Let's ask James O'Keefe. Maybe he recognizes some of them from his undercover work with ACORN and Obamacare.

Seriously, in this day and age, post the photo on the web and just ask - Does anyone recognize any of these people?

So, yesterday Obama gave a speech with 19 people standing behind them, and he claimed that everyone standing behind him had benefited from the law. In fact, he encouraged people to ask them how they had benefited from Obamacare. Here's the exact quote from the speech:



Reporters were happy to do what Obama asked, so they requested the usual bios from the White House, but the White House refused to release the bios or the people's names. Apparently they weren't able to find 19 people who had actually benefited from the law, so they had to use props as lies and don't want reporters discovering that like they did last time.

This guy really lives in an alternate reality doesn't he?

The people of Germany are intelligent yet Hitler was able to pursued and blame Jews for Germany's problems using lies and propaganda. Did people believe what he would become, if anyone would have predicted it the masses would have laughed? The people bought into his propaganda and millions who Hitler blamed died.

People may not be dying now but Obama uses the same tactic, using blame and demonizing, turn the population against a group of people. It was very close to the same situation, Germany suffered economic problems.

Again, if you don't think leaders use words to manipulate, think again.

Those standing behind him at his alter are nothing more than a reflection of the press covering his worship services.

All are and always will be his 'useful idiots'.

He didn't go right for the Jews though because the people would have never accepted that.

He went for the "Communists" which started the ball rolling.

You cannot manipulate a people until you have won them over and gained their trust.

If you don't like it, stay off the forum. Get a job yourself and quit wasting your time here.

I am sure you were, and still are, disgusted with all the negative things said about W. Bush (and any repub for that matter).

The people of Germany did not support Hitler. They had goons with guns poking them in the ribs if they refused to go along. Barack has the IRS to keep people in line.

This has turned into a Hitler thread already? Our cons are in rare form today.

Maybe you should use better information sources if no one takes the ones you use now seriously. You know how denialists like to pretend a weatherman's blog is a scientific publication when it isn't because it tells them what thet want to hear? You know how denialists whine and cry about those who don't pretend the same thing? That's what you're doing. You aren't showing that your opinion has merit, you're just crying about those who don't. Why does being challenged make the right whine and cry?
