The ADL has condemned the rants of Limbaugh trivializing the Nazi movement's and what it produced: the Holocaust and a world war. This is big news. When the ADL weighs in msm tends to pick up the story. Bad news for the GOP. More below included full statement and some pics of what these thugs are displaying at rallies.
The ADL just did a study on the teabaggers-they found white supremacist groups were embedded and worse. Its going to get much worse Im afraid. And while thepage.com has De Parle talking co ops again I don’t think we will settle-esp after what we the ground troops are having to endure.
I wonder when the NAACP weighs in. Obama as the Joker and other statements are clearly prejudiced. This is the Nixon white card. Nixon lives.
UPDATED-THE RIGHT KEEPS USING NAZI/HOLOCAUST TERMS ABOUT UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE.-LASTEST FROM FDL-
At an event on the "Patients First" bus tour of David H. Koch's Americans for Prosperity held in Pueblo, Colorado, speaker Mark Harrison says that the House health care bill -- H.R. 3200 -- is like Hitler's "final solution":
"Part of this process is called end of life counseling and part of the end of life counseling can be an end of life order.
Let me repeat that, part of this end of life counseling on line 429 of HR 3200 deals with an end of life order.
What does that mean?
End of life. Another word for that is death.
Order. What's another word for that? A sentence.
Now, you folks review with me a little bit as I recall Stalin in 1920 issued about 20 million end of life orders for his fell Russians.
Pol Pot did it during the Vietnam war. He issued about two million end of life orders.
It's being done in Africa today, Mugabi is doing it every day.
Adolph Hitler issued 6 million end of life orders. He called his program the final solution."
At Denver yesterday we had a 16 yr old Alaskan wearing a Obama/Hilter t shirt spurting all kinds of lovely words:
Square State, ColoradoPol and Pronin2 at DailyKos spread the word and we signed up volunteers to attend the event. Jeralyn Merritt of Talk Left led the Denver residents went to the rally on short notice. Jeralyn reports on her adventures tonight.
Mark S. took videos and uploaded them to us after the event. Notably, he spoke with on 16 year-old who had identified himself to Jeralyn as hailing from Wasilla, Alaska. Mark got a shot of his t-shirt, which had a picture of Obama and the slogan "Hitler gave good speeches, too"
I wonder when the NAACP when get involved. example A:
From Rep Murphy event-CTblogger has been a good friend since the Lieberman battle. He's "from" Danbury Connecticut. He's also well over 6ft tall (which is why the camera angle is frequently "down" in his videos), and African American.
As the teabagger tells him in this disturbing video:
" You and your asinine friends say that we're paid by big insurance -- YOU'RE paid by ACORN and our tax dollars. Yeah that's me, hello, get the fuck out of my face and go back where you come from."

ADL Says Use Of Nazi Imagery In Health Care Debate 'Outrageous And Inappropriate'
New York, NY, August 7, 2009 ... The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today called attempts by some opponents of health care reform to bring Nazi imagery into the debate, "outrageous, deeply offensive and inappropriate" and condemned remarks by talk-show host Rush Limbaugh, who compared President Obama's health care logo to a swastika, and policies championed by the Democratic Party to those of the Nazis.
"Regardless of the political differences and the substantive differences in the debate over health care, the use of Nazi symbolism is outrageous, offensive and inappropriate," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director and a Holocaust survivor. "Americans should be able to disagree on the issues without coloring it with Nazi imagery and comparisons to Hitler. This is not where the debate should be at all."
In recent days, street protests against President Obama's health care plan have gotten ugly, with some protestors appearing in photographs wearing swastika and SS symbols.
That prompted Rush Limbaugh to remark on his radio program that, "They accuse us of being Nazis, and Obama's got a healthcare logo that's right out of Adolf Hitler's playbook." He went on to compare certain Democratic Party policies to those of the Nazis.
"Comparisons to the Nazis are deeply offensive and only serve to diminish and trivialize the extent of the Nazi regime's crimes against humanity and the murder of six million Jews and millions of others in the Holocaust," said Mr. Foxman. "I don't see any comparison here. It's off-center, off-issue and completely inappropriate."

White Supremacists May Attempt To Co-Opt July 4 "Tea Parties" To Promote A Hateful Agenda
New York, NY, July 2, 2009 ... White supremacists and neo-Nazi hate groups plan to take advantage of the anti-tax "Tea Parties" set to occur in more than 1,000 cities and localities over the July 4 holiday weekend to disseminate racist fliers and other materials and attempt to recruit others to their cause, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
ADL's Center on Extremism, which monitors extremist groups and provides information to law enforcement and the public, has released information on its Web site describing the attempt by white supremacists to co-opt the anti-tax message of the events as a means to spread racism and anti-Semitism.
On Stormfront, the most popular white supremacist Internet forum, members have discussed becoming local organizers of the "Tea Parties" and finding ways to involve themselves in the events. Many racists have voiced their intent to attend these rallies for the purpose of cultivating an "organized grassroots White mass movement," with some suggesting that they would do so without openly identifying themselves as racists
