It's been awhile since any high profile politicians or pundits have compared their opponents to Nazis.
So Rush Limbaugh has filled that void today, saying that President Obama's campaign symbol looks like a swastika.
He's got video and graphics up on his web site right now to make his case.
And whenever someone in politics compares the other side to Nazis, the other side is sure to express outrage.
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokeswoman Jennifer Crider:
Rush Limbaughs comparison of the Democratic Party to the Nazi Party in World War II is as disgusting as it is shocking," Crider said. "Limbaughs use of the Nazi swastika in attempting to make a tasteless political comparison has no place in the public discourse."

She needs to go. We want America Strong to represent us.
To a certain extent, what do you think the demonization of Wall Street is all about? Like the movie industry, certain groups think Jews run it.
There may be a few who hate Wall Street for that reason, but I think Obama and some Wall Street banksters are on the same side. Goldman Sachs gave $1M to the Obama campaign, lobbies for Crap and Trade, and is getting ready to rob all of us via "carbon credits."
Paulson, Corzine, Liddy, Thain, and Patterson are not Jewish names. Not sure about Kashkari, I would guess it's not either. I am not anti-Semetic nor anti-wealth, I am anti-Ferengi.
Perhaps not, because during WWII, Americans were the Nazis' enemies. But prior to WWII, many liberals admired and supported the Nazis and Hitler, John Kennedy's father, for one. Also, though I don't know his political affiliation, I remember clearly that Charles Lindburgh was an admirer of Hitler.
They supported the Communists in WWII.
How many times did they compare President Bush to the Nazi’s? They can dish it out but they can’t take it. B’tards!!!
Buddy, you really need to bone-up on your pre-WWII and WWII history. Your statement above is ONLY correct if you delete the word "some" and insert the word "ignorant" in front of "people" so it reads: "I guess for the purpose of ignorant people ..."
May I recommend first reading Herman Wouk's excellent novels, Winds of War and War and Remembrance, which while fiction, are historically correct and very well researched. (The TV miniseries, while good, doesn't remotely cover the detailed history as the books do). After reading them, read "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William Shirer -- it's easier and more interesting to read when you're coming from the solid background that Wouk provides.
Until you educate yourself, however, you're talking out your ass when you express outrage at VERY appropriate historical comparisons between the Democrat party in America today, and the Nazis' rise to power in pre-WWII Germany.
What’s Johnny Carson doing in here?
Very excellent! That post in its entirety — I see a new poster in the making!
No, He hasn’t. They earned their crowns.
This kind of misconception comes from watching too many made-for-TV documentaries and not reading enough in-depth books on the REAL history of Nazism. *sigh*
Steven, educate yourself.
I read it on Glenn Thrush’s site.
Wow, what a persuasive argument you make. why even bother posting?
Steven's post 105: Obama is an extreme leftist. He is very scary as far as I am concerned, and I am Jewish. I know of no Jews who served in Hitlers Cabinet, perhaps you can enlighten me on that. I know Obama has quite a few Jewish Cabinet members and key appointees.

And poor old Steven is just like the German jews of the late '30s -- naive and gullible.
Yes, and during WWII, the communists in Russia were our allies.
You're lazy, dear. Plain and simple.

I was going to respond about the same but you said perfectly. Thanks.
“But too many people here seem to be taking Limbaugh literally, they seem to think that Rush really thinks Obama and Pelosi are true Nazis. Of course, the whole thing is hilarious . . .”
He does. If it walks like a duck and squawks like a duck, it’s a duck.
Oh, by the way, the same goes for you. You are a plant, newbie. If you walk like a duck, ....
But the swastika was originally a sign of ‘hope’!!!
