Do You Realize What You Just Said?

I just watched a news forum debate between Barney Frank & Rachel Brown who is a Lyndon Larouche supporter. For those of you who don't know Mr. Larouche you may read about him in full at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_LaRouche .

This debate prompted me to blog about it because I was angered by Ms. Brown for likening President Obama to Adolph Hitler. Wait...did I hear her correctly...let me hit replay. Yes, she said it. Does she just realize what she said? Even her supporters in this short video had signs that had drawn a mustache on President Obama to resemble Adolph Hitler. You can watch the video at: http://barney2010.com/videos/barney-debates-issues-and-criticizes-lyndon-larouche-candidate-tactics

OK...let's think about what she just said folks. President Obama is like Adolph Hitler. I am trying to wrap my mind around this & be as open minded as I can. Let's compare some likeness;

President Obama                                                                          Adolph Hitler
Politician                                                                                      Politician
Both wrote a book                                                                      Both wrote a book
Supported their Party                                                                  Supported their Party
Establish a New Order                                                                Establish a New Order
Leadership Skills                                                                         Leadership Skills

However, I do not believe that President Obama has done the following for what we remember as the worst Holocaust in history. Taken directly from Wikipedia: Nazi forces engaged in numerous violent acts during the war, including the systematic murder of as many as 17 million civilians, including an estimated six million Jews targeted in the Holocaust and between 500,000 and 1,500,000 Roma,Poles, Soviet civilians, Soviet prisoners of war, people with disabilities, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, and other political and religious opponents.

While I understand that it is difficult to look at Adolph Hitler & see anything good he did possess the skills listed above which in a factual manner can be compared. But... & this is a big BUT folks...how can Rachel Brown in good conscience make a statement as she did on national TV in a debate with an experienced current member of congress knowing the facts of the Holocaust. Should we give her the benefit of the doubt??? Maybe she has forgot her history she learned in school. Maybe her & another former VP candidate should get together & discuss history & geography.

I believe that I have seen the opposite actions from our leader as he is trying to make the USA safe for everyone, equality a must, & bringing our troops home from wars that should have never begun or gone way too long. Oh, and as far as the New Order...well we really do need it because the old order was killing us all & that is figuratively & literally speaking.

It would stand to reason that Barney Frank stated in a previous debate with Rachel Brown that he said "talking to her was like talking to a table." What's the use? I believe that Mr. Frank was correct & knew exactly what he said.
