County Commissioner Phil Duckham was also there in opposition. He carried a sign with a swastika on it and compared Obama to Adolf Hitler.

"This is how Hitler started out," Duckham said. "First, Obama took over the auto industry, then the banking industry. We don't need him to take over the health-care industry."

1. Amazing an elected official could be this dumb

2. Seriously?

I'd say he was the rule, not the exception, when it comes to politicians.

4. Is there a secret school that all these idiots attend?

7. I may be slow but something just occurred to me. Is he and others like him saying that

that they identify with "Jews"? Are they saying that they are martyrs? Is this a misdirected Christian Right Extremist thing? Are they saying because Obama is Black that he will kill all the Whites? What the F is he saying? Someone help me out here. This crap is scary.Is it Extremest Religious slash Racist code?????

6. I hope some future opponent has that pic tucked away for use later

8. Actually, Bernanke-Paulson took over the banking industry

if you count giving them all trillions of dollars with no strings attached a takeover. And this was done before the auto industry bailout.

At any rate, this is profoundly ahistorical, akin to comparing 9-11 to the Reichstag fire. Oh, wait, that one actually makes sense. My bad.

I won't look at the article, because I know the crowd on the cit-pat message board is gonna be filled with RW nutjobs.
