Is McCain Subliminally Associating Obama With Hitler?
EconomicPolicyJournal.com ^

Posted on 07/18/2008 4:47:02 PM PDT by Kozman

John McCain is out with a new attack ad on Barack Obama, ala Mike Huckabee's famous cross in the background, there is enough deniability(Obama's fingers are open not closed) to say nothing was intended, but for those who want to see a Nazi salute it's probably there.

Here's the ad(approximately 12 seconds into the ad), judge for yourself:

It’s a bit of stretch.

I disagree. I think the ad portrays Obama in an unserious light. In the shot in question, it seems very light and breezy, almost like he’s dancing. I didn’t listen to it the first time, and as I suspected, the tone of voice and music was heavy and serious, which just highlighted the smiling, nonchalant Obama.

What offends them is the true message of the add which is Obama is not consistent, not logical and not up to becoming POTUS.

Basically, they want anything about Obama that rings true to be taken off limits—grandmother, pastor, wife and radical friends all have been abandoned.

There is no way they will be able to escape what Obama has said and done. He has done very little and said a lot. In saying a lot he has changed and is changing positions as the polls require.

So now waving with the arm higher than the shoulder is a subliminal Nazi salute. That is funny, because such waves are often used in most politician's own positive advertising.

You certainly will never see McCain with one of these. He can't raise his shoulder that high.

That’s looking way too hard at something that’s simply not there. It’s a photo of Obama waving. It’s not remotely suggestive of a nazi salute. Nonsense.

The fact is Kozman, that those of us Freepers who are historians recognize in Obama , all the historical qualities in a fascist politician, repeatedly exemplified by fascist leaders of Britain, Spain ,and Italy. Obama is stereotypically a nascent fascist.

There need be nothing subliminal about that. Just take a good look at Obamas activities in Kenya while campaigning for his cousin: Rial Odinga.Facist all the way in technique, style and method.

Hell Obama was already talking about starting his own separate police force, much like the SS of the Nazis.

There is more to this than subliminal possibilities in advertising.Obama is a fascist in the making.
