of dangerous lunatics.

"Obama is making a powerful and dangerous symbolic declaration to large Spanish media audiences today comparing his new immigration orders to the violent Mexican revolution and civil war!" said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. "Obama is timing his move to thwart the American public's voice in Congress to coincide with Mexican Revolution Day and the Ferguson verdict while CBS, ABC, and NBC will keep most US citizens oblivious tonight!"

The civil war! Pearl Harbor! Ethnic cleansing! The Mexican revolution! Surely a comparison to the anti-Christ and Revelation can't be far behind?
