Scraping the bottom of the barrel
Seeing polls showing a dark November for the GOP, radio wingnuts have sunk to yet another new low.
From Media Matters:
Summary: Fox News Radio host Tom Sullivan took a call from a listener who stated that when listening to Barack Obama speak, "it harkens back to when I was younger and I used to watch those deals with Hitler, how he would excite the crowd and they'd come to their feet and scream and yell." Sullivan then played a "side-by-side comparison" of a Hitler speech and an Obama speech. Sullivan mimicked the crowd during both speeches, yelling, "Yay! Yay!" When a later caller complained that Sullivan was "denigrating" Obama with the comparison, Sullivan said he wouldn't play it again, then begged: "Can I, please, one more time? Just one more time? Then I won't do it again. ... Until the next time."
So that's the new talking point from the "Fair and Balanced" network: Delivering an inspiring speech = Hitler.
They're not alone in this stupidity. A quick look around reveals that here are similar posts on a few conservative blogs.
This is beyond parody.
