Obama Compares U.S. to Hitler’s Germany

Frankly, I subscribe to the theory that once Hitler is used as a comparison, the discussion is over.

Der Precious compared us the Nazi Germany? How ironic, as he has followed in Der Fuhrer’s footsteps with his race baiting, control of the media and his own version of the Hitler youth.

OT

The tape that could once and for all seal the record on Obamas radical views and ties.
LA Times has the tape and surpresses its release.
Obama’s glowing testimonial to Rashid Khalidi.

National Review Online’s Andrew McCarthy has another great piece out today which would be headline-making news in the mainstream media if it were about a Republican.

In 2003, Obama, then an Illinois state senator, attended a party for Rashid Khalidi. Khalidi’s friends were bidding him farewell as he left his post as a professor at the University of Chicago to go to Columbia University.

Khalidi was the spokesman for Yasser Arafat when he headed up the PLO, and not surprisingly, is a vocal critic of Israel.

But Obama didn’t just attend the gathering. He gave a glowing testimonial to Khalidi, as did Bill Ayers

O’Reilly spoke of the tape last night and it is once again an outrage not to disclose this to the voters.

Plus to compare the history of slavery in America to what the Jews underwent in the Holocaust is downright ignorant. Obama should have his ass kicked
and I mean KICKED step by step into the Holocaust museum in D.C. And he should have to take his stupid face and look at all those people went through.
And then for good measure Obama should have his ass kicked all the way to Chicago where he can spend
a winter in a crappy apartment in a Tony Rezko delux supreme tenement.
And then he should have his ass kicked all the way to New York where 200 media gnats can villify him for breathing like they have Clinton and Palin.
And then he should have his ass kicked into the ocean.

Welll….if you compare Hitler’s speech in 1925 on the eve of his Putsch (which failed btw) And several of the speeches Barry has given they are contexually the same. Entire paragraphs of Hitler’s words have been traslated and lifted into Barfy’s work including his blather in the strofoam amphatheater.

He is dangerous.

Matthew, you are such a good writer! At first, I thought that Michelle was the only member of the family who really does not like her country…apparently, that is not the case. It is down to the wire. The WaPo online edition Opinion Page is littered with support for The One this morning. I only pray that 51% of Americans will get out the vote for John McCain. MSM and ACORN need to know, forevermore, that you cannot use dis-information and voter fraud to influence and steal elections.
I did my part…voted yesterday for McCain/Palin!!!!

Obama is a complete and utter loathsome slob. IMHO rarely is it ever helpful to compare or equate wounds. Obviously groups of people suffer from a variety of injustices and those should be respected listened to and dealt with – but his use here is really offensive. Really. As a child of a parent who survived Hitler’s insanity I am beyond digusted. Beyond. Either he doesn’t know what the $uck he is talking about or he is a disgraceful hate baiting lunatic.

America took part in the slave trade, but it was a trade which had been booming for over 2000 years between Africa and the Middle East. Slavery didn’t define the foundation of America, rather it was the old way of the world, a way in which Americans unfortunately took part in our early history.

However, for an idea of the real nature of America, observe that we practiced slavery for the shortest time of any country which practiced it, before we inevitably said no, this is wrong.

It was then that America and Britain, at tremendous cost to themselves, mobilized their entire navies with the express purpose of ending the slave trade worldwide. No other countries have done more to end the trade – and our biggest opponents were Africans themselves – who had flourished in a trade of human which ran the full spectrum from indentured servitude through forced labor through child sacrifice. Indeed when America and Britain set up the colonies for freed slaves, like Liberia, the Africans were the greatest objectors and actually committed raids on the free slaves, capturing and re-enslaving some.

America carried the torch of the Enlightenment from Europe where it had started. We pioneered the principles of individual rights and liberty. We pioneered the concept of civil rights, more so than any other nation. There is so much good to be seen in America – the far left crowd of which Obama is a part never sees it this way. We are to them a great evil who can only be “rehabilitated” by their “morally superior” ways. We are to be derided and condemned at every step of the way. I do not wish such people to take the reins of this country. Anyone who compared us to Nazi Germany is an infantile moron with no objective sense of judgment.

I just want to post something I found over at Uppity’s great blog:

Email Address of Reporter Who Has Video Of Obama Giving Tribute To Mr. PLO — Rashid Khalidi

peter.wallsten@latimes.com

Peter Wallsten needs to quit playing with the future of this country, do his job and release the tape or be fired. That’s my HO.

Great post Matthew!!!

I’d bold a few sections like –

I mean you have got WWII you have got the doctrines of Nazism that we are fighting against that start to look uncomfortably similar to what is going on back here at home.

It really is an incredible comparison to make. That in the ear of WWII, american’s treatment of blacks was similar to Nazism. Wow.

So glad to have NQ back and stronger then ever!

Matthew, quite apart from the outrageous content of Obama’s thought, I am struck by how ill-formed his rhetoric actually is. This is not a man of great eloquence without his teleprommpter. His “paragraphs” of thought are meandering and lame. They are full of pompous sounding vague phrases that tend to obfuscate whatever it is he is trying to say: “the NAACP mounts systematic thoughtful strategy to lay bare the contradictions that are embodied in the doctrines and ideological structures that the court is working with.” Huh??? Yawn . . .

Typewriterstreamer says

“Either he doesn’t know what the $uck he is talking about or he is a disgraceful hate baiting lunatic.”

oowawa says:

“Matthew, quite apart from the outrageous content of Obama’s thought, I am struck by how ill-formed his rhetoric actually is.”

As far as I am concerned, these two comments sum up Obama’s world-changing views on just about everything.

That so many people and the media especially, not just in this country, but apparently many other places as well, are falling for this charlatan is truly frightening.

Barring a miracle, Obama is going to appropriate the office of the Presidency. I believe McCain is being sabotaged by his own party, just as Hillary was.

One only has to look at the fact that the Obama campaign has returned to campaign in PA this week to know that McCain is gainig support in PA and Obama is losing support.

Obama’s radical agenda is hemorrhaging votes in states like PA.

Mac is Back and will win PA!

PUMAS in PA and MANY Democratis and Independents will join up with Republicans in PA and get out the vote to send Obama and his radical agenda back to Chicago where it belongs!!

Country First!!

McCain-Palin ‘08

ROAR PUMAS ROAR!!

They say you can tell what states a candidate is worried about by which states they’re visiting in the last days of the campaign.

0bama is in PA AND VA today – ha ha! – where he, according to the “polls” is up big.

Obama takes the oath to uphold the constitution if (a big if) he gets elected. But how can he do that when he has this world view — that it is a flawed document?

It is a “red herring” to focus on the distinction between the evils of slavery and segregation and the evils of the holocaust. At that scale, evil is just evil and parsing levels of evil is the game of the immoral and unethical. We must not be distracted by this.

The important issue here is that Obama represents a strain of far-left authoritarian thought that does not believe the Constitution is enough to redress wrongs. They forget that it is judicial opinion on the Constitution that has allowed the civil rights movement to prosper. They forget that the Constitutional amendment process is what gave African-Americans the right to vote and paved the way to greater freedoms. Our system is DESIGNED to redress its own wrongs by the application of Constitutional principles. The so-called “contradictions” are what occurs when one group doesn’t like how the process has worked out thus far. But our Constitution isn’t about the needs of one group. It’s about the needs of EVERYONE. And apparently, even the pro-civil rights Earl Warren court isn’t “radical” enough for Obama. Obama wants judges who will be so radical that they will overlook the Constitution altogether, which begs the question why have a Constitution in the first place. Also, they overlook that there is a Constitutional process for CHANGING the constitution through amendments ASSUMING THE REQUISITE NUMBER OF AMERICANS WANT THE CHANGE AND CHOOSE IT THROUGH THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS ESTABLISHED BY THE CONSTITUTION. What Obama and his minions are about is forcing people to accept the kind of change they want outside the system. And our system was designed exactly to PREVENT any such group from forcing their will on the people. That’s why they favor Alinsky-style organization, that’s why Bill Ayers and his ilk are authoritarian freaks, that’s why ACORN and the SEIU union do what they do. That’s why George Soros’ so-called “pro-transparency” organizations are as transparent themselves as a block of lead. Make no mistake about it, Obama and his ilk are anti-Democratic and therefore anti-American. There are no two ways to slice it

Roger Kimball:

What I find depressing about this–as, indeed, about the whole Obama juggernaut–is the extent to which it represents a return of bad ideas that have already been tried time and again, have failed and made people poorer and less stalwart, and yet seem poised to make a sorry comeback once again. I’ve written about the “déjà-vu-all-over-again” phenomenon before in this space. Bill Ayers? Haven’t we done that? Jeremiah Wright? Haven’t we done that, too? Haven’t we tried Obama’s “soak the rich,” anti-business economic policies? Haven’t we tried his “can’t-we-all-just-get-along” foreign policy? Don’t we know that economics is about the creation rather than the redistribution of wealth, and that low taxes and strategies that encourage productivity and investment are best calculated to make the entire society, including the less fortunate, more prosperous? Don’t we know where appeasement and capitulation get us in foreign affairs? Don’t we remember Jimmy Carter? Haven’t we learned anything?

Obama compared the US to Nazi Germany? Fine. I compare Obama to Stalin. So far, I think Stalin is a fitting metaphor for Captain BS.

Sounds like some Rev. wright stuff to me

GD America
US of KKKA
Kill Whitey

wow… talk about change we can believe in

Good analysis; the horrors of the holocaust where people were EXTERMINATED can’t compare to slavery what so ever

My Jewish brothers and sisters had to endure slavery during biblical times and the Holocaust. No comparison. I am black and a woman and had the opportunity to visit a memorial in Houston, TX for the holocaust. No comparison.

hitler, who was part Jew, tried to exterminate the Jews…No comparison

My jewish brothers and sisters should be wary of Obama with his ties to Iran, Hamas, Farrakhan, Rev. Wright, Khalidi, Ayers, etc…NY, MA, FL, and other areas need to send a message to Barrack H. Obama

Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, hell no….

PUMA 2008!

We will be Hitler’s movement only IF Barry gets elected. There he goes with his projectig again.

Voter rolls stuffed with dead and absent registrants
JACKSON, MS (WLBT) – Mississippi’s voter situation is hard to believe. Places like Madison County have over 123% more registered voters than people over the age of 18.
Sue Sautermeister, First District Election Commissioner in Madison County, tried to purge the rolls, but ran into trouble when it was discovered it takes a vote of three of the five election commissioners and the purge cannot take place within 90 days of a federal election.
Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann is the first to admit the situation with voter registration in this state is terrible.
“It is terrible,” he says. “Combined with the fact that we don’t have voter ID in Mississippi, anybody can show up at any poll that happens to know the people who have left town or died — and go vote for them.”

Controversial Organizations in the ’90s, Tax Returns Show
Barack Obama’s boards gave tens of thousands to ACORN and more than $1 million to racially charged organizations, a study of tax returns shows.
By Maxim Lott
The Annenberg Challenge and the Woods Fund of Chicago funded numerous controversial groups while Barack Obama served on their boards between 1995 and 2002, an analysis of their tax returns shows.
In 2001, when Obama was a part-time director of The Woods Fund of Chicago, it gave $75,000 to ACORN, the voter registration group now under investigation for voter fraud in 12 states.
The Woods Fund also gave $6,000 to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ, which Obama attended. The reason for the donation to the church is unclear — it is simply listed as “for special purposes” in the group’s IRS tax form.
It gave a further $60,000 to the Children and Family Justice Center at Northwestern University, which was founded and run by Bernardine Dohrn, the wife of domestic terrorist William Ayers and, with her husband, a former member of the 1960s radical group the Weather Underground.
Other controversial donations that year included $50,000 to the Small Schools Network — which was founded by Ayers and run by Michael Klonsky, a friend of Ayers’ and the former chairman of the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist), an offshoot of the 1960s radical group Students for a Democratic Society — and $40,000 to the Arab American Action Network, which critics have accused of being anti-Semitic.
The Woods Fund did not respond to questions about the funding.

Some voters angry about reduced wealth don’t realize voting for Obama will make them less wealthy; investors flee Obama

Investors Flee From ‘Change’ Obama Hypes

By JACK KEMP AND PETER FERRARA | Investors Business Daily

Are Barack Obama’s proposed tax increases adversely affecting our financial markets? We say yes, unambiguously. The senator has done a masterful job distracting attention from his tax increases with his $500-per-worker tax credit supposedly for 95% of Americans.

Obama has also set forth more than half a dozen additional refundable income tax credits targeted to low- and moderate-income workers for child care, education, housing, welfare, retirement, health care and other social purposes.

These tax credits are devised to phase-out based on income, which will ultimately increase marginal income tax rates for middle-class workers. In other words, as you earn more, you suffer a penalty in the phase-out of these credits, which has the exact effect of a marginal tax rate increase. That harms, rather than improves, the economy.

With the bottom 40% of income earners not paying any federal income taxes, such tax credits would not reduce any tax liability for these workers. Instead, since they’re refundable, they would involve new checks from the federal government.

These are not tax cuts as Obama is promising. They are new government spending programs buried in the tax code and estimated to cost $1.3 trillion over 10 years.

Obama argues that while these workers do not pay income taxes, they do pay payroll taxes. True, but his planned credits do not involve cuts in payroll taxes. They are refundable income tax credits designed to redistribute income and “spread the wealth.”

Meantime, Obama has proposed effective tax increases of 20% or more in the two top income-tax rates, phasing out the personal exemptions and all itemized deductions for top earners, as well as raising their tax rates.

He wants a 33% increase in the tax rates on capital gains and dividends, an increase of 16% to 32% in the top payroll tax rate, reinstatement of the death tax with a 45% top rate, and a new payroll tax on employers estimated at 7% to help finance his health insurance plan. He’s also contending for higher tariffs under his protectionist policies.

Finally, he would increase corporate taxes by 25%, though American businesses already face the second-highest marginal tax rates in the industrialized world, thus directly harming manufacturing and job creation while weakening demand for the dollar.

Obama argues disingenuously that his tax increases would only affect higher-income workers and “corporate fat cats.” But it is precisely these top marginal tax rates that control incentives for savings, investment, entrepreneurship, business expansion, jobs and economic growth. While he wants to tax the rich, the burden will fall on the poor and the middle class.

In their new book, “The End of Prosperity,” Art Laffer, Steve Moore and Peter Tanous argue that the threat of this tax tsunami is already destabilizing our financial markets and causing capital flight from America.

They write, “Hot capital is escaping over the borders out of the United States and flowing into China, India, Europe, and even Japan. . . Starting in late 2007, foreigners started pulling their money out of the United States, and Americans started investing more abroad. Global investors are losing confidence in the U.S.”

The American economy was in shambles when Reagan entered office in 1981. Inflation had soared by 25% over the prior two years, unemployment was heading toward 10%, the prime interest rate hit 21%, poverty was on a 33% upswing and real family income had decreased by almost 10% due to the stagflation of the late 1970s.

Reagan cut the top income-tax rate from 70% to 50%, adopted an additional 25% across-the-board rate cut and sliced capital gains taxes in half. The 1986 tax reform left us with just two tax rates of 15% and 28%. Reagan slashed spending growth, lowered tariffs, reduced regulatory burdens and promoted anti-inflation monetary policies.

The result, the authors explain, was actually a 25-year, noninflationary economic boom, with only two brief, mild recessions in 1990 and 2001. “We call this period, 1982-2007, the 25-year boom — the greatest period of wealth creation in the history of the planet,” they write. “Adjusting for inflation, more wealth was created in America in the 25-year boom than in the previous 200 years.”

By 1989, the economy had grown by almost one-third, the equivalent of adding the entire economy of West Germany to our U.S. economy. In 1984 alone, real economic growth boomed by 6.8%, the highest in 50 years. Nearly 20 million new jobs were created in the 1980s, increasing U.S. civilian employment by almost 20%. Unemployment fell to 5.3% by 1989.

Spectacularly, inflation was slashed to 3.2% by 1983. The prime rate fell to 6.25% by 1992, even though opponents had argued that Reagan’s tax cuts would increase interest rates. Family income reversed its decline, poverty reversed its rise and tax revenues actually doubled.

This is the “Change We Need” today.

Obama is an example of ‘moral relativism’ run wild. He makes his point about segregation in the US by comparing the US to Nazi Germany.

Instead of condemning the conditions that existed and were about to be overturned by SCOTUS on their merits, he conflates those conditions to Nazi Germany.

Compare the US South in the aftermath of the repudiation of ’separate but equal’ to Germany in the aftermath of the defeat of the Nazis and you will see my point.

In the south there were ugly protests and even some murders (Emmit Till). The US Army did go to some areas of the South to protect school children from the protesters and demogogues like George Wallace did arise. But eventually it passed and the South moved forward – the second Civil War did NOT break out. The repudiation of Nazi Germany meant the complete and utter destruction of Germany – only with its total destruction could the new Germany move forward. Huge difference, that Sen. Obama doesn’t seem to comprehend.

This man is very ambivalent about this country.

I have a burning question no one seems to be talking about. Obama obviously does not like the Constitution. If elected, how would he take the oath of office to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States?” Except by lying. Under oath.

As horrible as the murder of 6,000,000 Jews — by ONLY reporting the murder of the Jews and ignoring the other ethnic groups murdered by Hitler and his followers seems to minimize the other murders by Gang Hitler.

Hitler seemed to be searching for a group that he could use to focus hatred of his followers. Perhaps he realized that he was bringing out the worst (evil) in his followers and that this evil had to be concentrated on one target. Hitler at first went after political groups — Communist, Socialists etc. He focused on the “dirty” Gypsy — because this was an easy target.

We need to remember that Hitler killed far more than 6 million human beings — he killed the imperfect humans — which also included one of his relatives — because imperfect humans couldn’t be real Germans.

” Most prisoners in the early concentration camps were German Communists, Socialists, Social Democrats, Roma (Gypsies), Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, and persons accused of “asocial” or socially deviant behavior. These facilities were called “concentration camps” because those imprisoned there were physically “concentrated” in one location.
