If you think Obama is like the Nazis, you need a history lesson

I hope this column makes you sick.

See, we'll be talking about Nazis, something many of us are doing lately. Indeed, just this week a fellow named Joseph e-mailed me about a caller he heard on a radio show. The man, vexed over health-care reform, likened President Obama to Adolf Hitler. Asked why, he said, "Hitler took over the car companies, then health care and then he killed the Jews."

Said Joseph: "I almost swerved my vehicle off the road when I heard that."

But the caller is hardly unique. Google "Obama + Nazis" and you get almost 7 million hits. Nor is the phenomenon new. Substitute President Bush's name and you get nearly 2.8 million.

Even granting that many of those hits are benign, it seems obvious the Nazis have invaded American political rhetoric in a big way. As in Rush Limbaugh declaring health-care reform "a Hitler-like policy," swastikas popping up at protest rallies, a poster depicting Obama with Hitler's moustache and a pamphlet that says: "Act Now to Stop Obama's Nazi Health Plan!"

It's important to remember that the Nazis are passing out of living memory; U.S. soldiers of that era are said to be dying at the rate of 1,200 a day. Which makes it too easy, I think, for a nation of notorious historical illiteracy to remake the Nazis as some kind of all-purpose boogeymen for slandering political enemies and scoring cheap rhetorical points.

So I thought it would be good to make you sick, i.e., to spend a few minutes reminding some and teaching others what you invoke when you invoke the Nazi regime.

For the record, then: It was Nazis who shoved sand down a boy's throat until he died, who tossed candies to Jewish children as they sank to their deaths in a sand pit, who threw babies from a hospital window and competed to see how many of those "little Jews" could be caught on a bayonet, who injected a cement-like fluid into women's uteruses to see what would happen, who stomped a pregnant woman to death, who once snatched a woman's baby from her arms and, in the words of a witness, "tore him as one would tear a rag."

That's who the Nazis were, ladies and gentlemen -- those obscenities plus 6 million more. They were the triumph of ideology over reason and even over humanity, the demonization of racial, religious and political difference, the objectification of the vulnerable other. And the authors of a mass murder that staggers imagination, still.

You would think, then, that where they are invoked to draw a parallel or make a point, it would be done with a respect for the incalculable evil the Nazis represent. You would think people would tread carefully, not because of the potential insult to a given politician (they are big boys and girls) but because to do otherwise profanes the profound and renders trivial that which ought to be held sacred by anyone who regards himself as a truly human being.

But in modern America, unfortunately, rhetoric often starts over the top and goes up from there. So fine, George W. Bush is "a smirking chimp." Fine, Barack Obama is "a Chicago thug." We have a Constitution, after all, and it says we can say whatever we want. It doesn't say it has to be intelligent.

And yes, you are even protected if you liken Obama or Bush to Hitler. Yet every time I hear that, it makes me cringe for what it says about our collective propensity for historical amnesia and our retarded capacity for reverence. Once upon a lifetime ago, 6 million people with DNA, names and faces just like you and I, were butchered with gleeful sadism and mechanistic dispatch.

You and I may no longer respect one another, but is it asking too much that we still respect them?

Maybe the Nazi/Hitler comparison wouldn't carry such a profound emotional effect if the Holocaust hadn't been so exaggerated in the first place. It should be just as horrible accusation to compare obama to the pope,the catholics,or the vatican.I'm sure they are responsible for killing just as many if not more people than Hitler's Nazis.no matter what the questionable statistics are.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see if 6 million die from swine flu or the vaccine.Whatever the outcome, I'll still have respect for you,dude.
You refer to horrible dehumanizing crimes committed by monsters who used nazi extremism to take and abuse power. I am sure ALL nazis did not do what you described, or would have wanted to.
When Obama policies are compared to nazi policies, it is important to remember that it is the policies that allow for the dehumanization. National socialism is NOT a dirty word. It HAS a definition which fits the present course of this nation.
In the past, that course led to the horrible results you describe. However, the term nazi was claimed long before that abuse of power. American policy is being compared to the early stages of that movement, not the latter. The reason it is important to use the example, is to illustrate where those policies led.
Hitler did not start out killing babies and Jews it happened over several years of the people not standing up to tyrany and looking the other way when their neighbors starting disapearing. And Christians except for a few not standing up and defending their freedoms. Obama has Nazi/Communist tendencies and very strong ones at that. He also is not a U.S. born citizen kind of like Hitler was not German born, remember he was Austrian like the Governator of California who also has some Hitlerian tendencies. Don't be fooled the same people who funded Hitler are behind Obama as were behind Bush 1and 2 and Clinton and on and on. These are the history lessons that people need to be students of. As far as smirking chimps and Chicago thugs what were the writers of the Constitution calling King George before the war of independence??????????? And that dude's taxes and his "long train of abuses and usurpations",were nothing compared to what we are enduring at the hands of the NWO and their minions and puppets. Obama a Hitler, no, he may be even worse if we don't keep the pressure on.
"approximately One Hundred&Ten MILLION slaves had been removed from their native land (by the Jewish-run slave trade). About ten percent, or ELEVEN MILLION, Black slaves reached the Colonies alive."
Quoted from (link):"Who Brought the Slaves to America?"

just dug up this bumper sticker from 1992. I remember getting it along with another one that said"Government:The Big Lie", which i stuck on my truck .soon after, I got pulled over and the cop was unforgiving,to say the least. My Dad found out and made me take it off and replace it with an NRA sticker.I've put up the NRA on every vehicle since. although I've been pulled over many times, I still haven't gotten a ticket in 17 years.I guess the message is cops like guns , not dissenters.fuckin' NAZIS! lol.
