If you think Obama is like the Nazis, you need a history lesson

http://www.freep.com/article/20090821/OPINION05/908210329/1322/If-you-think-Obama-is-like-the-Nazis--you-need-a-history-lesson&template=fullarticle

I'm not sure if anyone on this site is guilty of calling Obama a Nazi, but there are people out there who do. Seriously, calling Obama a Nazi is shaming the memory of the millions who died from the Nazi regime.

You know,

"For the record, then: It was Nazis who shoved sand down a boy's throat until he died, who tossed candies to Jewish children as they sank to their deaths in a sand pit, who threw babies from a hospital window and competed to see how many of those "little Jews" could be caught on a bayonet, who injected a cement-like fluid into women's uteruses to see what would happen, who stomped a pregnant woman to death, who once snatched a woman's baby from her arms and, in the words of a witness, "tore him as one would tear a rag."

Or we could simply judge whether a person is a Nazi through these simple steps.

"Human being: check.
Likes food: check.
Leader of a country: check.

Well, that's enough information for me! OBAMA = HITLER QED. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!"

(Quoted from Digg)

Obama is like the Nazis?

His politics are similar to the Nazi party...Bobbles

What?

His politics are similar to the Nazi party...Bobbles

Right... except not really at all. People keep calling him a socialist and a Nazi, which are basically opposites.

Just because it has the word Socialist in it doesn't make it socialist and for the people which is obvious from what went on in Nazi Germany. Look at the military groups in Africa, they have names like "The People's Liberation Front". A name means nothing if you can't back it up legitimately. Fascism =/= socialism.

[ Opposites? Hardly. Do you even know what Nazi stands for? Nazi=National SOCIALIST Program, hmmm yeah opposites.Bobbles

Nazi? That's rediculous. But a Marxist; hmm, now we're getting warmer.Stevo_the_gamer

So I just watched Final Destination 1 and 2 last night and look at your sig. Funny how things work like that. :)

I think the whole Nazi comparison aspect of politics is amusing to watch, because people on both sides do it to each other, and take offence when it's done to them.fidosim

Yup. How many times was Bush called a Nazi? Now it's Obama's turn!

Well it's not difficult to get warmer when your starting point is the coldest corner in Hell.

I was baffled by the socialist accusations, but now this? :|

Does the German Democratic Republic ring a bell? Well, it wasn't really all that democratic.

Truth be told, conservativism is closer to fascism than liberalism.Vandalvideo

I thought the argument was that he was fascist not an actual nazi.

That site doesn't prove anything. There are more results for "obama worst president" than "bush worst president"

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"][QUOTE="SuperVegeta518"] If we are talking about American conservatism then you are dead wrong. Fascism advocates strong single state rule over the economy with state controlled private property. Conservatism in America advocates a weak multi-state government with little economic restrictions.

On the issue of eugenics, in Nazi germany the fit were forced to have children and forbidden from having an abortion while the unfit were sterilized. It's the fact that they take any potential choice away from the mother-to-be - a form of state control on the individual - that social conservatism draws similarities with fascism (although that does not take anything away from the pro-life movement which is entirely legitimate).

There is also the opposition to gay marriage, another form of state control, and strong nationalistic views that draws similarities between social conservatism and fascism.

[QUOTE="duxup"] The policies put forth by the last Republican majority & president indicates otherwise.

[QUOTE="SuperVegeta518"] I would say that Fascism's suppression of religion and strong push for eugenics go against social conservatism.

You don't need the news to tell you how to feel about something, maybe that's something you do but I like to hope most of us can express our own opinions. What I find disturbing about these debates is the lack of debate in general. You have one side using no formal logic whatsoever, blasting mostly false, malicious comments filled with hate and anger. These people use loaded words, yell, flat out make things up and think they are making a logical argument.

I remember one congressman saying recently to one of these hecklers, "You have Glen Beck, I have facts." That pretty much sums everythintg up.

If we are looking at this from a U.S. viewpoint than fascism would be a left leaning political ideology. Being politically conservative in the U.S. means you are for small government with free enterprise.SuperVegeta518
