Obama-Hitler-Lenin

Story from Yahoo News 7/14/2010

DES MOINES, IOWA- A billboard created by an Iowa Tea Party group comparing President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Lenin has been removed. Kent Beatty, the general manager of the company that owns the billboard, says a North Iowa Tea Party representitive called Tuesday night and asked that the sign in downtown Mason City be removed. Beatty says his company replaced the sign Wednesday morning with a public service announcement. The original sign showed photographs of Obama, Nazi leader Hitler and communist leader Lenin beneath the labels "Democrat Socialism", "National Socialism" and "Marxist Socialism". Some Tea Party members critisized the sign and North Iowa Tea Party co-founder Bob Johnson acknowledged the pictures overwhelmed the intended message of anti-socialism.

This is David's email answer to the Executive Director of the Tea Party organization in reference to the article:

Ms. Blakley,
My name is David Faber and yes, I belong to the Tea Party. Today I read an AP article about the Obama-Hitler-Lenin billboard in Iowa. I read that people are offended and upset. I read that even you, Executive Director Tea Party Patriot, did not agree with the posting of the billboard. Ms. Blakley, I must strongly disagree with those views when I see what is going on in my country, any country, your country. People need to wake up! We are in danger. Hitler was a leader that everyone loved at first, in a country that was suffering an economic collapse, high unemployment, lack of health care, lack of housing, high fuel prices, a country struggleing to stay alive. Much like our own country today. He came along and 'helped' the people with the peoples car, Volkswagon, with banks, housing, medical care and social programs. The government took over and everyone was so needy at the time they went along with the program. The government told them what to do, when to do it and where to do it. Hitler then owned them.
Does this sound familiar? Obama is doing the same thing. He is creating a country of people that are totally dependent on the government and people are hurting so bad that like sheep are going to follow this leader. People say they don't want the government so involved but when it comes to keeping your home, your job, or your lifestyle, they will follow this leader and then he will own US! Normal, everyday people are getting sucked in by this administration and going along with the program. Yes, we may complain to our neighbors, bitch to our friends but does anyone care? Did Hitler care? Does Obama care? No, he just keeps rolling out the plans to further enslave the people. If anyone were to put up a billboard decrying that Hitler was a Dangerous Leader, they would have been silenced, much like you are doing now. I ask you please, do not silence those who 'cry out' because you need to show 'political correctness'. That is why I joined the Tea Party, I thought finally the people will have a voice! If this is not the case, let me know and I will resign my membership today. Obama only wishes that he could make the changes that Hitler made. If this billboard offends people then so be it. It is only stating the truth and I thought the Tea Party was about truth. If this billboard gets people up to save themselves, then great. Ms. Blakley, check history and you will find that we are headed down the same road as Hitlers people and yes, like his people some will die because of the Obama agenda.
Thank you for your time. David Faber, California.
