Barney Frank confronts woman at town hall comparing Obama to Hitler.Can I rant a little bit? Maybe just ramble. How about a meander through some dialog in my head. After all, this is a blog, my personal thoughts, and this is America, land of the free, home of the brave. Land of the BIll of Rights (which during our last administration, which was more like Hitler and Musolini [see: fascism]). I was walking down the road the other day and noticed three very different examples of the Bill of Rights being expressed: Freedom of Religion, Freedom to Assemble and Freedom of Speech. What was happening? Self-righteous citizens were picketing outside of an empty Scientology center.
This woman’s clear and brainless “questions” about Obama’s healthcare are very scary. People actually think that because the government is trying to improve our lives. I mean, come on, the healthcare does need reform. Look up, and past Obama’s take on, Canadian healthcare. In Canada it’s actually cheaper for the government to run a nationwide healthcare, although it’s not without it’s problems. The healthcare system that Obama’s administration is trying to implement has two systems (sound familiar?) so that people have a choice.
All this town hall bullshit is starting to get really annoying. The wrong people are getting to take the mic and spread stupid, pointless propaganda that they’ve been fed. I’m glad that Rep. Frank actually saw this and told this lady to shut up.
I got stopped by a bunch of these LaRouche morons on my way home from work, but didn’t say much about it at the time. This wasn’t the first time, nor even the fifth, that I’ve been stopped by LaRouche people, and let me tell you: they can only speak by forcing the words through their teeth with their tongues. Everything with them is posturing and horseshit. I mean, come on. How else could you compare Obama to Hitler without even a hint of sarcasm?
I laughed at their portayal of Obama as Hitler and said, “Comparing Obama to Hitler is about as fallacious as you can be and it really borders on the offensive for anyone with half a brain. Good luck with that one, guys.” They asked if I would have felt the same if they had been African American. I just looked at them and said, “No. Not at all.”
