A new billboard on Highway 71 in Missouri shows the President alongside ruthless dictators Adolph Hitler and Mao Tse-Tung. It reads "In troubled times, the fearful and naive are always drawn to charismatic radicals," the billboard reads, showing Obama as a symbol of "Democratic Socialism," Hitler as an agent of "National Socialism" and Mao as a purveyor of "Communist Socialism."Despite what it says on this billboard we can't think of any credible association between Obama and Hitler. We can however quite easily show the deep relationship, past and present, between the American right-wing and Nazis/white supremacists. First of course, the Bush family got rich underwriting the Nazi war machine. Then the GOP used the self described "Southern Strategy" to build their base with racists. And to this day the GOP and white supremacist organizations make common cause. They really shouldn't have brought it up.
