Arizona lawmaker refers to Obama as 'De Fuhrer' on Facebook

[Stoked]

absolutely true, but by someone in government?

i remember the protesters with their Hitler signs. Those people were idiots.

Grayson , a dem from FL, was saying on the Senate floor that republicans want us to die. Is this really that different?

Not excusing it as it is inexcusable but like all things dem and Repub related it very much goes both ways.

Is this particular lawmaker 13 ****ing years old? The simpleminded stupidity Brenda Barton has put on display is astounding.

The Hitler thing is on another level imo. There is wrong, and then there is down right bat **** crazy.

Grayson's comment is wrong, and again another part of the problem. We've got the clean up the language, and the way we talk to each other.

I'll agree that it is ridiculous, but are you honestly surprised?

Saying that Republicans plan is for us to die quickly is pretty far out there as well. Do not want to debate the levels of idiocy.

Back to the basic tangent. I absolutely agree that the way we are represented in action and speech is disgusting. Senators and Congressmen should be held to a higher standard as they represent us. They need to act proffesionaly.

Reid just recently reminded the Senate about the rules of decorum in the senate. I think that was a good thing. Long, long overdue.

In this case her fellow republicans should demand that she apologize. They should do so publicly.

I'm getting pretty sick of this at this point. This has been going on for 5 years.

and you wonder what is wrong with our country?




Like many Republican lawmakers, Brenda Barton is furious that the federal government shutdown has forced the closure of national parks.

Barton, an Arizona state representative, took to Facebook to express her fury in a series of status updates Monday. In one, she compared President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler.

"Someone is paying the National Park Service thugs overtime for their efforts to carry out the order of De Fuhrer," Barton wrote. "[W]here are our Constitutional Sheriffs who can revoke the Park Service Rangers authority to arrest??? Do we have any Sheriffs with a pair?"

Fuhrer, the German term for leader, is most often associated with Hitler.

"While the POTUS continues to punish the American people," Barton continued, "he keeps open his golf course, he keeps open Camp David, and he retains his and his wife's excessive staff and stable of Czars! I'll bet he has kept in service his 3 food tasters!!!"

"The Chief Executive is acting as an Imperial President," she added, "without regard to his citizens, only caring about his agenda. With all the exemptions he has unilaterally bestowed on many interest groups, could he not delay the ACA Individual Mandate for a single year? Without regard for the elected House of Representatives. What do you call that?"

But it was the comparison to Hitler that drew criticism from many, including Arizona House Democrats.

"You owe an apology to the President, and Arizona for embarrassing us," Rep. Ruben Gallego wrote on Twitter. "You [are] potentially creating problems for many government employees. [W]hat you are saying is completely incorrect and illegal."




In an interview with the Arizona Capitol Times, Barton stood by the comparison.

“He’s dictating beyond his authority,” she said of Obama. “It’s not just the death camps. (Hitler) started in the communities, with national health care and gun control. You better read your history. Germany started with national health care and gun control before any of that other stuff happened. And Hitler was elected by a majority of people."

“It got your attention,” she added. “[President Obama is] doing something controversial. It’s not controversial that I’m criticizing him. I don’t think that’s controversial at all.”

Barton wasn't the only politician to connect the United States to the Third Reich.

In an interview with RT Spanish’ Entrevista, Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa compared American exceptionalism under Obama to Nazi Germany.

“Does not this remind you of the Nazis’ rhetoric before and during World War II?" Correa said. "They considered themselves the chosen race, the superior race, etc. Such words and ideas pose extreme danger."

This is what happens when you combine limitless stupidity, blind rage, and a free, easily accessible, semi-anonymous public forum.

The moment I hear anyone start talking about Obama's vacations and WH staff I immediately label them a Tea Bagger and disregard everything they say as babbling fanaticism. That and being from Arizona or Florida is grounds for disregarding.
