Arizona GOP House Candidate Compares Saddam Hussein’s Invasion Of Kuwait To President Obama

http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2012/02/25/431947/frank-antenori-saddam-hussein-barack-obama/

TUCSON, Arizona — Arizona congressional candidate Frank Antenori compared Barack Obama’s presidency to Saddam Hussein’s 1990 invasion of Kuwait, telling a Tea Party crowd this week to “imagine…having your country taken from you and then having to fight for it to get it back. We’re at that point here in this country.”

If I remember correctly, it is a blue part of the state.

GOP is finished in Tucson, especially after Gabby.

I actually think baby Bush's military invasion of Iraq is more comparable to Saddam's attempted military annexation of Kuwait than a black guy being president.

These psychos keep asserting what a bad, oppressive president Obama is, but I'd really hate to see how they are when they take office.

Unfortunately, the election of an African American President seems to have given the racists some perceived license to be open about it again. It started with the mcsame/palin(comparison) rallies, IMHO.

PEACE!
