Hold on just one damn minute...

[MrRain422]

Why is it interesting?

[MrRain422]

Tom Daschle to be Sec. of Health and Human Services.

Hitler "converted to Christianity" from...Catholicism? Uh...

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

The following is an email that's circulating.....fear-mongering at it's worst, but interesting nonetheless:

 

 

 

 

Who am I? Do you know?

 

I was raised in one country but my father was born in another. I was not his only child. He fathered several children with a number of women.

 

I became very close to my mother because my father showed little interest in me. Then my mother died at an early age from cancer. Later in life, questions arose over my real name. My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a reliable birth certificate.

 

I grew up practicing one faith, but converted to Christianity because this was widely accepted in my country. But I practiced non-traditional beliefs and did not follow mainstream Christianity.

 

I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and I embarked on a new career, organizing people.

 

I wrote a book about my struggles growing up. It was clear to those who read my that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.

 

I became active in local politics when I was in my 30s and then burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office when I was in my 40s. I had a virtually non-existent resume, very little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization. Yet I was a powerful speaker who managed to draw incredibly large crowds during my public appearances.

 

At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy. I was critical of my country in war. But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country's economy. I had a plan on how we could do better. I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess.

 

Mine was a peoples campaign. I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics and was able to gain widespread popular support. I offered the people the hope that together we could change our country and the world.

 

I spoke on behalf of the downtrodden including persecuted minorities such as Jews, but my actual views were not widely known until after I became my nations leader. However, anyone could have easily learned what I really believed if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with. But they did not.

 

Then I became the most powerful man in the world. And the world learned the truth.

 

 

Who am I?

 

 

 

 

 

Adolf Hitler

 

Sweet Fancy Moses. Did somebody actually send you this shit? Beyond the obvious, it is not even historically accurate for Hitler.

If Obama's planning a Hitleresque world domination with some genocide thrown in, I imagine four years from now our economy will be based on blowjobs and there will be no more stupid people.

Sign me up as a giver!

Yeah, the number of ways that this thing can be picked apart...

We're still talking about this kind of thing? Seriously?

[John Smith]

Why is it interesting?

 

It

[bleedorange]

I'm officially scared.

 

Has Obama announced what types of people are going to be designated for the internment camps? If it's white male conservatives, I'm in deep trouble.

[Analogman]

That sounds like some NRA propaganda. They sometimes make references to Hitler when they are talking about gun control.

[jakobnicholas]

Ha.

 

 

This thread is SO predictable. You all kill me.

[Edie]

why don't you post my address and phone # while you're at it

 

Who are you again?

[explodo]

Ha.

 

 

This thread is SO predictable. You all kill me.

 

He's right, guys. Next time, I say we act a little more gullible and try to get this thread on the path to being a good breeding ground for ignorance. Because America needs more of that. I'll start. Obama's dad was a crocodile that ate babies.

[MrRain422]

Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others.

[moxiebean]

This made me chuckle:

Sarah Palin for poet laureate

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

[Spawn's dad]

Who are you again?

 

one of us was being serious at least.

[bjorn_skurj]

The following is an email that's circulating.....fear-mongering at it's worst, but interesting nonetheless:

Not a terribly accurate rendering of the history of Germany between the wars. For instance, anti-Semitism was always part of the Nazi party platform. Either way, Obama is not Hitler. No moustache.

[bjorn_skurj]

Ha.

 

 

This thread is SO predictable. You all kill me.

Well, what the fuck did you think we were going to say? "OMG! Obama is HITLER?!?!? I want my vote back?"

[M. (hristine]

I guess the election post buzz is now over. I'm invoking Godwin's Law.*

 

 

*As a ViaChicago discussion wears on, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.

[mountain bed]

Looks like Daschle will be Health & Human Services Secretary.

[Spawn's dad]

Am I missing the part where it mentions Obama at all? Seems like

a heap of defensive overreaction to normal email spam.

I hope for your sake you're part of the tribe.

It's supposed to make the reader think it's talking about Obama, and then surprise them with Hitler at the end. They have so much in common!

Right. I blame the reader. That's what makes it interesting.
