Tea Party activists fund sign linking Obama to Hitler

A billboard advert in the US state of Iowa that linked President Obama to Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Lenin was removed on Wednesday morning.

The sign, which was funded by a group of local Tea Party activists, has been replaced with a community service announcement.

Text on the sign had read: "Radical leaders prey on the fearful & naive."

The billboard had angered many in the local community, including other Tea Party activists.

A representative of the Iowa group called the billboard's owner and requested the sign be removed on Tuesday evening.

A national Tea Party representative had called the controversial poster a waste of money, time and resources.

"It's not going to help our cause. It's going to make people think that the Tea Party is full of a bunch of right-wing fringe people, and that's not true," Shelby Blakely, of the national Tea Party Patriots group, told the Associated Press agency.

"When you compare Obama to Hitler, that to me does a disservice to the Jews who both survived and died in the Holocaust and to the Germans who lived under Nazi regime rule," Mr Blakely said.

A spokesperson for the 200-person group that organised the billboard said it was intended to critique socialism, but admits that their message was overshadowed by the fascist images.
Tea Party condemned

On Tuesday, America's largest civil rights group passed a resolution condemning the Tea Party for tolerating racism and bigotry.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has not released the language of the motion, but a spokesperson has said that it calls on Tea Party members to "repudiate the racist element and activities within the Tea Party".

"We don't have a problem with the Tea Party's existence. We have an issue with their acceptance and welcoming of white supremacists into their organisations," said Ben Jealous, NAACP President.

Sarah Palin has responded to the resolution on her Facebook page.

"The charge that Tea Party Americans judge people by the colour of their skin is false, appalling, and is a regressive and diversionary tactic to change the subject at hand," Mrs Palin wrote.

I agree this just gives fuel to the liberal media to spin the tea party as a whole into something that they dont represent...

Good sign.  


Obama is the consumate demogague and pied piper for dupes willing to follow him off the cliff with his horrific agenda.

They should have substituted Hitler with Madoff.

They should avoid this kind of stuff altogether.  They have a great message and this just distracts from the message.

I'm sure whoever had this bright idea is punching himself in the face right now, especially with the whole tea party racism debate in full swing. Maybe it was some democratic inside job?  :o  ;D ;D ;D

LOL!!!
As soon as I saw the billboard, I knew the point they were trying to illlustrate…
…and I knew the problems it would cause.

Very stupid move.

Repubs could have midterm elections in the bag if they don’t defeat themselves.
This - along with some of the other numb shit they‘ve done - will require damage control.
Of course, the Hussein administration has plenty of their own problems to explain away.

Rather than smear tactics, both parties would do well to concentrate fully on saving face, which will certainly be no easy task for either of them.
It may come down to who's mistakes & excuses piss off the voters more, rather than being another election of empty/unrealistic promises.

Please explain to me how ANY part of that sign is racist?This is exactly why Obama is going to lose the country.Any insults that come his way are instantly called racist,even if there isnt a shred of racism involved.

Now,lets see,the NAACP called the tea parties racist.Members of the NAACP include Jesse Jackson,Al Sharpton,Rev. Wright..Hello pot meet Kettle.

Glad I’m not the only one.
That battle cry has just become a tired and often completely inaccurate retort - as is the case here.

So far, the blaming of others is the main explanation we get from this administration.
Either that, or they give no explanation at all.

And the only retort from people who defend the administration are deflection, spin, and personal insults.

Would have been much better served using a picture of Mao or Pol Pot instead of Hitler.

I read your post and no matter what they do they will be labeled racist.This sign is just the latest thing for libs to knock them on.Christ,if libs have nothing to knock them about they make it up.Just like that fool ass lying  idiot racist scum bag John Lewis did when he claimed they screamed the n word at him.A liar from the start.

This sign wont do any damage to the tea parties,because libs just will make up something if they didnt have anything to knock them about.The tea parties should continue to put signs like this up.Let libs piss all over themselves.

Those signs are absolutely despicable. I never defended anybody who compared Bush to Hitler and won't start doing it now even though I couldn't stand him as President. He was our President and deserved respect for holding that position and office.

That's what makes you look like a lunatic moron. In general a lot of your posts make sense and you do have an argument but when you make statements like that you make an ass out of yourself. I really don't think there is any need for that kind of hateful language

This is where we disagree.Its the office that deserves respect,not the man holding the office.The problem is we have elevated these government shmucks into semi-gods.Sorry,they are just like you and me.I dont respect anyone that doesnt respect me,and this administrations policies obviously has no respect for me so I dont respect anyone in it.If I saw John Lewis on the street Id spit at him and really show him how I feel instead of him making it up and there wouldnt be a dam thing he could do about it if he wasnt a congressman.So whats to resect?

 So how would you be able to respect the office...without respecting the President? That's kinda hard to do don't you think?
