CNN's 'Anti-Government' TEA Party Reporter:Obama as Hitler? 'Offensive'-Bush as Hitler? 'Look-Alike'
NewsBusters.org ^ | 04/16/2009 | Seton Motley

CNN reporter Susan Roesgen became a pseudo-"journalistic" anti-hero yesterday for her obnoxiously belligerent interview of one Taxed Enough Already (TEA) Party participant and her overall assessment of the more than 750 events around the country as amongst other derogatory things "anti-government."

But in another segment, she delved into rank hypocrisy the likes of which we rarely find even in the woefully biased liberal media pantheon.

In it she sought out another TEA Party participant who had a mocked-up sign in which President Barack Obama is melded with Adolf Hitler. She immediately began arguing with this gentleman as well; amongst the things she angrily said were "Why be so hard on the President of the United States with such an offensive message?" and "Do you realize how offensive that is?"

We will admit that portraying President Obama as Der Fuhrer is a bit over the top. But Miss Roesgen's sensitivity to being "so hard on the President of the United States with such an offensive message" seems only to arise when the Hitler-izing involves Democratic Commanders-in-Chief.

“Do you realize how offensive that is?”
That useless hackbag.
That question should have been answered with “And do you realize how offensive it was to call President Bush ‘Hitler’? Of course not! He’s not a Democrat!”

No it is not. It is a very appropiate comparison.

Wow, doesn’t get much more clear cut than that when it comes to CNN bias.

CNN is irrelevant. Even MSDNC has overtaken them.

When are we going to wake up and realize that it’s not the media whose attention we need to get?

Not just that!! Hitlery Clinton's sound bite where she screams “We are Americans and we have a right to disagree, with ANY administration” should be blasted in front of their buildings LOUDLY!

And her last statement, saying she was going to end the coverage as it wasn't “family viewing”????? THAT was most offensive of all!

She’s ready for a promotion to NBC.

just re-inforces the Commie Clueless Clinton noose network image thingy

Ted must be real proud.

I wish somebody had. She would have either come across as a hypocrite or lost her standing with the loony left. What a ridiculous performance that cheapened whatever dignity is left for the mainstream media.

He more resembles Stalin. And Stalin (A) was the model for Saddam Hussein and (B) killed more people than Hitler.

They are quite different. Hilter was fairly brilliant but completely evil. Obama is not brilliant.

I think he resembles more Hitler because like Obama he kept superficially the structure of private ownership and enterprise, while undermining them by redtaping and making them beholden to government.

Also unlike Stalin or Saddam, Hitler and Obama achieved power not through revolution or a coup, but through a democratic process.

Stalin merely was an heir to Lenin, the Sovietunion was already a tyranny.

Hitler turned step-by-step a democratic republic into a one-party dictatorship. Obama is following in his footprints.

Also the US, like Germany then was a modern, western country, unlike the underdeveloped Soviet Russia and Iraq.
