You do realize the Hitler in this story is actually Trump....

Here's a short clip of tonight's rally when he said "these are very bad people."

I don't like his rhetoric any more than most people, but he's talking about the protesters and never mentions race at all, does he? I just watched an interview the other night with Omarosa who used to work for Al Gore and she strongly defends Trump. Of course I'm not surprised, Tavis Smiley said he wouldn't be surprised if many "Black elites" (his words, not mine) vote for Trump. Just some food for thought.

"it’s telling how quiet the black elite have been, those who travel in social circles with Trump, even as he has been taken to task time and again for his racial if not racist language. There have been some exceptions — Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover come to mind — but the relative silence of the black establishment class has been chilling. Recently, I read a national newspaper feature about Trump and his relationships with notable high-profile black Americans. Interestingly, nobody really wanted to go on record criticizing The Donald."

He's the fat azz, flag dragging, 32 yr old student activist that got taken down charging the stage at a Trump rally.

Trump supporters are every bit as childlike as their hero. Amazing.

Is there ANYTHING that doesn't need to be broken down and explained to you?

"Take our country back" is a common saying among White Nationalists, please don't embarrass yourself by denying it. Trump uttered this line as one of the protesters was being removed.

I've never heard the candidate, Democrat or Republican, use speech this divisive before. Even GWB--a polarizing figure if ever there was one--never used such jargon during his presidency.

Of course he is talking about the aggressive/violent protesters.

It is good race baiting material out of proper context from the left though. The left never had a problem in 2004 using the same phrase against Bush.

I am anti-Trump, but these constant silly claims are a bit ridiculous when there are real things to criticize.

Ah yes, it signals a call by white supremacists. Who knew Obama was a white supremacist. In his own words at the, funnily enough named, Take Back America Conference. Yes, clearly a white supremacist.

Take back our country/America is such a common political phrase as evidenced above, it isn't remotely racist. There are more examples of other politicians using the same phrasing from people such as Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton or would you prefer to just admit this is an epic fail of a thread?

Please don't compare the 2. As a Jew I find it offensive every time people bring up Hitler. Turn on the History Channel one night when actual films graphically show piles of dead, naked bodies in ditches.

We've all heard the GOP calling Obama Hitler too, especially when they talk about the Affordable Care Act or when he uses Executive Orders.

One big difference between a Nazi and a Trump rally is when people gathered in large crowds to hear Hitler speak, any protester would have been shot in the head by the SS. This is not 1940 Nazi Germany. As much as I dislike what Donald Trump represents and the people he attracts, I know I can go to Walmart and say "Trump sucks" and not be arrested or sent to a death camp and, if someone punches me for saying it, he will go to jail. The military isn't gunning down dissidents.

If Trump becomes our President (Lord, I hope not) and continues to speak this way, then I'll start to really worry. In fact, maybe I should renew my passport!
