Obama-Nazi Sign Made By Ill Woman On Medicare

Wall Street Journal:

Outside, the gathering verged on a street brawl. The opposing forces lined up like screaming armies on either side of the street, about 1,000 people a side. Diane Campbell of Kingston, N.H., held a sign with Mr. Obama's face superimposed on a Nazi storm trooper, a sign, she said, that was made by her chronically ill mother.

Her mother's hereditary autoimmune disease is treated with expensive transfusions of gamma globulin, paid for by Medicare. Her sister, Louise, was born with no arms and one leg, and is also covered by Medicare, the government-run, health-insurance program for the elderly and disabled.

I remember seeing signs by the LaRouche people condemning the Kissinger-Queen Elizabeth-CIA drug nexus as far back as 1977. What keeps these people going other than the absolutely insane politics that is closer to the screwball right than it is to any part of the so-called "left".

Does her single brain cell qualify for Medicare?

This article is another brain dead LIBERAL LIE. She is another Liberal plant. These posters are made by LaRouce. The ad is blocked out on the sign so the lie can be spread claiming it's a Republican. All of you idiots posting at this communist site really need to pull your head out your a** and find some facts. One day you will be on medicare and you won't have a choice but to be on medicare. Are you willing to take a chance on the government telling you that you or a loved one can't have a life saving medical procedure because the program is BANKRUPT like all the programs the government runs now are. Try real hard to think for yourselves sheeple!!!

Yes, bad call by some in the news--most or all of the current batch of Obama-as-Hitler signs appear to originate from LaRouche--but LaRouche is someone I wouldn't call far left (though that's the category he's traditionally put into) or far right--he's some of both. He's a self-made hybrid, a weird creation. On the whole, he opposes the Democrats as well as the Republicans, but where LaRouche and the right wing meet, is in accusing Obama of all kinds of nonsense, INCLUDING comparing Obama to Hitler--this comparison started before the election, when it was common on far right websites like www.freerepublic.com. That's when they started Photoshopping posters from the Nazi regime, with Obama's head where Hitler's was supposed to be. One can argue whether "Republican" and "far right wing" can be considered close enough to be lumped together, but the Republicans been doing a good enough job of lumping themselves for some time.

I'm going to hold my nose and offer what might be evidence of what you say, though it's presented by NewsBusters, an odious "anti-liberal" source:

Play nice. Two wrongs don't make a right.

The right thought they had a chance of winning the election, right up to oh, say 11:00 eastern time Nov 8, 2008. Funny their party was not so festive.

The Boston Globe exposed the mom at the townhall meeting who planted her kid in the audience to ask BO a healthcare question?? The mom belongs to the Mass. Women for Obama.
The dems are really getting desperate.

To all you GOP individuals out there...

If universal healthcare is so BAD then why is the U.S. the only advanced nation without it? Moreover why hasn't one single country gone back to a for profit capitalistic private healthcare system and abolished their own universal care system?

How can you rage against reform because it will "RESTRICT everyone's choices" and yet you also are against reform because it doesn't RESTRICT covering abortions?

If government healthcare is so bad then why aren't you proposing that we strip veterans of their VA and Tricare benefits? Why don't you propose stripping the poor of their Medicaid benefits? Why don't you propose stripping seniors of their Medicare benefits? Why of all people hasn't one single GOP member voluntarily given up their own government health care benefits package yet? Why haven't you proposed forcing all the above mentioned individuals into the private health insurance market if government health care is so awful?

One more thing as ultraconservative as you GOP supporters are why haven't you advocated one of your core values.... Everyone needs to take personal responsibility for living a perfect healthy lifestyle and eating a perfect diet so we can all reduce long term costs to the health care system?

I'm a medical professional and would love to hear your answers. Just so you know I've actually spent hours researching how to best achieve universal care in America and here is my very well referenced article regarding this - http://bit.ly/9QLV8

Ret@rded Americans probably equate to over 30% of our population! The good thing is that they are all white and will never have the numbers to win again in their present form, the GOP is GONE!

LOL

The truth never sounded so good.

The antics of these unruly, unmedicated, greying boomers is turning me against Medicare.

Shouldn't the headline read:

Obama-Nazi Sign Made By Ill Woman On Medicare that sits at home and watches Faux news 24/7.
11:11 PM on 08/12/2009
She needs appointment with the shrink. Does medicare cover shrinks?
01:42 AM on 08/13/2009
Yup.....and the crime is they are complacent and docile. Ie; fodder for Faux news.

I have a large degree of pity for these people. Hard not to acknowledge their fears. At the same time, I wish I could be there to talk to them re; the overhaul.

Just the whole promotion of an AFRICAN AMERICAN MAN being called a "Nazi" IN AMERICA is too twisted and bizarre for me to even TRY to understand how freakin' crazy they are. It's "cloaked" racism for sure, but the whole "American Black man is a Nazi" thing is just too bizarre a concept for me to grasp and even raise it to a level of "discussion".

All I know for sure is that they are in DIRE NEED of some serious psychological help ASAP... even if prison ends up being the most affordable place for them to go and get it... but then again, they'd probably deny it because it would be "Gov't ran" Mental health care.

This was an interesting article, but it would have been much more helpful if instead of just reporting the questions that people asked, you reported what his answers were. I was unable to watch the actual town hall and almost all of the video clips and reports that I have read do not really show the answers to the questions. Don't you think it would be more helpful to report on the answers to the questions? There are many of us out here who don't have town halls to go to and have some of the same questions that these people asked. I would much rather hear about what was said in response than about what the crazy people had to say.

It seems that many people dont really care what the answers are. They dont want answers they just want to believe what they want to believe.

Hahahahaa don't worry he's just one of the idiots... I don't have medicare but I pay taxes which means I help pay for medicare thus helping other people . So if that's not socialized medicine I don't know what is.

You are right, chedet. You don't know what is.
