Does this not remind you of Nazi Germany?

I came across some short video clips of the "tea-baggers" and they really do remind me of the Nazis in the way they act and the way they try to spread proapaganda. Just watch these and be amazed. I expect Republicans to be just as appalled as Democrats because NEITHER side likes the Nazis.

Now something to compare them to:

I found the similarities REALLY disturbing, I'm sure you will too. If you don't watch the videos, don't bother answering, you'll look like an idiot and I'll ignore you.

Update:

Ok, people you're missing the point. This tea-party right now is the same as when the Nazis were just starting out. If they get into power, I believe that the US will be run the way Nazi Germany was.

    They do seem to be using many of the same fear-mongering tactics...

    But they're way too fringe to get into power. Who takes the "birthers" seriously? Most Americans just ignore 'em.

    These people seem to be latching on to every ridiculous conspiracy theory the Becks, Coulters and Limbaughs of the world toss out. That utterly marginalizes them, even though their call for limited government is something that many Americans agree with.

    Nazi Germany did not allow groups to protest the Government. All opposition groups had their leaders rounded up and sent away to Dachau.

    So, comparing the Tea Party Movement with Nazis in Germany it totally off base and degrading.

    The asker uses inflammatory comments in regard to the Tea Party members which are untrue. Anyone can take anything out of context and twist it into something it isn’t. Al Gore did this and won an Oscar.

    I know my 10 points are gone, but hey, I did get 2.

    Also to carry this much farther, the Nazi movement in Germany was a Fascists movement. The Tea Party movement in America is a conservative movement. The Nazi party wanted to shape the country into something different from what it was at the time. The Tea Party Movement wants to keep America in the vision set forth by our Founding Fathers.

    Sorry is I disagree with the asker, but this is still the United States and I still have a right to my own opinion.

    Don't worry the EU is doing that to all the states in Europe and being helped by the national governments. The EU of course being the 4th Reich.

    No. I'm a Democrat and I see no similarities at all. The Nazis would not have allowed the tea baggers to even congregate.

    Meanwhile, Obama's attempts to shut down any media that doesn't praise him doesn't? Obama sending thugs to attack ( and bite off fingers! ) at town meetings doesn't? Obama using the government to prevent insurance companies from expressing their side of issues doesn't? Obama's desire to create a private military that reports only to him ( identical to the SS for the keeping score at home ) doesn't?

    But no, you won't meantion that. So, should we point out that you look like an idiot?

    No, I do not see any similarities.

    You must not have much in the way of critical thinking skills.
