What inhibits a more general recognition of Obama's aping of Nazi tactics is (1) the Marxist inspired fiction that the Nazis were on the right. (in reality they were only to the right of the Bolsheviks; but well to the Left of the Social Democrats;

(2) The racial narrative, which takes actual policies out of a broader context, and hence distorts them;

(3) The fantasy that Obama & the Leftwing of the Democratic Party, actually give more than a compulsive--but still calculated--gesture for the rights of minorities & Civil Liberties.

To see what has been really going on, one has to recognize that when you are dealing with those with little or no moral compass, virtually everything is driven by tactical not philosophic considerations. The only thing that is consistent is an unacceptable end--that is unacceptable to people who really care about right & wrong.

Very interesting! I agree with your final point more than with the inhibiting factors. I.e.: if Obama thought Nazi tactics would achieve the desired end, he’d ride roughshod over any and all inhibitions.

Personally, I imagine all that holds him back is misgivings about the tactics’ effectiveness. He’s neither bold nor fearless. He doesn’t want to commit to radical tactics only to fail. So he uses the woman, Lynch, as a test. She calls for action, and if it happens, great. If not, Lynch failed, but in Obama’s mind, he did not.
