(07-14) 10:35 PDT Des Moines, Iowa (AP) --
An Iowa tea party group on Wednesday replaced a billboard comparing President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Lenin, calling the sign a bad decision that reflected poorly on the organization.
The roughly 200-member tea party group had the original sign put up last week. It showed photographs of Obama, Nazi leader Hitler and communist leader Lenin beneath the labels "Democrat Socialism,""National Socialism," and "Marxist Socialism."
After the billboard drew sharp criticism by other state and national tea party leaders, members of the local group sought the change.
Johnson said Hitler images are usually not allowed at North Iowa Tea Party gatherings.So we have a party that welcomes white supremacists/neo-Nazis, and uses fear and hatred to rile up their ignorant members (who are the biggest users of socialism), comparing Obama to Hitler, with the slogan "radical leaders prey on the fearful and naive".
There are so many levels of hypocrisy here I don't even know where to begin. I would have never thought that any party could outdo the "Republicans" when it comes to hypocrisy.
Then again, with Sarah Palin as their avatar, I should have expected as much.
