      You know, men our size shouldn't jump the shark so quickly like that. We could really pull a muscle or break something.

      I am so sick of this nazi comparisons. These people have no honor. They are stamping history to the ground and dancing on the graves of thoes who lost their lives in WWII. It is such a disgrace.

      Gee, even in that short clip (I'm just betting there was more) it sounded like Obama was talking about larger issues by putting them into some historical context.

        Amazing, isn't it? Even without context, Obama's statement has absolutely no possible resemblance to Limbaugh's supposed gloss of it. The man really should get his hearing checked. I mean... oh dear, excuse me.

      Ironic to hear all these Nazi references coming from a man who is a disciple of Joseph Goebbels.

      You know I am wondering if anyone has asked a WWII vet how they feel having the United States of America nazi`s. i mean if you call the president that you are really saying that about all of America
      and being a Vet myself, i fine this very very unamerican and shameful and derogatory to my COUNTRY!!!!!!!

      I dont need my Country back As I and millions others has never lost it in the first place!!!!!! So for all those who think they lost there country it isnt lost you have to just wake up pull your head out of your 4th point of contact.

      Actually, just from that short clip Rush, it sounded kind of like Obama was saying the brave new Bush/Cheney America was beginning to look uncomfortably like what we fought against in WW 2. Maybe you should go back to just editing stuff together and manufacturing evidence to support what you say. You've just sawed the limb out from under yourself on this one.

        Well, yeah, that's exactly what Limbaugh was saying. RL said Obama was comparing the Bush judicial system to the Nazis, and then you said Obama was comparing the Bush judicial system to Nazis. So basically, you agree with Limbaugh's statement.
