I Hate Canton apologizes for going AWOL. We didn't plan to. We were a little behind and then we got a lot behind. When we returned we were promptly bulldozed by the pretty little hate machine spitting out malignancies all over the pages of the Rep and got worn out just thinking about it. Sometimes we wish we were not a proponent of free speech. Sometimes we want to stick a sock in it.It's hard to know where to begin commenting on the latest hatefest. It seems pointless to try to catch up, so we won't try. It will only get worse anyway.
Tomorrow we'll start over, but some things just can't be ignored.
This is old, but here's what we mean.
On July 26, Tom McGlynn of Canton wrote a letter to the editor: Likening Obama to Hitler is Wrong and Irresponsible. Of course it is, especially for the sane and reasonable, of which the writer appears to be.
Mr. McGlynn wrote in part:
Mr. Manley certainly has the right not to like Obama and his policies, but to compare him to a madman who murdered 6 million innocent Jewish people and plunged the world into war is wrong. Liberals and conservatives can agree to disagree without being hateful.
Here's some sample responses to Mr. McGlynn's sane and reasonable letter:

About the letter -- Obama's supporters need to quit making the comparisons easy. ''..Obamas standing above the country, above above the world. Hes sort of god.'' -- Evan Thomas from Newsweek And now the lyrics to a Hitler Youth song:
And now the lyrics to a Hitler Youth song:
We are the happy Hitler Youth;
We have no need for Christian virtue;
For Adolf Hitler is our intercessor
And our redeemer.
No priest, no evil one
Can keep us
From feeling like Hitler's children.
No Christ do we follow, but Horst Wessel!
Away with incense and holy water pots.
And a song for Orphans:
Silent night! Holy night! All is calm, all is bright,
Only the Chancellor steadfast in fight,
Watches o'er Germany by day and night,
Always caring for us.

and Christians look like they were the enemy.
He built his own army and Nazi youth to hold in submission
their own people.
He closed the churches.
He approved horrid medical procedures.
Sound familiar??...Just sayin'.

Glad to see you get it Eljay. Obama is very much like Hitler. Just wait until we have 'national health care' and the government will tell women whether or not they can have that baby you are carrying. Mandatory steralization anyone?
TAC; abortion doesn't give a baby a right to choose. The woman is only the 'oven'; the baby's DNA is not identical. However that was not the point; the point was that the government will tell people whether or not they get to go into labor or not. Delivering a baby is a medical procedure. The government may also then tell you if you are allowed to breed or not. (China anyone?)
I have reconsidered my Hitler/Obama comparison though. I think Hitler actually liked his country; I can't same the same for Obama, which makes him worse.
And what would any Obama discussion be without our resident Bilderbergerphobe HeresJohnny.
From Alex Jones' lips to our eyes:
This Elite today plan on killing us with Swine Flu vaccinations and look at all the plastic coffins they have in Georgia.
Lest you think the Hitler meme is limited to this thread, we have TMelvill on Saturday writing under Jean Nero: People Seem to be Throwing Around Some Big Stones:
TMelvill
This man is the new, improved, super concentrated, energized, six-pack ab, economically packaged, 'lite' version of Adolf Hitler, but Adolf Hitler nonetheless. Make no mistake, there are already rumblings that go beyond the backrooms of the Blue Dawgs. There are many Christian Democrats that recognize the Obama/Pelosi/Emmanuel/Frank radicalism may be causing extreme damage to their cause as they are moving too far left too fast. Look for a new voice and message to emerge. Do not even be surprised if Obama's support among the Gay and Lesbian arm of the Democratic Party begins to rebel against the annointed one. He is threatening all of the Democratic party elite's opulent lifestyles to which they have become so accustomed to."
Unlike letter-writer McGlynn, Reppies are neither sane nor reasonable. Perhaps they attended the dreadful Canton Public School system they constantly complain about, where the only thing that's taught is how to be baby momma and daddies, thugs, drug dealers and to cash welfare checks. (Reppie accusations, not ours). How else to explain the universal arrogance of Reppies ignorant of modern history's two biggest monomanics (Hilter and Stalin) the boys responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of people in the mid-20th century through deportation, incarceration, starvation, murder, and war. (Robert Conquest says that Hitler considered Stalin a "beast" for killing his own people.) I bet their Greatest Generation parents could fill their Reppies in, if their parents even speak to them, which is doubtful. Would you if they were the product of your post-war lust?
Unfortunately, dictator bewilderment is not not limited to Canton. It's a national mental disorder. Google "Obama and Hitler" or "Obama and Stalin" and see what you get.
For those who can't decide which side to take, I Hate Canton offers the following public service to assist in your decision:

A good friend of I Hate Canton's, involved in street level real politik, not Reppie keyboard banging, says this of the Hitler meme:
It's a testament to the poverty of American political discourse that the default oppositional characterization is Hitler. Anything less than directly handing over the government to the K Street Project is Nazism. It will get worse.
