Now, both of you realize that your questions are uttelry absurd in that the Secret Service does not sit there with some sort of objective measure, nor do they publish their overal sentiment. They don't say "Obama is at 68 % chance of attack," or "Code Green" on it.

I just think that any reasonable person would think he is at higher risk, when seeing the unfounded hysteria we see at these meetings, the ridiculous, lunatic fringe claims being publicly made about him or his proposals, combined with the racial issue, and the hysteria being drummed up by so-called credible conservatives that Obama is some sort of fascist or socialist (it truly makes me laugh that some of these people think both are true -- indicating clearly that they are complete idiots).

YOU commenting on this type of activity is truly ridiculous.

I would say that the POTUS that was running a war that so many people hated him for doing, is just a little bit more in danger than the POTUS trying to bring health care reform.

Funny how people see things. On the Colbert Report last night they did a long (for the show) skit mocking the Obama is a Nazi thing. I don't remember any similar reaction to the Bush is a Nazi stuff (both claims are loony). I wish for once that the show would balance out - there's so much comedic material that is out of bounds apparently due to show ideology. Unfortunate.

The real irony to me is the people who say that Obama is a Nazi in one sentence, and then that he's a socialist or a communist in the very next.

The shallowness of people's understanding of what those terms mean is startling, whether they be from the left or the right.

Well...we are still under surveillance and the troops are still around the globe. That is what penned the Nazi label on Bush Jr. I know the parlance is incorrect but...

The Nazi label on Bush is just as idiotic as it is on Obama. The Hitler labeling is nothing more than an appeal to the lowest common denominator in any debate.

until the death camps became common knowledge and the extent of Hitler's madness exposed, his National Socialist movement was the envy of the American progressives.

Huh? You mean to say that the 1939 equivalent of today's American liberals rooted for Hitler as he invaded Poland and bombed France? Are you seriously that deluded?

I do not know about their feelings during the actual invasions but many of the liberal and socialist party members of that time were very open to it when Hitler reached out to those in America to initiate a similar movement here. There were large venues filled to capacity with speakers standing in front of the very same symbols Hitler used.

Granted this was a small number of Americans overall but so were the socialists and what we call liberals today. The point is many of them embraced Hitler and what he stood for before the actions he was responsible for came to light.

Well, a small number of current ultra right people in this country would support David Duke as Preisdent. Let's not insinuate or suggest that Obama is like Hitler because, at one time, you could find "liberals" who thought he was a good thing.

That's just stupid.

I never tried to insinuate or suggest anything. I was simply pointing out that the liberals and socialist of the time had good opinions of Hitler, maybe that changed after his blitzkrieg, I simply don't know. My point was the liberal and socialist forefathers of the progressives we see today seemed ready to embrace Hitler with open arms in many ways, at least at first anyway.

And don't try to spin it as me correlating Obama to Hitler, just throwing some history out there.

Actually, socialism and fascism (which is akin to Nazism) are related concepts. Both rely on state control albeit via different means. Put another way socialism and fascism are closer to each other than either is to capitalism. In practice, communism and fascism have looked quite similar.

To me the irony is how people that were quite comfortable with Bush being compared to Hitler are indignant about Obama and the same comparison. Comparing either to Hitler is plain dumb.

The GOP has David Duke and your beloved party has NAMBLA...

He is irrelevant to you as a caricature because you are thoughtful and intelligent. But, you are absolutely deluding yourself if you think he is not setting agendas, perpetuating outright misrepresentations and half truths, promoting very extreme and dangerous views of Obama, etc.

What is going to happen is that one of his regular listeners is going to take a pot shot and you will see this enormous recoil on the part of the mainstream Republicans, this distancing from him. It really already has begun. But if that happens -- and I increasingly fear it will -- I truly hope that it sobers up a lot of the people that are taking direction from him.

Its a lot more than you think.
