Drudge Pulls "Dear Leader" headline
Drudge ^ | Today | Me

Posted on 08/04/2009 8:39:22 AM PDT by NavVet

This morning Drudge had the headline "Dear Leader" under the giant picture of Obama in front of the white house. Apparenty the picture was created by using 4th graders as a source of slave labor.

I never thought we would fall for the “Cult of Personality.” I thought our society and culture too advanced for that. I’ll bet the Germans thought the same thing.

I think the situations are quite comparable. To many in Germany, Hitler was low-life and declasse. However there were many to which his toxic mixture of nationalism, racism, and yes, hope and change were exactly what people wanted to hear.

You know, I used to think the exact same thing when I was in high school and watched those black and white videos of Hitler.

Slave labor? Care to explain that one in a little more detail?

Drudge enrages and engages on several fronts--the Joker Poster, the video of Obama threatening private health care, and now a headline challenging Toes.

Whatever happened to baracksteleprompter.com ?

The article claimed there were 1000 4th grade students. Taking a classroom size of 25 students, that would be 40 classrooms. That takes a lot of effort on the part of adults to "honor" Obama and we are seeing way too much of it in the U S.

The picture is still there, it’s over in the right column. It reminds me of the picture of Mao in Tiananmen Square, Beijing. Very fitting, I think.

Yeah, as a kid I wondered how he could be charismatic and beloved. He looked pasty, paunchy and unattractive, sported that silly mustache, and did a lot of screaming.

I also found the Holocaust hard to believe--that such a thing could happen and the general population did nothing about it. Now I'm watching US Jews trying to bring about a new Holocaust in Israel...now I understand a lot more about Germany.

“At the end of the hall, a poster covered one wall. It showed an enormous face, more than a meter wide: the face of a handsome man about forty-five, with a large, black moustache. The man’s eye seemed to follow Winston as he moved. Below the face were the words BIG BROTHER IS STILL WATCHING YOU.”

I’d like to be the first ya da ya da ya da our alien Overlord.

I grew up thinking..how in the world could Hitler have risen to power...and now I am seeing it right before my eyes.

It is even more startling given in this day and age the internet is available for research.

I think people are starting to wake up..including some in the media.

Oh, I almost forgot our "Dear Leader's" birthday (August 4, 1961).

Which hospital and doctor should we be sending our "congratulations" to?
