Pensacola Tea Party video #4: playing the Obama = Hitler card

Now this speaker, a retired U.S. military veteran (as so many at this particular teabaggers' ball were) was faithful to his talking points memo from Fox News. It took him a minute, but he finally got around to saying what nearly everyone there was thinking: President Obama is taking the country down the primrose path to fascism.

Again, transcript follows the video.

TRANSCRIPT:

... know what he earned. Everybody had equal opportunity. Along came the Great Depression and the 1920s, 1930s, and the New Deal came along. [from audience: “Raw Deal!”] That was the seed of socialism [laughter -- mine], and it's been creeping up every now and then, little bit every time. Next thing you know, we have the Great Society: more socialism. Now we've got Obama and his bailout for the fat cats can't manage their businesses, and more socialism. Half of the money that was just appropriated is going for pet projects and not for actual, uh, funding that will improve the economy.

Let's go back in history again to the 1920s. Two men came to power in Europe under similar circumstances as we have today. They went from socialism to fascism. If we don't take back our government, take back our Constitution and make it be what it was written to be, we are going to be a fascist country rather than the stupid socialist country we are today. [crowd: cheers, “Amen!”] [Unintelligible] and stop this horse manure. Thank you.

UPDATE (11:21 pm 4/19/09): You know how I said I would get all the videos and pictures posted today? I lied. Sorry about that.

Tomorrow's a travel day for me, heading back to America's Taint™, so while I'll do my sucky radio show and a post or two, it'll be a challenge for me to put up pics and video until late tomorrow night.

Anyway, thanks. I just didn't want to leave my loyal readers -- either one of you -- hanging.
