Very young children often have imaginary friends. Most grow out of this phase. Not our dear friends on the Tea Party right. They have an Imaginary Tyrant they play with every day. His name is Barack Hussein Obama.

Emphasis always on the “Hussein.”

It’s been all the rage now for five years. Glenn Beck and Michael Savage love to insist that President Obama is equal to Hitler. Or Stalin. Or Mao. They might as well compare him to Barney the Purple Dinosaur. It makes as much sense.

Tyranny often involve guillotines.

An article in the New York Times today might highlight the difference. The Times reports that the guillotine used to execute Sophie Scholl and her brother Hans has been found. The two young Germans were part of the White Rose protest movement during World War II. On February 18, 1943, they were spotted distributing anti-government leaflets. They were arrested, tried and convicted, and beheaded in only four days. (The story is told in a harrowing 2005 film: Sophie Scholl: The Final Days, if anyone is interested.)

By contrast, here in America, Tea Party protests typically involve signs portraying Obama as Hitler. And yet, no one gets killed.
