Obama: Future Hitler?

A Republican congressman named Paul Broun from Georgia said Monday he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist or fascist dictatorship. posted He insists that he doesn't want to seem crazy or anything…but prefacing something totally crazy with “Call me crazy but…” doesn't make it any less crazy. Am I crazy to think that??

  • Gestapo-like security force? Could happen!
    But…after the present administration, how would anyone be able to tell?

  • I'm confused is it going to be a far left Marxist dictatorship or a far right fascist one? Ah, the dangers of listening to too much talk radio. It rots your brain.

  • So Obama will establish either a far right dictatorship or a far left dictatorship? But he's not sure which? That alone shows how batshit crazy he is. Did he consider a Monarchy? Or pure Anarchy?  First off, the U.S. is already closer to a totalitarian democracy or a plutocracy than an actual democratic republic. Secondly, we know what he's really saying: “Obama's black. Who knows what scary things he'll do!”  Thirdly, at least it won't become a gerontocracy, as it would have under McCain.

  • This is unbelievable. How does such bigotry still persist in such an educated and profound nation? -Jeremy

  • So Broun is afraid that Obama “will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist or fascist dictatorship.”  Well he's too late.  Dubya Bush already has already done it with the tens of thousand of mercenaries (Blackwater, Dyncorp etc.) that are currently getting paid a premium salary courtesy of your tax dollars. This is now a multi-billion dollar, entrenched industry and it isn’t going away without a fight. And they are ready to move in (with automatic weapons don’t ya know) and no oversight and no control here in the US of A — in fact they did during the days immediately following Hurricane Katrina and subsequent natural disasters.

  • I'm sick of these Repubtards with their pathetically callow overuse of comparing anyone they don't like to Hitler.  Please. Stop comparing every other goddamn person to Hitler. Hitler committed atrocities that a roomful of history's thuggiest motherfuckers could never envision accomplishing. You could almost excuse tyrants of all stripes when they kill thousands of enemy soldiers; but it's another record of infamy entirely when you openly call for the single-minded extermination and wholesale torture and slaughter of scores of innocent civilians, particularly defenseless women and children. To compare anyone within the halls of our government to Hitler - from either side of the aisle - is at best absolutely morally bereft, at worse completely McCarthy-ite insane.

  • Call me crazy, but isn't that where Bush/Cheney were going?

  • Apparently no one sent him the Republican memo regarding jumping ship on that whole “terrorist/socialist/et al. Barack” thing and instead blaming McCain and the idiots in their own party that voted for him in the primaries. It's pretty much where Rush and Hannity are at these days. Good times.

  • Wow! That's “back in the hills”, industrial strength crazy!
    I think it's time for everyone that wants to run for public office to take an IQ and mental health/ mental stability test.
    If they pass, they get to compete for money, prizes and the opportunity to advance from local to state to national.
    If they fail, they keep their fry cook job at MickeyD's.

  • “Mc·Car·thy·ism” (noun) 1. public accusation of Communist sympathies: the practice of publicly accusing somebody, especially somebody in government or the media, of subversive or Communist activities or sympathies, especially without real evidence to substantiate this 2. unfair accusation or investigation of people: the practice of using unsubstantiated accusations or unfair methods of investigation to discredit people [Mid-20th century. After Joseph R. McCarthy] Maybe we can coin the term “Brounianism”…accusing a person or political candidate of an opposing party of Marxist sympathies just because you represent a red state with historically tense racial relationships?
