NBC, CNN and MSNBC All Assign Communist LaRouche's Obama-Hitler Poster to Conservatives, Limbaugh
NewsBusters.org ^ | 08/12/2009 | Seton Motley

Posted on 08/12/2009 6:07:03 AM PDT by UnalienablyRight

The media have repeatedly stated how "angry," "hostile" and "ugly" town hall meetings across America are becoming. They are of course largely ascribing the nastiness to conservatives voicing their opposition to (among other things) President Barack Obama and Congress' proposed government takeover of the health care system.

The press has been particularly offended by the "extreme" use of references to Adolf Hitler specifically and Nazis generally. One image they have repeatedly used as an example of this alleged right-wing extremism is a poster of President Obama - on whose face a Hitler mustache has been Photo Shopped - bearing the caption "I've Changed."

But there's a problem with this media narrative.

Ah, do a picture search of “Bush Hitler” and see the thousands of times the left used swastikas on Bush or put the Hitler mustach on him.

Not condoning LaRouche, but Liberals scream like stuck pigs when their own tactics are used against them.

I’m confused. For 30 years, all I have heard is that LaRouche is a Nazi. Guess it all depends on which Commie/Nazi Liberal sock puppet you are listening to...

When we were standing in line to go to Senator Cardin’s Town hall meeting, we were approached by LaRouche supporters who were handing out booklets, about the size of those the Jehovah’s Witnesses like to hand out. Some people took them, but when we informed them about LaRouche, the booklets were quickly put in trash cans.

Then when I was seated in the auditorium, about 4 cameramen began to focus on something beyond my shoulder. I turned around and there was a woman holding up this booklet in front of her face. Whether she was using it to hide her face, or she was promoting the LaRouche message, I don’t know, but I think it was the latter.

It is a shame that these relatively few people are so energetic and involved in every public venue, that their presence can be used to smear all conservatives.

Okay- I am showing ignorance hear, but why would the lefty organization of Lyndon LaRouche be associating Obama with Hitler? Is it the typical Socialist infighting of Communist vs National Socialist?

RUSH ought to be good today.

When the left paraded around posters of Bush as Hitler, it was so, like, ya know, really cool.
I wonder why they're against presidential Hitler posters now? Why aren't they still, ya know, like, radically and totally awesome?

What if Rush spent an entire segment talking Bush down as Hitler today just like the left did during his term?

How would the media react? Would they join in agreeing that Bush *was* Hitler but zer0 isn’t? Or would they take the “high” road and try somehow to convince us they were outraged back then when others did this to Bush? Or would they fault Rush for making the comparisons in the first place, ignoring what has gone on in the past?

I think this would make the State Controlled American Media’s head explode.

Maybe I’ll let the LaRouchies give me their flyers next time. I see them a couple of times a week, but I just keep walking. I figure they and Greenpeace are this generation’s Moonies. Don’t slow down or they’ll ask for something.

When we get back in office, we need to form a “wolf pack” to investigate any liberal who has ever used the term “teabagger” - as that’s a hate term. Then we need to pay shills to go to protest and shout down concerned citizens... Then we need to get FOX NEWS to “notice” how angry the liberals are... eff the lying liberals...

Members of these “news” outlets frequently use the exact same talking points, even to the point of using the exact same words. What are their sources? Do they all use the same sources? Are there any real investigative reporters out there who can tell us.

Hey Dems, Freedom of Speech is a bitch, isn't it? Why don't you tackle real problems that Americans are concerned about?

You can start by proving Obama eligible to be Potus. That way The People will have one less thing to worry about.

The media didn’t focus on the death threats against Bush at the so called “peace” protests. They didn’t focus on the antiSemitic and pro-Palestinian war signs at the so called “antiwar” protests. The media didn’t focus on the Communist and Marxist funding of the so called “grassroots” “antiwar” “peace” protests.

The media covered up to turn the public against the war.

These “news” outlets need to stop functioning as compliant propaganda outlets for the Democrats. Or they need to go out of business, because they’re doing the country a disservice.

The same type of imagery was used with Bush. These news outlets never complained. Not a peep. The alphabet networks appear to be presently following the DNC/White House line.

Well then if this is the typical infighting of the Communist vs. National Socialist, then media will never get it. They still believe that the Nazi's where the Right and the Communists are the Left. That is why when that nut shot up the Holocaust Museum they referred to him as right wing. That is why they assume the American right is anti-semites. They American Left is so close in policy, thought and action to the National Socialists of the 1930’s it is scary.

Which is why they're quickly going extinct.
Today, people are adamantly against healthcare welfare, and the dinosaur media outlaws are attacking them for it. I don't think the viewers are going to be happy about that. As a matter of fact, FOX ratings have gone way up since Oboma was given his affirmative action presidency by the media.

As Martha Stewart would say - "It's a good thing."

Didn’t the communist say to infiltrate the schools, media and ???. Then after a generation you have control of the entire society. They own (literally own) 95% of the TV stations, newspapers... The good think is they don’t own the internet and talk radio. Should they try to change that, well, you know what will happen.

See the third quote on my FR profile page, the two-paragraph one by Hayek. He answered your question 50 years ago, from observations made 60 years ago. His answer is still very applicable today.
