"American Taxpayers are the Jews for Obama's Ovens"

[Barack_America]

So having disrespected our country's racial history with the "Tax Slavery Sucks" signs, teabaggers move on to belittle the Holocaust.

Special.



Note the "Operation Chaos" hat. He's a Rush fan. How shocking.

1. With a jacket like that he should be out picking up garbage on the highway

[davidinalameda]

14. the woman in the hat is Medea Benjamin

the grand pooh bah of Code Pink

I'm guessing the guy (is that a guy???) in the jacket is also with Code Pink

[rockymountaindem]

2. Thank you for dedicating an OP to this imbicile

I saw him on the Rachel Maddow show... what a piece of shit.

[aquart]

3. But everyone's entitled to fifteen minutes.

And now he has what he's clearly wanted so very very much.

Better this than taking a gun into a building.

[The_Casual_Observer]

4. What sort of singular multi-chin idiot would take the time to proudly

display a message like that? No wonder the FBI has been stirring about the growing threat of right wing extremists.

[JeffreyWilliamson]

5. This one from Huff Post...

[JeffreyWilliamson]

7. And another...

[Barack_America]

11. This sign has a pic of Obama next to "Pro Death"...

What the fuck exactly is that supposed to mean?

[JeffreyWilliamson]

13. Also, what the fuck does it mean by "Pro Slavery"?

[Barack_America]

16. Yup. It seems that the author of that sign was going for violent...

...and provocative statements without considering whether they made any sense at all.

And that is actually very frightening. As someone said earlier, the FBI is quite right to start keeping a closer eye on these people.

[Warren DeMontague]

21. He's "pro death" 'cuz he doesn't want to outlaw the pill & put women in jail for having abortions.

...

[Barack_America]

24. Ah yes.

Thanks for that.

And the "slavery" bit, do you figure that's just about taxes? Because, you know, paying 15% of your income is the same as being property and all.

These people take hyperbole to a new level.

[Warren DeMontague]

25. As I said in another thread, Eisenhower must have been the worst despot the galaxy has ever known.

With that top marginal rate of 90%.

[Barack_America]

30. Excellent point. nt

[NYMountaineer]

6. Awful...

People like him just piss me off. So much compassion there, exploiting war and mass murder to make a weak political point...

[JeffreyWilliamson]

8. This one says it all, doesn't it?

[AzNick]

20. So that's what Fox News viewers look like

Very educative...

[Solomon]

35. Jeeez. What a sad sack of ball garglers.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

42. The average age looks like 60

a very bitter and unhappy looking group. Who exactly, is supposed to "hate white collar workers"? What is that supposed to mean?

[Vanje]

51. The average color looks like "a rainbow coalition....

of white of every shade. Eggshell, snow-white, off white, pasty, pale, ashen, pearly white, lily white........

[obxhead]

9. I completely

AGREE with the sign around his neck, but that ass-hat needs to drop that bullshit sign he's holding.

[bridgit]

10. republicans are not coming back for many, many years many-many they just don't know it...

They're like cornered, Turrets challenged weasels with smack-talking anti-American photo-shop software and commercial copier machines

[ShareTheWoods]

43. Yes, we should beat them down further and insure one party rule forever

Whomever had the idea to run another party against us must have been smoking crack. Even if they come up with 49.9%
of the voting population, we still own them.

We must keep constant vigilance against any upcoming party or candidates that challenge us.

[bridgit]

45. There's less need for us to "beat them down", they're falling down from the weight...

of their own unsustainable bullshit that much is in the headlines worldwide oh how the mighty have fallen boohoo if a short trip down in that they were never really standing up forthrightly to begin with next time they invite you to a BBQ explain to them they are the crooked men and women that walk the crooked mile

[scarletwoman]

55. What do you mean "we", white man?

Your post is utterly moronic.

[MagickMuffin]

12. You think we could squeeze him in an Easy Bake Oven?.?.?

Since he is being soooooo childish perhaps an Easy Bake Oven would be the best solution to his misery

[davidinalameda]

15. that sign just goes beyond disgusting

[uppityperson]

17. He thinks Obama will kill everyone who pays taxes? wtf?

aside from the shock value of Holocaust comparison, wtf does this even mean? If you pay taxes, Obama will kill you?

[Raksha]

18. That's friggin' INSANE!!! n/t

[Number23]

19. Good God. That is as vicious a slur as anyone could have come up with.

That is unconscionable.

[Barack_America]

23. It is. And it serves absolutely no purpose.

It's just sickening.

That someone would say such a thing just for the shock value.

:shakeshead:

[Behind the Aegis]

22. Not at all surprising.

But, no less disgusting.

[Warren DeMontague]

26. ACTUAL Jews, however, are another story:

[guitar man]

47. then shut up and render unto Caesar

addressed to guy in pic

[HarveyDarkey]

58. Stupidity offsets for sale?

I'd like to know what the rest of his shirt says, and why he hasn't invested in any.

[NYC Liberal]

27. Wanna bet Mr "One Term Limit" voted for Bush TWICE?

I do.

[voc]

28. You have to wonder...

Do they listen to Rush only? What a revolting display of ignorance.

[AspenRose]

29. I cannot even begin to express how offensive that statement is.

But seeing this is a Rush fan, I'm not surprised. They try to be as offensive as possible, like their leader.

And what the hell does ACORN have to do with ANY of this??? Oh, that's right....NOTHING

It's just a buzzword meant to incite people pissed off that Obama won.

[Barack_America]

32. What's astonishing to me is that this photo was posted on a Tea Party blog.

And not just one.

[Iris]

31. This is just sick and scary.

And I mean sick in the old-school sort of way.


Even though it scares and sickens me, I still wish someone would tell him he doesn't need to capitalize prepositions.

[bdamomma]

33. totally disgraceful.

[dysfunctional press]

34. "we need one term limits for all elected officials..."

while i'm not necessarily in favour of career congresspeople- and don't think that the founders EVER intended for them to be so...limiting ALL elected officials to just one term would be extremely chaotic and stupid.
i would honestly like to see some kind of term limitations enacted- but i'd put it more around 5 terms in the house and maybe 3 in the senate...

[Renew Deal]

36. I think this might be the guy that was on CNN yesterday.

Looks similar.

[Barack_America]

38. The guy who called Obama a fascist?

No wonder he upset the reporter so much. I'd have a hard time keeping my cool too if I read a sign like that.

[Renew Deal]

39. Yes

I just checked. It's the same guy.

[ShareTheWoods]

44. Why isn't their a law against such hateful messages?

Did anyone try to get the police to haul him away for daring to display such disgusting words in public?

If we get enough of them in jail for hate messages, we can start re-education classed in prison and eventually
get 100% of the votes. One party rule forever!

[Djinn]

57. no matter how much you try to insinuate it

no-one is suggesting this guy should have been arrested, or that one party rule would be a good thing (though from my perspective that's pretty much what you've had for decades) they're just pointing out how toolish these morons are. No-one said morons only come in one political flavour.

[TZ]

37. I'm not a violent person

But having relatives who died in the Holocaust I would have been hard pressed not to rip that piece of shit up..Somebody should've gotten the Anti-Defamation league in on this..

[LynneSin]

41. Remember the leader of the RNC compared stem-cell research to the Holocaust...

these people have no shame

[TZ]

59. Oh yes

I unfortunately know way too much about the ex lieutenent gov of Maryland

[moggie]

46. A certain fraction of the right seems to have NO sense of proportion

It's not uniquely American: here in the UK it's not uncommon to read a wingnut claiming that some fairly minor imposition is just like being a Jew in Auschwitz. I've never been able to understand this. There's hyperbole, and then there's exaggeration so extreme that even people on your own side will ask "are you completely fucking crazy?" Either these people are severely lacking in empathy, or they live in a fantasy world.

[LeftishBrit]

56. Too true...

The right-libertarians and the loony fringe of the Daily Mail readership are very inclined to complain that e.g. compulsory recycling or having to wear a seatbelt is 'just like living in Nazi Germany!!!111'! Actual concentration-camp comparisons are less common, but happen far more often than they should.

There's a certain type of person in many countries who regard all government as the enemy and have no perspective and therefore no sensitivity. Ironically, it is just these people who are often most readily recruited by neo-Nazi parties and groups.

[LynneSin]

40. I think that's the most offending stuff I've seen at this protests

They compare themselves to slaves who were dehumanized and abused while doing the dirty work to build this country. And 6million Jews and other 'undesirables' who were sent to the ovens to die because they were unacceptable.

Oh the agony to be an American Taxpayer - the 'suffering' they do

[prolesunited]

48. Voters already have a chance to limit politicians to one term

It's called an ELECTION.

[Taverner]

49. Call me insensitive but I'd love to see that fuck swinging from a tree

[NorthernSpy]

50. That takes offensive to a whole new level...

Yes, being expected to contribute to the upkeep of the democratic country that shelters you is just exactly like being murdered in Auschwitz.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

52. Notice the hat.

I wonder what his username was.

[NorthernSpy]

53. Good eye!

Wasn't that OxyRush's cunning plan to screw up the Democratic nomination process?

[LeftishBrit]

54. Wow, that is a bit extreme even by the standards of the righties

A tax increase for the rich = the Holocaust????

I think it's more than that in fact: these are the RW who consider government to be evil when its aim is to maintain society and provide an economic and social safety-net. They think that government's only function is protection from 'baddies': thus bloated defence spending and the crushing of civil liberties in the 'war on terror' are OK (the right-libertarians don't approve of *anything* government does, but they're a minority). But to quote Thatcher, 'there is no such thing as society'. Thus, any social spending is 'stealing our hard-earned money' and 'an assault on our freedoms'. And there is a left-wing conspiracy against 'ordinary decent people' - which often implies 'white'. The Thatcherite RW Tories, represented here by such tabloids as the Daily Mail, show these attitudes to quite a degree; but these protesters seem yet more extreme - perhaps more like the BNP here, though the latter are less obsessed with taxes.

Far-righties fear diversity and international contact; and I would imagine that for them, having a president who is black and who comes from a highly internationally-connected background represents rule by some alien force, even more than any vaguely liberal government does. Hence for them Obama = Hitler (ironically, of course, Hitler came to power largely by playing on the fears of people just like these right-wingers).

In any case, it's all quite creepy, and this particular slogan is a big insult to all real victims and survivors of the Holocaust.
