Here's an interesting article I found from the April 16, 2008 New York Sun. You want creepy? Read the article above and then read the Sun article.

Here's a sample:

..."On the street, Germans were supposed to use the Hitler greeting instead of "Good morning!" Postmen were meant to bark out a "Heil Hitler!" to customers before handing them their morning mail. Schoolchildren greeted their teachers every morning with "Heil Hitler!" One of the many entertaining illustrations in the book shows a wall painting from a German school depicting the prince greeting Sleeping Beauty not with a kiss, but with a Hitler salute. The gesture had become ubiquitous and inescapable.

But what exactly did it mean? "Heil!" didn't just mean "Hail!"; the word also carried connotations of healing, health, and good wishes. "Heil Hitler!" therefore involved implicitly wishing the Nazi Leader good health, and also invoking Hitler as a kind of Supreme Being who could grant good health to the greeting's recipient. In both cases, Hitler was introduced as an omnipresent third party whenever two Germans came across each other."...

Before you say it, I'll say it for you: Obama is not Hitler. However, the similarities between what happened then and what is happening now with these "pledges" is way to creepy not to note.

OMG, it would be a trip to start this as a joke. But instead of saying Heil, just say "Fare Well Obama"... start a meme and see if the libtards pick it up without realizing what we are mocking...

There is 0bama’s call for the formation of a gestapo/nazi ss style force (Civilian National Security Force).

There is the 0bama youth who sang praises upon 0bama much like the hitler youth did for hitler.

There was his Nuremberg style rally/acceptance speech.

Now there is the bill to create permanent relocation camps throughout the country.

This whole thing is beyond creepy.
