First, the story itself.
From the invaluable mediamatters.org
Progressivism and its progeny all believed in the fairness and wisdom of decisions made by the state - often at the expense of the individual, who, it was believed, made selfish decisions. All demanded that the state have an increased role in raising children. Adolf Hitler scoffed at those who remained opposed to him, saying he already had control of their children.
All believed in the minimum wage, state control of private property for the public good, unionization and environmentalism. And they believed in eugenics to purify the gene pool.

And with the Obama administration, just as in Hitler's Germany and Mussolini's Italy and Wilson's America, the leaders of major corporations are falling in line.

Show me the six million Jews Obama killed, you f#$king putz!
Show me the millions of Americans, Europeans and others who died stopping Obama from taking over the world, you damned LIAR!
The day a torture supporting CEO coddling wingnut calls me, a progressive with Jewish blood, a Nazi supporting fascist is the day I put my electoral foot up his wingnut ass.
Call it what it is, Holocaust Denial.
DISCLOSURE: I am the son of a Polish Jew with Ancestry going back to the Warsaw Uprising. I take a certain special kind of offense over these overt acts of Holocaust denial.
And that is exactly what this is, an attempt to deminish/deny the severity and full horror of the Holocaust.
Just get a load of this frigging bullsnot.
And just as was the case with Wilson, Carter and Clinton, Obama blames selfish individuals or corporations for the problems he seeks to redress. Eighty-five percent of Americans are happy with their health care, and Obama blames greedy insurance companies for this huge failure, which he seeks to correct by taking over 16 percent of our economy.

You know, if the mafia was 16% of the economy I'd bet the GOP would defend them too.
Oh, and Obama wants to limit people's freedom to ROB OTHER PEOPLE! HE IS HITLER! OH NOES!
This would be laughable if it were not so serious, as some sick person out there might hear this and decide he must SAVE us from the Obama Hitler.
Oh, and if anyone can remind me of the Democratic Politician who called Bush Hitler, I'll buy them a drink at Netroots 2010.
Politico actually published this Piece of Sh!t under their IDEAS section. The closest thing we have gotten to a new GOP idea in 9 months is Obama = Hitler.
The article itself is stuffed full of Czar strawmen and other malarkey, so Linder definitly qualifies for the knuckle dragging butt nugget sort of Wingnut.
Will someone PLEASE READ GODWIN'S LAW on the House Of Representative's floor?!?!?
Well, I say we make an EXAMPLE of Rep. John Linder, and pony up some dough for his Democratic challenger in the next election.
We need to send the message that this will NOT BE TOLERATED, and that Republicans will face real CONSEQUENCES for denying/deminishing the real horror of the Holocaust.
Now, Linder won his Georgia district (GA-07) district 62-38%, so it IS a long shot, but this pushes forward the 50 State Plan.
Further, it exposes the GOP for what they are, their center IS America's fringe. They are FAR from mainstream USA, and the more we can draw attention to this the better.
So, I urge you to ACT BLUE!
Donate here to Punish this A$$hat at Act Blue, make your dollars count!
And to my Gerogian and Jewish progressive brothers and sisters, I am asking you in particular to send a CLEAR AND LOUD message that THIS CRAP WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!
Fittingly, in the mental stretch of a debacle this utter embarassment of an article was, I find it ironic and sad that this is how Linder chose to end it. It seems to sum up the doublethink required to be a torture supporting Hitler shreiking wingnut these days.
The principal sin in politics is overreaching. Americans have in the past repeatedly voted for freedom and the supremacy of the individual over the state. It will happen again.

Of course it WILL happen again! You're a Republican! YOU HAVE NO IDEAS! Just hyperbolic screaming and personal attacks and lies, lies, lies!
And when it happens again we'll be there to kick your electoral asses again.
I nominate Rep. John Linder as biggest douche of the day, no, biggest douche in the universe.
What a putz.
