Yeah, my computer is too slow to watch the clip....I just read what it said above it on the Huffington page. The point is though, the reference is not about Obama killing people or the holocaust....it's about Germany's socialist policies during that era. Now on the other hand, George W. Bush was compared to Hitler all the time and when they made that comparison, they were talking about killing people (because of the Iraq war).

They have failed to invest honest effort toward the goal of becoming well-informed citizens capable of reaching rational and intelligent opinions, conclusions, and decisions regarding matters of public policy.
In other words, they think for themselves and do not take what you say as being the only side to an issue? Gee, that must be frustrating for you.

Ah, equivocation! That is squirming in the liberal vocabulary. And it didn't answer the question. Either you are robbing your employer or lying. Either one speaks volumes on your credibility.

Having delusions of grandeur again?

Just exactly how does furniture behave? Does it ask you questions that you don't want to answer? What exactly have you been taking?

If the minimum requirements you refer to are the art of deflection and lying, you are certainly qualified. As for rejection, if you are in a position of authority, I would not even try to join your organization. I prefer one where diverse opinions are welcome and thinking only those thoughts provided to you is rejected.

It is called freedom. Someday you might consider the concept.

Now who is associating health care with nazism? You keep bringing it up as a comparison.

It is interesting when people think that they can use a symbol that invokes pain and incredible tragedy for millions of people and divorce it from the events that made that symbol so notorious, in order to use it for a discussion about health care in a democratic country. A perfect example of entitlement: "Hey, just forget about the Holocaust. We are just using it--sometimes even with a line for 'NO!--to talk about policies."

And socialism and national socialism are two different things.

Do you know how to use multiple quotes?

Like Annie said people need to actually learn their history. Stop spewing all the crap you hear on Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, and actually get your own opinion from your own research.
Spewing what crap from Fox news or Limbaugh....Dukester's link is to a page on Huffington post. I read what it said and it didn't mention Hitler and there are no pictures on the page....I can't watch the video (my computer is too slow). What do you mean by everybody knows what she's trying to communicate....what is she trying to communicate? It can't have anything to do with Hitler and the Holocaust....what comparison could possibly be made about Obama and the genocide Hitler was responsible for. Here's another Huffington Post link about a guy carrying a 5 foot Obama-Hitler poster at Dingell's townhall meeting....what message is he trying to communicate:

Chris Savage: Raucous Politics -- Rep. John Dingell Calmly Faces "The Screamers"

Let's not forget, there were tons of comparisons of Bush to Hitler....and those were comparisons about the genocide Hitler caused & war crimes (not government policy).

As I see it, the point of contention is the method of reform, not the need. The biggest bone of contention is that neither side will compromise an iota to achieve a workable solution.

Ah, the liberals attempt to redirect the discussion again, without full knowledge of the topic.

Typical when they have nothing to contribute.
