Arizona Lawmaker Rages Against 'De Fuhrer' Obama In Angry Facebook Post

[n2doc]

TER WALKER – OCTOBER 7, 2013, 5:19 PM EDT
In an angry Facebook post Monday, Arizona state Rep. Brenda Barton (R) likened President Barack Obama to Adolph Hitler for having National Parks Service officers close monuments during the government shutdown.

"Someone is paying the National Park Service thugs overtime for their efforts to carry out the order of De Fuhrer... where are our Constitutional Sheriffs who can revoke the Park Service Rangers authority to arrest??? Do we have any Sheriffs with a pair?" Barton wrote.

Barton's post was a reference to the title used by Hitler, which was actually, der fuhrer, or "the leader" in German.

Just before she compared Obama to the Nazi dictator, Barton wrote a pair of Facebook posts criticizing the President's behavior during the shutdown. She said she was "FURIOUS" about the closure of the memorials in Washington, D.C., accused Obama of holding the country "in contempt," and accused the president of maintaining his "excessive staff" while punishing Americans.

"While the POTUS continues to punish the American people; he keeps open his golf course, he keeps open Camp David, and he retains his and his wife's excessive staff and stable of Czars! I'll bet he has kept in service his 3 food tasters!!!" wrote Barton.

5. It gets tiring to see sub-morons invoking Hitler's name when they clearly understand nothing.

Also, regarding the Republican shutdown and the Republicans' attempts to blame shutdown-related activities on the President, eat shit and dis, Congresswoman Barton, you stupid fuck.

Unfortunately, neither does TPM:

Barton's post was a reference to the title used by Hitler, which was actually, der fuhrer, or "the leader" in German.

First, nouns are always capitalized in German. Second, the 'u' should have an umlaut (two dots) above it. In German, a vowel character with an umlaut is considered to be a completely separate vowel from the same vowel character without an umlaut, so you don't just omit the umlaut. If for some reason one cannot produce the umlaut, there is an option of adding an 'e' immediately following the vowel character instead. So the two possible, proper renderings are: 'der Führer' or 'der Fuehrer.'
