Moron Sarah Palin praises column linking Obama, Hitler
Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin on Friday encouraged her supporters to read an article comparing the BP escrow fund to Nazism.

“This is about the rule of law vs. an unconstitutional power grab,” Palin tweeted, urging her followers to “Read Thomas Sowell’s article.”

The article Palin points to was published on Monday and alikens President Barack Obama to Adolph Hitler, saying the U.S. president is stripping away the freedom of his citizens without mass protest.

“When Adolf Hitler was building up the Nazi movement in the 1920s, leading up to his taking power in the 1930s, he deliberately sought to activate people who did not normally pay much attention to politics,” Sowell wrote.

“In our times, American democracy is being dismantled piece by piece, before our very eyes by the current administration in Washington, and few people seem to be concerned about it.”

Sowell then wrote that Obama is exceeding his legal authority by creating the $20 billion fund, designed to pay claims for damages resulting from the ongoing oil spill off the Gulf Coast.

“Just where in the Constitution of the United States does it say that a president has the authority to extract vast sums of money from a private enterprise and distribute it as he sees fit to whomever he deems worthy of compensation? Nowhere,” the conservative columnist wrote.

“And yet that is precisely what is happening with a $20 billion fund to be provided by BP to compensate people harmed by their oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.”

Sowell also compares the American public under Obama to the “useful idiots” who followed Lenin's creation of the Soviet Union.

A Palin spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Democratic National Committee seized on the remarks, blasting a story highlighting Palin’s tweet. Liberal groups also expressed outrage over Palin’s endorsement of the story.

“Sowell’s article would be ridiculous if it weren’t so vile, and it deserves to be marginalized. That Palin, a leader of the Republican Party, would encourage her hundreds of thousands of Twitter followers to read it, while implying her agreement with its argument, is troubling,”

People for the American Way President Michael B. Keegan said in a statement. “Does Palin agree with Sowell that President Obama’s work to hold BP accountable for the worst oil spill in American history can be compared to the actions of Hitler?”

1. Hitler embraced and gave Businesses Power they had never had.
Fascism is the merger of Corporations and the State.
Mussolini tells us we should call it Corporatism.

Fascism is an ideology of the Right.

As usual when the GOP are Guilty of something they use
Projections. They project onto others that which they
are doing or being.

The Party of Big Business has Deregulated and given the
Business Establishment more power than it has ever had.

Now they jump out naa nnnaa nnaaaa, the Democrats are
acting like Hitler. I say which party serves BIG BUSINESS
as a matter of Policy??? The GOP is the only correct answer.

5. @SarahPalinUSA
My tweets:
She says it is evil to activate people who don't normally pay attention to politics.
She is against payment for oil damages in GoM.
