Over The Line

I've heard about the Obama images with the Hitler mustache superimposed, but I saw them first-hand today. Coming out of the Warrenville, IL post office at lunch, there were two guys with a card table swathed in this hateful LaRouche PAC crap. It raised my ire, but I realized that engaging would be playing to their intent.

Apparently, their message is that if you support a reform in health care, you're basically a Nazi. If you are cool with another public option for getting well, you're a socialist that hates Wall Street. The biggest problem with their argument in my opinion is that we have seen no evidence that Obama has singled out a particular segment of society for eradication.

It might be naive on my part, but I truly believe he'll make it through his first term with zero genocides attributed to him. And if that's true, then we'll have to consider that his intention was not to bring an end to all of mankind, but to help us all live a more prosperous life. I know, I know - it doesn't sound real.
