1. Would Expect Something More Original From Mr. Fish
The 2011 America = 1936 Germany meme is over-played.

(and ridiculous, but that's beside the point).

6. Then you don't know anything about Nazi Germany
If you believe that the cartoon is spot on does that mean you believe Obama = Hitler?

7. The modern Hitler would be an up and coming nationalist not currently in power.

11. Obama has nothing to do with this.
Edited on Mon Jun-06-11 10:13 AM by RC
He's just is a figurehead in any case. If you think Obama = Hitler, you are thinking too small.
The Hitler depicted in the cartoon is a metaphor for the people that actually are running this country, not for any one single group or person. Our government is just a front for these guys.

13. That is the red herring he's pointing out in this cartoon
Comparing even Bush to Hitler obscured the fact that this country is definitely on track to becoming a right wing totalitarian country much the way Germany was in the 1930s.

18. YES. How can we forget how Obama arranged for Congress to be burned,
and amended the Constitution to seize absolute power and cancel all future elections? And families are being beaten up all over my town, and being arrested arbitrarily and dragged off to concentration camps.

That's a very insightful cartoon!
