Wingnut reaction to Obama's speech: RHETORIC LEVEL ADVISORY: SEVERE. [View all]

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.

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'.
