You stay classy

Remember when it was like a 3-week story when some random person submitted a possible ad in a Move-On contest and dared to compare Bush to Hitler?

The right-wing talked about how that should NEVER EVER be done.

Welcome to 'Murica less than a decade later.

National Rifle Association President David Keene on Friday defended the decision by gun rights activists in Albany, N.Y., to wave signs depicting Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo as Hitler. The signs were prevalent at a protest Thursday against New York state's new gun regulations, where Keene spoke to a crowd of approximately 5,000 gun rights supporters.

Funny thing, it was Bush who said a dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as he was the dictator.

And, given the frequency that he tried to bypass Congress and the courts, to reinforce the "unitary executive," maybe he didn't mean it as a joke.

Did the Andrew Cuomo 2014 re-election committee get those signs printed? They've got money to burn (over $20 million in the kitty already).

Even if they didn't get punked, those protesters were certainly useful idiots carrying those signs at a protest in Albany. That's going to hurt Republicans all over the state.

The NRA doesn't care -- they're letting their freak flag fly. They're hoping we'll think they're just crazy enough to use those guns against us, and back off.

Bingo! It's like Nixon's "madman" strategy to intimidate North Vietnam all over again... Or like Hitlers brownshirts terrorizing Germany.

Rightwingers go for this tactic because their commitment to getting their own way is deeper than their commitment to Democracy.

let's just hope some loose cannons don't start a shooting rampage like that nut who took his gun to shoot up the Unitarian church in Knoxville TN after hearing tons of bullshit from Faux News about how liberals really deserve to be shot...
