The Irony

How many people remember when MoveOn.org had a web video competition in which a few videos featured Bush characterized as Hitler? Republicans went nuts and MoveOn.org removed the videos. Now We have Rush and company comparing Pelosi et al. as Nazis and some Republicans walking around with posters featuring Obama in Hitler drag. The Irony.

Not only is it the height of hypocrisy but it shows a complete lack of understanding what the National Socialist Party of Germany was about.

The last thing that is stupid, is that you'll see all these old(er) white Americans literally foaming at the mouth talking about "take your hands off my healthcare" when many of these people are covered (or soon will be) under government healthcare called Medicaid and Medicare.

See, stuff like that makes me daydream about the reinstatement of literacy tests at voting places as was done during Jim Crow. Except this time we have those white folk talkin' that nonsense prove they actually can read and understand on a high school senior level before they can vote.

That's only a daydream.
