The Tea Party (Iowa) has issued a billboard comparing Pres. Obama to Hitler and Lenin.?

Is this a fair comparison? Can President Obama's policies be said to be the same or similar to those of two of the world's greatest mass murderers?

    It's said that when you have to resort to Hitler, you've lost the argument. The Tea Party (Iowa) are a bunch of rich capitalists determined to get even richer at the expense of the American people - just like the original one in Boston.

    To compare Obama to either Hitler or Lenin is ignorant to say the least. Hitler was a mass murderer on a global scale. Lenin didn't live long enough to compete with him.Lenin was only involved in murders like that of the Tsar and his family. I don't know why there is all this animosity towards Obama compared to Bush he is a pussycat.

    I cant believe the drivel that comes out of the mouths of some people in America. Obama is more akin to Mother Theresa than Hitler or Stalin or Lenin. By the way, Lenin did not murder millions, Stalin did. Lenin led the Communist Revolution that over threw the Tzar of Russia. If you cannot even get your history right what hope is there? By the way, Bush could be compared to the worlds mass murderers as he started the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan where tens of thousands have lost their lives.

    The American called Sophie who read this message and sent me an email attacking me personally is a coward because she knows if I was able to answer her back, she would get worse than what she gave me. The truth hurts don't it *itch

    To compare anyone to Hitler is obscene. Lenin was not the mass murderer Stalin was.

    This Tea Party have shown they are ignorant fool's and they American public should realise this.

    I am all for free speech but have something debatable and decent policies to speak about .

    to call bush hitler is wrong. however bush's grandfather did have relations with the dictator.

    Rumours of a link between the US first family and the Nazi war machine have circulated for decades. Now the Guardian can reveal how repercussions of events that culminated in action under the Trading with the Enemy Act are still being felt by today's president

    Of course not but the Tea Party is an off-shoot of the Republican Conservatives - Talk about generating fear to the masses? Does anyone remember the Homeland Security Advisory System? The national threat level was color coded right after 911 - that's spreading fear - Obama's policies are not even close to that level...

    Free Speech.

    If I had billions of dollars, I would buy space on thousands of billboards across the country and put up iconic photos of 9/11 with the words "Remember This?"

    No, it is not a fair comparison. American conservatives often use extremist rhetoric in order to frighten the public into supporting their candidates. I think it would be more fair to compare Hitler to Bush, considering they were both nationalists.

    Not remotely and as the article points out, many in the Tea party have tried to stop such claims, as they make all of them look crazy.

    have to say I agree with that.
