27 replies, posted
[QUOTE]In a controversial tweet on Sunday, a Republican congressional candidate from Ohio likened President [B]Barack Obama[/B] to murderous dictators like [B]Adolf Hitler[/B] and [B]Joseph Stalin[/B]. “History has a way of repeating itself: Stalin, Hitler, Mao Tse Tung and now Obama!!!” wrote Dr. [B]Marisha Agana[/B], the Republican candidate for Ohio’s 13th congressional district seat, via [URL="https://twitter.com/MarishaAgana/status/232122877154050048"]Twitter[/URL]:

After an assumedly offended Twitter user attempted to flag her tweet to a local news station, Agana tweeted further explanation that “the Blood of thousands of unborn children r in his hands…….”:

[URL="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0812/79404.html"]As Politico points out[/URL], Agana’s campaign website points out that the candidate was born in the Philippines in 1960 and was a “subject of the dictatorial Marcos regime” and “suffered through the consequences of a government intent on ignoring its Constitutional limitations.”
Monday morning, Agana addressed an irate Twitter user, apologizing for her “poor choice of analogy” but reiterating that she was referring to the president’s pro-abortion stance:

Agana is set to be the Republican challenger to incumbent Rep. [B]Tim Ryan[/B] (D-OH) in the November 6th election.[/QUOTE]

When a Democrat says a GOP candidate hasn't paid his taxes it's covered on every major station 24/7.
When a Republican says the[B] sitting Democratic presiden[/B]t is Hitler, Stalin, or Mao you don't see it anywhere.
[I]Damned liberal media[/I]
You're tremendously overblowing the problem of political alignments in the media.

And because the analogy was stupid. Anyone could compare anyone to Hitler and Stalin. It'd get old fast, which is why the media isn't covering it.
I, for one, enjoy keeping up to date with how stupid some people are.

No I'm not. I'm making a joke about people who say the media is liberal, a popular conspiracy theory amongst the Right. Did you even read what I typed?
"the blood of thousands of unborn children [B]r in[/B] his hands"? first of all, a person in congress should at the very least use proper grammar. Second of all, the bolded text, r in his hands? is she saying Obama injects the blood of fetuses into his hands? :v:

It was bolded by the source, probably to show how illiterate someone who wants to hold public office is.
...Dr Marisha Agana, a pediatrician from Warren Ohio...

I find it amazing politicians in America can get away with that bullshit. If you try that over here, that's your political career down the gutter immediately.

If you weren't actually implying that the media in general is conservative, then I apologize for my short-sightedness.

The rhetoric is getting really bad. Conservative friend of mine doesn't like Romney because he is no where near conservative but is voting for him because he [I]literally thinks Obama is going to destroy America. [/I]

I don't even know how you could possibly have worked that out of what I typed.

Of course someone could get that out of [I]that[/I], mistaken as they may be.
They say shit like this and then they get tons of attention. They're like Kotaku.

Vitriolic rhetoric like that incites violence. It has no benefit to civil discourse and someone running for public office has no business using it so flippantly.

My point is that the mainstream media is lazy and sensationalist, and didn't have a political affiliation about it.
I keep wanting to bang my head against my desk everytime I see someone with political power say something this fucking stupid.
politicians
scum of the earth

or cum if you want to include all their affairs
Thought it said Hitler, Stalin, And Mac
why couldn't she have taken out some periods and used proper spelling at least. Also grammar.
Guess what Hitler, Stalin, and Mao did. THEY CREATED JOBS!
SHE'S OBVIOUSLY SALUTING OBAMA! RIGHT GUYS?
Christ, the stupidity of many Americans are astounding. People draw conclusions about Obama that are so out there - I mean, if the guy wanted a dictatorship over the US, he would have probably done something already and he would have been impeached almost immediately.
And people always say that he flip-flops on his stances on issues... yeah, and Mitt doesn't?
What a wonderful hole we've dug ourselves into.
Pretty sure stalin banned abortion and gay marriage.

People will vote for anyone who literally isn't Obama. They would vote for a fruit basket if they could.
Michele Bachmann dropped out awhile ago though.
Killing millions of people = killing a wad of cells?
okay then.
