The strangest Hitler comparison in a long, long time
February 07, 2010 9:10 pm ET by Jamison Foser
Newsbuster Warner Todd Huston, writing on his own web site, comes through with the weirdest liberals-are-like-Hitler paragraph you're likely to read this month:
Being a liberal is like being Hitler, murderer of over six million human beings, were he to have tsk tsked Pol Pot for being so evil as to have murdered three million Cambodians. There is no sense of shame with a liberal. They have no sense whatsoever that anything they've ever done should temper their reactions to the actions of others. They have no understanding of the old saw of throwing stones in glass houses.
Whoa.
The substance of Huston's bizarre screed is just as bad. Huston is blasting liberals for criticizing Sarah Palin for writing crib notes on her palm before a Q&A session at this weekend's Tea Party festivities. See, Huston thinks this is hypocritical of the liberals, because President Obama often uses a teleprompter:
OK, let's take just a minute to go with that concept. Let's say that anyone that has to have notes for every single appearance is an idiot that cannot remember to draw a breath unless he has a note to remind him to do it.
If that is a solid point to make, we have but one word that can put little Steffie in his place, make Sarah seem like a genius, and diss his messiah all at once. That word...
Teleprompter!That's right folks, if Sarah is an idiot for having four or five words scribbled on her palm to remind her of the order in which she wants to address the issues, then what is president Obama that has to set teleprompters up in a sixth grade class room to talk to the folks there?
Huston is right that there is hypocrisy at play here, but he somehow manages to miss the fact that it's Palin's hypocrisy. See, Palin bashed Obama for using a teleprompter even as she relied on notes scribbled on her hand to get through her appearance:
"This is about the people, and it's bigger than any one king or queen of a Tea Party, and it's a lot bigger than any charismatic guy with a teleprompter," she said.
That was just one of several digs at President Obama. (Ms. Palin herself read a prepared speech.)
Huston wraps up his embarrassing little rant by declaring liberalism a "mental disorder":
See what I mean about liberals? They have no sense of shame, no sense of proportion, not a single firing synapse to guide them. It truly is a mental disorder.

















And just think--according to the teabaggin' terrorists, we're supposed to be the irrational ones...
Their memories were reset on January 20, 2009, @ 12 Noon by their overlords. They have never seen Palin using a TelePrompTer (LIE), and they don't think it's childish for her to write notes on the palm of her hand. We're not supposed to think it's such a big deal for a 44 y/o woman who thinks she's qualified to be POTUS to use the palm of her hand for crib notes, and we're being too mean when we do it.
They want to tell us what to think and how to act, and we're the Nazis?
At worst, it's a call for violence, at best, it's telling you NEVER to agree with liberals on ANYTHING, or you are agreeing with a psychopath.
And then it's not so funny. People whose vote counts the same as anybody else's think this makes sense.
Off-Topic: Just wondering, I just listened to a late-night re-run of MTP. WHY didn't MMFA cover the "Analysis" and, uhmm.. "suggestions" that poor ole senile Greenspan, (didn't he say he was WRONG in advocating/implementing NON-regulatory practices right when everything fell apart in Sept/Oct '08? He seems to have forgotten...), and the "magnanimous" Paulson, had of and for the Obama Admin.? Does anyone even WATCH MTP anymore? (except me at 4AM? :)
Therefore, I will post my comment to him here and perhaps someone can pass it along to Mr. Elitist.

So let me get this straight, sir... this is your encapsulating premise and yet you:
1- Open straight to calling ALL liberals "like Hitler" based on the fact that they mock her grade school cheat sheet.
2- Defend (and lie to cover) Palin's speech transgressions as you claim Obama's are fully indicative of stupidity.
3- Push hard the theory that ALL liberals, fellow Americans, are really a lesser species.
Is that about the size of it? You're really okay with disseminating this message? And I suppose you feel that you've displayed some sort of superiority to these fellow Americans based on a lower brain function? What's next? A post about ALL liberals are elitist?
Good grief, what a load of projectionist crap. How tragic that anyone takes you at all seriously.
AND they've got corporate sponsorship.
Par for the conservative course, omjr, and then the right-wing sockpuppets will spend enormous amounts of bandwidth here complaining that we are trying to silence them...
Can you imagine having a debate or discussion with these Newsbuster clowns or their lapdogs that actually take them seriously? Anybody can take their articles and literally point out all the hypocritical, ignorant, fact-free garbage they come up with and all they can probably come up with is "liberalism is a mental disorder". Just going back to their bread and butter... wingnut talking points. It's sheer child's play.
As usual, they are being the palace of paranoid pansies and newsbusting themselves for being complete fools.
Okay, okay, I can't fake that level of utter ignorance and stupidity.
The problem as I see it is that the average conservative wingnut is so conditioned to believe whatever fairy-story they're fed by anyone in a position conservatives believe to be one of authority. Preacher says the Earth is 6000 years old, therefore it is. Bubba, the Grand High Poohbah at the Lodge says Obama is a Muslim, therefore it is true.
GMAFB
It's even better than that, nerzog; she souldn't memorize her core political beliefs...
Because that is practically what every President of this country has done for as long as we can all remember... made speeches with teleprompters. Reagan did it, Bush Sr. did it, Clinton did it, Bush Jr. did it (and still messed up).
