I was searching on the size of the Live 8 concerts in Berlin, which is something comparable in size to what Obama had yesterday. And I found this website.

So I guess anyone who draws a crowd of more than 50 people for a speech is now the reincarnation of Hitler. This website post was from back in MAY and the comparision was made. To me this is no different than what they did to play down Kerry's military career vs. the Bush's AWOL military service. Take something extremely positive (IE Kerry being a decorated war hero, Obama having a very large, peaceful turnout to hear him speak) and make something really negative out of it (ie Swiftboating or comparing large crowds to Hitler rallies).

I have a feeling that this website and what Ben Stein has said will NOT be the last time we'll hear comments about the crowd sizes for Obama gatherings. The right wing knows the only way that many people will show up for a McCain rally is to count in all the protesters. So they have to find a way to make it extremely negative to help turn this bad situation (for the repukes) into their favor).

So even though I think it's amazing so many people want to hear Obama speak - the right wing is gonna use the Hitler crowds as an example that this is suppose to be some sort of bad thing.
