Plugs Biden locked some reporter in a closet.

Dems, they don’t need no stinkin’ laws, rules or standards of conduct. That stuff is for the little people.

This is from the Wikipedia article about Nazi Propaganda. Substitute "Jews" for "Conservatives" and "radio" for "television" and you may get a glimpse of Obama's vision...

The Propaganda Ministry used many media to further the National Socialist message and maintain control over the people. Posters, newspapers, publishing, and the arts were all used and explicitly controlled by the Ministry.

Speeches were also used to great effect by the German Government. Goebbels commented on Hitler's first speech as Chancellor: "It will have great propaganda value...be used and viewed in cinemas for years to come...what an achievement." Just before Hitler delivered this speech Goebbels introduced him and used the opportunity to highlight the importance of propaganda. "It seems you cannot have a good government without good propaganda, but then, you can't have good propaganda without a good government. However, you cannot lie! We must never lie! It is the Jews who must be made to pay for their lies to our people!” However, perhaps the most iconic speech of the whole second World War was also a product of the German Propaganda Ministry. Dr. Goebbels’ Sportpalast speech which was delivered after the German defeat at the Battle of Stalingrad was intended to build popular support for "total war." Hitler did make speeches over the radio but his speeches in person (i.e., the Nuremberg Rallies) were more effective uses of his oratorical skills.

"I consider radio to be the most modern and the most crucial instrument for influencing the masses.." was a famous and important quote from Goebbels. Radio was undoubtedly exploited to its full potential by the Nazis. Radio manufacturers received grants from the government to build cheaper receivers; these sets were manufactured so that they could not pick up foreign, non-Nazi broadcasts. In addition, criminal penalties were set in place for listening to non-German radio stations; by the height of World War II, persons in Nazi Germany or in lands under Nazi occupation could be executed for this act.

Since 2008, every time I see a documentary on Nazi Germany and Hitler, I am struck by the similarities between then and now and Hitler and Obama. The strange upbringings BHO and Hitler had, the personalities (and their disorders), etc. I am sure you know as well as I do all the many similarities of that time and this, right down to the media control and control of the people. Scary stuff and we need to get Hussein out of the White House using the ballot box in 2012. And no RINO will do, we need a real American who knows the danger of the path we are on. We cannot have “meet the new boss, same as the old boss” again.
(Preaching to the choir, I know!)
