WE have seen this kind of thing before. It was, as I recall, called the Waffen SS. Make of that, what you will...

Minor correction here. The security apparatus of the Third Reich was under the auspices of the Reich Main Security Office (RSHA). The Secret State Police ("Gestapo") and the Security Service ("SD") were organizations under RSHA. The Gestapo existed to uncover subversion against the state and the SD focused on the party. They were both subsidiaries of the General SS, as was the Waffen SS. But the Gestapo and the SD are the organizations to compare here, not the Waffen SS.

At this point, I think Obama is only thinking about his own Gestapo, not his own SD (yet).

Not to be nitpicky, FRiend, you were probably thinking of the SA (SturmAbteilung). Commonly remembered as the Brownshirts or Storm Troopers. Common thugs and criminals with pretty uniforms.

No, this is his Sturmabteilung (SA), the Obama Truth Squads are the Schutzstaffel. Those freaky kids were the Obamajugend.

No, the Waffen SS was actually a military unit that conducted itself honorably. The civilian SS ran the concentration camps, kicked in people’s doors, and so on.

At what point does Godwin’s Law cease to apply to discussions of Obama, by the way?
