the OBama billboard comparison to other radical socialists offensive or simply true?

Update:

I agree with the M&M.

Update 2:

i love how the left still like to throw out the Bush to Hitler mud they slung EVERY DAY.

Bush never acted like a radical socialist dictator, but OBama does every day.

Update 3:

no Ivan, you cannot draw your conclusion based on the info posted here. nice stretch though.

    What an amazing similarity they have struck. Obama fits the profile of the other two.

    See not a damn thing wrong with Truth, Justice, and The American Way. If you can't

    stand the heat Obama, get out of the kitchen.

    Yeah, that's right, the truth. Let's talk about the truth. The "truth" that the billboard is trying to portray is that our president is the equivalent of two separate men. The first man is Hitler, a person who implemented a system of fascist nationalism (not socialism, he called his party socialist, but it was anything but), started a World War that killed 80 million people and wounded countless others, and committed mass genocide of more than 6 million people. Yeah, that's an apt comparison. That's a really good way to explain in thoughtful, logical terms how our president's policies are leading to the death of millions. It's absurd, it's shameful, it's despicable, and it's downright horrifying. As a Jew, it's just plain offensive. I lost family in the Holocaust, and it's a massive slight to them to treat this president as even remotely similar to this mass murderer. As a lover of history, it's revisionism. As a human being, it's terrible in every regard. If they were trying to paint Obama as a socialist, they did a sad job of it.

    Offensive. There is no truth to it. It's just another attempt to paint the dishonest propaganda of conservative extremists as truth. There was just as much truth in the comparisons of Bush to Hitler.

    Edit: So by citing previous liberal comparisons of Bush to Hitler, do you admit that conservatives are no better than liberals? Conservatives are at least as big of traitors to their country as liberals are then, per your justification of this billboard.

    Obama never acted like a radical nationalist dictator, but Bush did every day.

    Reductio ad Hitlerum

    Simply a logical fallacy.

    It was outright hate mongering by the Tea Klux Klan.

    I think they missed the mark, but Obama is a wealth re-distributor regardless.

    Mussolini would have been better.
