When and where did Barack obama proclaim that he was the messiah of the united states. And now we are comparing barack obama to Hitler because some children sang a song in praise of him??

I do agree that there are a lack of critical thinkers in the US. Any one gullible enough to believe or put any value in Lori Kalners writing need do critically read this piece. I really doubt Lori Kalner exists.

Is this the way to get votes for McCain by scaring people into thinking Obama will turn this country into Nazi Germany?

Do you live in a small town? Especially one wracked by a loss of jobs and unemployment. I do and Obama is not far from the truth. This is alarmist drivel trying to scare people.

Redboy,

I do not think that there is one place in any of MY posts, nor of Lori's emails from the Thoene's blog that says Obama has called himself a messiah. Nor do I think that it is correct to say that HE is being compared to Hitler in this particular post.

The topic is the propaganda styles that were used then, and are being used now. The topic is the similarities of people turning to someone who runs on 'Change' and not paying attention to what is really being said in the many soundbytes and 'polls' and biased news coverage. The topic is the similarity of events then that were witnessed by a woman who very much DOES exist with things happening now, today.

I am very sorry that you think it is gullible to listen to someone who LIVED through a country going from one form of gov't to a totalitarian form of gov't in a relatively short time, and how it happened. You need to speak to a few other survivors of those times, I think. OR to those who suddenly found themselves under Communist rule. It is too long ago to speak to those who survived the Bolshevik revolution.

You truly think it cannot happen here? It is happening in Venezuela with Hugo Chavez taking over the news, etc. It has happened in other nations, and we are not immune.

When the checks and balances of our Constitution are removed as they will be with a Federal Justice System that MAKES laws, and a Legislative Branch that also causes more and more to become dependent on Gov't, AND an Executive Branch that is leaning toward a more socialist form of gov't... a lot can happen.

Scare tactics? I think not. A realistic view of how propaganda sways people to 'change' that is NOT good, that is NOT going to preserve our rights, nor protect the citizen's of our country.

As for Lori being a real person...you take that one up with Brock and Bodie Thoene, who have known her for years.

By the way, as for your statement about it being OBAMA who will turn this country into something it is not supposed to be? No, not Obama.

The people who fall for the rhetoric, who want the gov't to 'gimme more', who pay more attention to the polls and soundbytes and 'cute kids' singing 'cute propaganda' and see nothing to worry about... those people who will vote for Obama without KNOWING what he stands for, what he is saying, etc JUST because he sounds 'good'.. those are the ones who will turn this country into something that our Founding Fathers would roll over in their grave to see happen.

Listen to Howard Stern's guy Sal interviewing three people in Harlem, REALLY listen to it...

As for where I live. Yes, I do, and I have lived in small towns that have lost their ONE company that most of the town worked in, several times. Merrill lost their paper company. Kimberly has lost theirs, Oshkosh has lost many businesses, big ones...

And a LOT of that loss stemmed from the high taxation here in WI, as well as outsourcing of jobs to other countries. Merrill? IP not only shut the Mill down, refused to sell the company, removed the machines to another mill that they owned, but also left the dam in danger of breaching. MOST of that city, that area, had been employed by that mill for years.

Economics is NOT the primary thing if LIFE is in danger.

God bless!
