Perhaps that is what Fred Phelps is attempting when he shows up at soldiers funerals with his hate filled signs, constitutional rights and all.
Kind of like comparing the McCain rally attendees as
~I will agree that I have been VERY disturbed by some of what I have seen and heard inside McCain/Plain rallies this past week.
You are totally wrong and misconstrued everything I post or say because you are Obama's supporter....of course you did not like it...it is about Obama!!! Huh...you want to cut someone's speech and view like Obama did in MO and another State? It doesn't work with me!
I did not produce that video...it was produced by Obama Kenya's body he wanted to be elected...so, which part does it not meet your view...that Obama is exposed????
You do have to admit that if you had been told in the early days after 9/11 that we would be
Did I say you produced it?

I really tried to read what you posted but I could not for the life of me understand what you are trying to say.
What does this mean? "ou want to cut someone's speech and view like Obama did in MO and another State?"
And this? "it was produced by Obama Kenya's body he wanted to be elected...so, which part does it not meet your view...that Obama is exposed?"
All I really get from this is that you are angry, you do not like Obama, and you think everyone should agree with you - even if you fail to articulate your message clearly.
By the way, did your name use to be hillary123?
>>What I saw that was similar was the framing of Obama as the "other". In this instance, they were insisting he was a "terrorist", "Muslim", etc..
When that's combined with hate and fear, it makes for exactly the same climate that led to the Holocaust.
I'd caution people from dismissing what's going on, particularly in light of the economic crisis (another factor that contributed to what led to the Holocaust).
The human tendency in such situations of insecurity and perception of danger is to look for scapegoats, make things up about people in order to frame them as a danger (which calling somebody a "terrorist" can certainly do).
It can have astoundingly dangerous consequences. <<
I agree wholeheartedly. In addition, they didn't just blame Obama for "being Muslim" and a "terrorist", they blamed him for the economy and for not protecting "the most innocent". It was clear to me from the comments that the people in the crowd were just prejudiced and hateful. They expressed no understanding or substance to back up their claims.
It is beyond me how anyone could view this footage and not feel a gut level revulsion and a bit of horror.
