You know, all comparisons aside, Obama outdoor stadium speech in Germany being compared to the Furher is ludicrious. Nowhere did I see any Brown Shirts in attendance. You really, really have to question the right, who seem to be grasping at straws, any straws in order to besmirch a man running for office.

Certainly one can surmise the Rights next move as Obama hit’s Paris, will they compare him to De Gaulle, or as GroundsKeeper Willy says, “Ye Bunch a Blouse wearing, Poodle walking, Cheese eating Surrender Monkey’s ~!

In ending, Comedian Ben Stein's analogy with the Fuhrer reference can be taken tongue in cheek. http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/posted/archive/2008/07/24/right-wing-changes-tactics-obama-isn-t-a-closet-muslim-he-s-hitler.aspx

Right-wing changes tactics; Obama isn't a closet Muslim, he's Hitler

You know that the whisper campaign about Obama's 'secret Muslim' heritage has jumped the shark when a left-wing establishment like the New Yorker is parodying it. So Obama's critics are switching up their messaging.

The Democratic candidate isn't just a Muslim in a fancy suit, he's actually the second-coming of Adolf Hitler. A few right-wing pundits have made the comparison (here and here).

But with Barack visiting Germany the time for comparison is ripe. Nixon speechwriter/game-show host/creationism booster Ben Stein pilloried the senator for wanting to accept his nomination at the Democratic convention at a stadium in front of a large crowd.

Speaking on CNN's Glenn Beck: STEIN: I want -- I'm glad you brought up this Denver thing. I don't like the idea of Senator Obama giving his acceptance speech in front of 75,000 wildly cheering people. That is not the way we do things in political parties in the United States of America.

We have a contained number of people in an arena. Seventy-five-thousand people at an outdoor sports palace, well, that's something the Fuehrer would have done.

And I think whoever is advising Senator Obama to do this is bringing up all kinds of very unfortunate images from the past.
