Hard to see in this picture, but the sign reads "National Socialist Health Care: Dachau, Germany – 1945". Right over a stack of corpses.
Think Progress reports:
ThinkProgress’ Lee Fang snapped this photograph of a prominent sign being displayed at today’s GOP anti-health care rally. It’s unclear whether this sign is being handed out by Americans for Prosperity, the corporate front group sponsoring today’s rally.
A reclisted diary this morning wondered if the teabagger protest might lead to violence. Well, with rhetoric like this flying around, I think it's a fair question. Especially when the House Minority Leader tells the crowd:
"This bill is the greatest threat to freedom that I've seen in the 19 years I've been in Washington"
Matt Yglesias observes:
There are all kinds of nutty people in the world, but these kinds of things are the wages of a conservative leadership and media that’s consistently tried to drum-up opposition to health care reform not by opposing things that are actually in the bill, but with demagogic opposition to completely fabricated provisions.
Pretty much.
