Shocked journalists this afternoon were quick to react to the Drudge Report’s controversial header photo comparing President Obama to Hitler and Stalin. The item linked to a Weekly Standard article reporting that President Obama was willing to address the gun issue with an executive order.
“Hitler and Stalin!” exclaimed BuzzFeed Editor Ben Smith on Twitter alerting most of his followers by linking directly to the Drudge Report.
“Drudge rules our world,” responded Slate journalist David Weigel to Smith’s post on Twitter, later adding sarcastically, “SOMETHING SHOCKING HAS BEEN POSTED ON THE INTERNET.”
“Our right is nuttier than your right (US to 193 countries),” wrote the Al-Monitor’s Laura Rozen.
The Washington Post’s Greg Sargent begged his followers not to talk about or visit the Drudge Report.
“Dear everyone: Talking about how Drudge’s visuals are ruse to get attention = giving Drudge attention,” he wrote.
“Also, don’t link to Drudge – link to twitpic,” the Washington Post’s James Downie added.
“Why didn’t @Drudge just go all the way and put Obama’s photo between Adolph and Josef?” asked Michael Rosten, a social media editor for the New York Times.
“The new gold standard in Godwin’s Law violations,” wrote Business Insider’s Joseph Weisenthal in reaction to the picture.
“Seriously Drudge?” asked Newsweek’s Michael Moynihan who added a link to one of his own columns, “Someone needs to read my @tabletmag column.”
“Yep, Obama is just like Hitler and Stalin by trying to clean up databases on gun purchases and violence,” Sam Stein from the Huffington Post tweeted sarcastically.
“Has the Drudge Report ever been Drudgier than it is right now?” tweeted The Washington City Paper’s Mike Madden.
“Drudge thinks that there hasn’t been enough Drudge talk lately,” surmised Mike Memoli a reporter in the Tribune/LA Times DC Bureau.
“Really? Drudge is shocking people?” asked Roll Call’s David Drucker sarcastically. “C’mon.”
“Whoa. Drudge sending a message today. Wow,” tweeted Breitbart.com’s Matthew Boyle.
“So Drudge is right now comparing President Obama to Hitler and Stalin on his homepage,” reported John Avlon, a Senior Columnist for Newsweek & The Daily Beast.
“Current splash on Drudge Report should satisfy the entirety of their mouthbreather audience,” tweeted the Huffington Post’s Drew Guarini.
“Disgusting,” tweeted The Huffington Post’s Amanda Terkel retweeting a Teletubbies parody of the controversial headline tweeted by the @HuffPostHill account. The message read: “Drudge has crossed the line: pic.twitter.com/BYCn6MPE”

“Journalists react in shock to Drudge Report header featuring Hitler and Stalin”
They’re not shocked; angry and embarassed (that they’ve been exposed as tools of the murderous left), but not shocked.
When the MSM starts crowing, you know you’ve hit a nerve and are close to the target.
Well done, sirs.
I recently read Amity Schlaes' "The Forgotten Man" and she makes a lot of the same points, but without reference to 0bama. Zero is repeating FDR's mistakes, in almost every detail. The MSM is in Zero's pocket, so he'll never be called out, and only people with some knowledge of FDR's REAL history will see how bad 0bama is in all respects.
“Bush loved America. The Obama communist monster dictator hates America and wants America destroyed”
Careful there.
Bush and Obama are remarkably similar in some ways.
Both may profess to love America, but both sought to “improve” it along the lines of their own personal desires.
In other words, neither actually loved America enough to leave it alone and abide by it’s Constitutional principles. Neither could leave it unmolested by their self-important meddling to “make it better”
They are more the same than they are different.
They both were disasters and both should be ashamed, but neither of them will ever be, nor will their ardent supporters.
It’s only “shocking” because these “journalists” didn’t understand the history of these two dictators confiscating guns from their respective public.
They might as well get used to the dictator analogy, because Obama will continue to demonstrate that it is correct.
Exactly the same and OB is following the same script.
Hitler and Stalin used Motherland & Fatherland, We are currently using Homeland, think Homeland Security.
Hitler used mandatory one hour of exercise for Hitlers Youth. Think Play360.
*play360 builds playgrounds where there are none and trains others to do the same.
We leverage the local: local materials, local labor, local tools.
Our playgrounds create hands-on educational resources for schools.
Playgrounds cultivate 21st century skills: Collaboration, Innovation, Social Skills
Building a community playground empowers parents to create change in their communities.*
This is all from Play360s website. Chilling parallel to what happened with Hitlers Youth. See any mention of getting in shape? Its all about building a new generation of kids that will obey the state just like what happened in Nazi Germany.
All these kids will be future Dems just like HY all became leaders in the Nazi party.
My first real job in 1969 (after high school and business school) was at Gulf Oil and back then, girls were hired as mail messengers then promoted to secretaries as positions opened. One of our tasks was to pick up stamps for the secretaries.
I remember this one time I got stamps for an executive secretary who must have been in her late 40's or 50's. I picked up the ones with FDR's face. When I delivered them to her, she took one look at them, came close to throwing them back at me and stated that she NEVER wanted stamps with HIS face. She HATED the man.
I had to return them and get others. I did not understand what made her despise him. I'm starting to now.
Liberals encourage abortion, want to kill the sick and now want to confiscate guns. Nope... no similarities there at all.
Exactly! What a bunch of hypocrites.
Don’t these smarmy little weasel liberal so-called journalists make you sick. Just like obama voters, no one is allowed to disagree and they’re all stupid. They’re so stupid they don’t realize that if a “Hitler” gets in, they’re going to the gallows and they’ll be replaced by HIS so-called journalist. And the voters will be taken for a ride in a cattle car.
Watch and see.
The anti-christ is alive and well and currently residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Woe unto the inhabitants of the world.
But the King of Kings is coming “soon and very soon.”
Here is a good one.."Kenyan-born Obama"...In the history of US politics has there EVER been a candidate who so brazenly advertised his foreign birth? NEVER! Not even Chester A. Arthur. But of course this is ALL the result of conspiracy nuts according to the MSM. The guy is a blatant foreigner, twice unconstitutionally elected, and nobody does sh*t about it.
But you got to remember that in their eyes, the Obama supporters, that will not happen, this is America.
