      I don't know how Obama is going to turn out because he hasn't been in office long enough. However, I do know that the closest America has come to a dictatorship was with Bush and Cheney.

        Good point. these republicans "the ones in schizo-land, not all of them" really have alot of balls showing pictures of people who resemble themselves more than anybody else and saying democrats are taking us in the direction of these people. Its sad that alot of repubs are at home taking this as truth and not just contradictory and false accusation.

      We know where Beck is headed. ...We know where he's gone.

      It's dark down there in the sewer.  Maybe he's been smelling the fumes so long his brain has rotted.

        Apparently ti  didn't bother the left too much in 2003-2004 when bowelmovement. org  produced an advertisment morphing Bush into Hitler. Amazing how short your memories all are and how thin your skins have become since  your guy is the top dog now.

          Ah, there you go again MissDee forgetting about what really happened with that ad. It was an ad that was submitted to moveon.org, and they then removed it from their website as being inappropriate, plus, ask just about any liberal, and they'll tell you that comparing American leaders to Hitler is ridiculous. Any American leader. Democrat, or Republican.

            Just google "Bush Hitler comparison" and see how many pages you get, it was done routinely by the left for 8 years, don't be so naive. But you are right it is dispicable to compare any US President to Hitler

              It was done routinely by who? People on the Internet?

              Who exactly did this? Beck has now done it every day for a while, can you show me an equivalent on the "left" (what a misnomer that is) in the US who did this about Bush?

                Well, put me in the column of disagreeing with anyone that could compare an American leader with Hitler/Stalin/Lennin/Mao/Pol Pot. You know, any of those vicious dictators.

                And yes, there were plenty of people who compared Bush to Hitler during his reign, but can you point me to a mainstream media source that did this? Someone as big as FoxNews? So you have some nuts on the internet posting it on their blogs that about 10 people read, and you see it pop up in comments sections on liberal websites. Can you point me in a direction as to where on a major media source (internet, or other) that made the comparison of Bush to Hitler, and kept doing it for months on end?

                I don't think that you can.

                  Or Keith Ellison, the Dem Congressmman from Minn,

                  On July 8, 2007 Ellison discussed the power of the executive branch in the US currently in a speech before the organization Atheists for Human Rights. He stated that Cheney asserts it is "beneath his dignity in order for him to answer any questions from the citizens of the United States. That is the very definition of totalitarianism, authoritarianism and dictatorship."[104] He went on to say, "It's almost like the Reichstag fire, kind of reminds me of that. After the Reichstag was burned, they blamed the Communists for it and it put the leader of that country [Hitler] in a position where he could basically have authority to do whatever he wanted. The fact is that I'm not saying [Sept. 11] was a [U.S.] plan, or anything like that because, you know, that's how they put you in the nut-ball box -- dismiss you."[104]

                  So what you're saying, "fair" liberal - is that you have no mainstream news outlets to point to.  Got it.

                  I thought MSNBC was the opposite of Fox News?  If this were true then wouldn't they have been comparing G-Dub to these dictators everyday the way Fox News is with Obama 2 months into his presidency?

                    Your comment is asinine and typical of how the left likes to parse words when it suits their purpose. First, I said that the left has been comparing Bush to Hitler, that is undeniable.  And Wolf is part of the media in case you missed it . And of course you will also  dismiss the words of a democratic rep when it suits your purpose, because he is not part of the media. I see, in your mind that excuses it. And if you actually read the comment I was responding to it mentions the internet also so I could find many many more exaples to cite. But you want to limit the conversation to the "mainstrean newsoutlets".  And as another poster pointed out, moveon.org also had the comparison on their site.  And by the way, since we are only talking about a teaser , how do you even know what is in Beck's show.

                    One thing I might add as far as Fox and MSNBC being opposites , it is true and can be illistrated by comparing the reporting of the Spanish court case where MSNBC left out the fact that the lawyer who filed the case was a convicted terrorist who got his law degree while in prison for collaborating with terrorists. Fox on the other hand reported that fact.  It would seem that MSNBC ( and the NYT and also MMFA for that matter) don't want you to know that. Hmmm, I wonder why.

      Don't suppose it would do any good to inform Glenn - and Deborah here - that Hitler and Stalin were, ideologically, almost diametrically opposed . . . nah, guess not.

        Yeah, they don't really care about that. They just know that Hitler, and Stalin were 2 bad guys, and apparently, that's where we're headed now. What a joke, not to mention, like I was writing yesterday, keep comparing Obama and this administration to these guys, and someone is going to take it too far, and start taking shots.

      The Anti-Defamation League should condemn Glenn Beck YESTERDAY for comparing Obama to Hitler everyday. We know what Beck is intending with this - he's trying to provoke one of his listeners to committ an unspeakable act of terror against the Obama administration in order to "liberate" America. That is Glenn Beck's purpouse.

      On the whole I think we should all convert to Groucho Marxism. Glenn would be good for a little Harpo Marxism.

      Saying Chicko is Italian is merely profiling.

      The most effective counters we have to home grown terrorists is what has worked against international terrorism, effective policework and intelligent risk mitigation.
