Except For The Crossed Lines In A Circle Topped By Bird Wings Floating Above The Countryside And Some Rays Of Light, They’re Completely Different

ABC quotes Rush Limbaugh:

“And if you go and take a look at this, you will find that the Obama health care logo is damn close to a Nazi swastika logo”

Is Rush right?

You tell me.

  1. Yup. Pretty damn close. The animated bit on Rush’s page showed it even better – but I like this example. Haven’t seen that one before.

    [link to Rush’s page – Harvey]

    Aside from the closeness to the Nazi symbology, it’s pretty nuts that this guy is replacing American symbols with his own campaign logo. We are no longer American – apparently, we’re Obamican. You’d think that to sell his stuff, he’d try to incorporate American symbols, not his own… but then again, his arrogance knows no bounds. He did the same thing with the presidential-like seal before he was even elected.

    Creep.

  2. Alright, it is funny. But on a basic level, there’s something creepy about a government that comes up with self-styled symbols as a touchstone so that the masses can stop thinking on their own and look to them in “unity” for guidance and direction. And, of course, the Obama administration’s symbols are creepy, too.

  3. @3, George. That’s hilarious! Haven’t seen that flick in years.

    I think what Rush was driving at was the general look and feel of these thrice weekly posters and banners we see from the Obamacists. The shading, the poses of the masses in the background, the endless variety of the symbology based on the original Hopey-Changey Circle of Doom. It’s rather unsettling.

  4. *shudder* way too close. This disgrace is just way too creepy.

    Why is it that every time the classless disgrace comes up with something it looks like a homosexual phallic symbol?
    Does everthing he does involve the first transvestite enjoying some o face? or is rom the manual just glad to see him?

  5. “Experts say a sharp growth in so-called militia groups that helped spawn a wave of domestic terrorism in the 1990s …”

    A wave??? there was exactly one that I remember and unlike Black Panthers…for example…that guy was executed in what…like a week?

    Now we know why they threw Hillary under the bus….what name would they call people against her…feminists?

  6. liberal=Facist Nazi scum. Pelosi keeps saying the conservatives are the ones marching and hold Swastikas, but Obama and his thugs keep putting out images like this that invoke Nazi Germany. So who’s the real Nazi.

  7. The Obama one is far creepier than the Nazi one. The Nazi poster looks old and dated and foreign , from something that happened a long time ago. Something that must be remembered lest it be repeated, of course, but kind of art-deco and obscure. The Obama one looks very NOW, very current. The Nazi one has the aspect ratio of a poster, but the Obama one has the aspect ratio of a TV set. You can almost see that on the screen over the emergency broadcast tones. The Nazi one is creepy like seeing an old black and white film of people in Nazi uniforms. The Obama one is like seeing your parents walking around in Nazi uniforms.

  8. I’d like to see an analysis and comparison of the propaganda posters of the USSR or the 3rd Reich with the propaganda coming out of the White House. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were quite similar.

  9. This should be an example to everyone. The Libs started this whole Nazi thing, talking about how president Bush and Rove and Cheney were all Nazi’s and how they were going to take over everything with their Crazy Christian Agenda and put all Libtards in reeducation camps (those Kwazy Kos Kiddies were the most vociferous). Now we on the right are using plays right out of the Demon hand book.

    See the main difference between us and them is we learn faster and then improve on what we learn and that we use the truth instead of lies. Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander.

    Aint life grand sometimes here in amongst the hoy poli.

  10. I kinda get the feeling the Dems are hoping for a “Nazi overload” on both sides, to build up complacency, and eventually introduce it as chic to the young later on. If the Dems ever become the underdogs again (2010, 2012), imagine what they’ll try to gain power again.

  11. I think the resemblance, even if unintended, is amazing. Also amazing is all those strange posters showing Obama’s head with red colors that make it look like old communist propaganda pictures of Lenin. I see those everywhere. What’s up with that?

    For people who claim to want change, they sure are digging up a lot of old imagery.

  12. Do you know how many emblems use birds and circles. The Obama sign isn’t even a bird its a caduceus.We just had a president responsible for the deaths of over a million people and Obama is the Nazi. Bunch of Damn dummies on both Republicans and Democrat side, you both lose the argument. Damn quit being so divisive and hateful, this world needs progress.

    YOU LOSE Good day sir!- Willy Wonka

  13. You know, “YPAS” brings up a good point. How come Obama is being so devisive and hateful? He was supposed to be the uniter.

    On a side note, did you know if you go to the Obamacare website hosted by the DNC there is a big button you can push that is labled “LOGIN TO MyBO.”

    Ha!

  14. The sixth point is the all seeing eye of the pyramid. It points the way to the national treasure of golden candy bars. Speaking of which that O symbol is staring to look like a creepy eyeball staring at me. Watching, waiting… braaaiiiinnnnnnssssss…. those are zombie ghosts I know it.

    You can quote Willy Wonka all you like, but please for the love of God do not bring out those 6″-nail-thru-the-skull-annoying Oompa Loompas. I hate hate hate that movie. Please.

  15. “Yea and you can connect the letters M A S O N on the dollar bill and get the Star of David (im serious.) Damn Dummies what are you going to about it and what does even mean to you.”
    Doesn’t even know how to be a good troll

  16. I know it’s not teh funny, but it is true:

    I am always amazed by the inherent blindness of the Main Stream Media. When Republicans are in office the Liberal left wing zealots are out in droves participating in First Amendment exercises and we are all supposed to applaud. Our leaders are maligned, insulted and defamed but it’s all covered in the First Amendment. Right?

    Groups like ACORN, Black Panthers, PETA, MOveon.org, Media Matters for America, People for the American Way, Code Pink, the ACLU and the Democratic party have if not actively encouraged civil disobedience have turned a blind eye to rude, crude, crass,nasty, vile behavior and language. Does the title “Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot” ring any bells? Was there a companion book “Rush May be Fat but He Can Lose Weight, Al’s Ugly Inside and Out and That Will NEVER Change”. Of course not. On the right we are interested in policies not personalities but we do now understand that this is the brave new world brought to us by the left.

    We are now just taking pages out of the Liberal playbook. Why then is there so much agnst about the new way to debate. It’s all covered under the First Amendment, right? How is the chope and hange working for the country? In my state it’s not playing well at all. People are afraid of their government and that makes them angry. I think the left was right, this president is going to unite the country, just not in the way they thought. If I were them I’d be scared too.

    Oh and by the way, some people are saying racism is alive and well which is correct. This administration has made race a focal point, and we all know who need not apply. It can not be denied, race trumps any experience, education or talent, just look at who’s been appointed and who’s been fired. Anyone not signing on to every facet is told to look for a new career.

    The republic is dead, long live the King.

  17. If the dipsh*ts in charge would spend a little less time coming up with propaganda symbols ,and a little more time actually working on the problems facing this nation maybe something would get done.

  18. I think it is a nice logo….

    But when I looked again and realized the color background was really the outline of ghosts or zombies or whatever, a picture drifted into my imagination:

    The short lady from Poltergeist with the creepy voice saying “Cross Over Children….. Go to the Light!”

  19. Experts say a sharp growth in so-called militia groups that helped spawn a wave of domestic terrorism in the 1990s – and are now using YouTube, rock music and the Internet to recruit members and spread hate and fear – shouldn’t be ignored.

    Yeah, because no one’s more Republican than rock stars.

    Now, there does happen to be a fair amount of white supremacist rock music on YouTube, but to tie that to conservatives requires that you pre-assume that conservatives are Nazis, which is what you were trying to prove in the first place. QED.

    psst… I hear conservatives are also using those damn hula hoops to recruit members.

  20. I dunno why, but whenever I see that Obama’s logo my evil-mongering anti-zombie horde survival skills kick into high gear and I get the urge to buy a flame thrower just in case of a zombie attack or an invasion of the undead from Canada. All those crazed zombie victims of socialized Canadian medicine are shambling farther and farther down the map. We haven’t seen them yet here in South Dakota, but from the logo, it looks like North Dakota is compromised.

    I pray for the president every day because it looks like the zombies are gaining on him.

  21. Lily, you’re right….ND is already compromised….you’ll find as many Manitoba license plates in our clinic/hospital parking lots as you will North Dakota or Minnesota (license plates). People just wanna get well….they know where that has a good chance of happening!

  22. hmmm can’t remember any rock music like this happy little ‘song’ :

    Kill the white people; we gonna make them hurt; kill the white
    people; but buy my record first; ha, ha, ha”; “Kill d’White People”;
    –Apache, Apache Ain’t Shit, 1993, Tommy Boy Music, Time Warner, USA.

    or this:

    “socialists in the church say: kill whitey all night long. .
    . the white man is the devil. . . . the CRIPS and Bloods are
    soldiers I’m recruiting with no dispute; drive-by shooting on this
    white genetic mutant. . . . let’s go and kill some rednecks. . . .
    Menace Clan ain’t afraid. . . . I got the .380; the homies think I’m
    crazy because I shot a white baby; I said; I said; I said: kill
    whitey all night long. . . . a socialist dumping on your white ass; fuck
    this rap shit, socialist, I’m gonna blast. . . . I beat a white boy to
    the motherfucking ground”; “Kill Whitey”;
    –Menace Clan, Da Hood,
    1995, Rap-A-Lot Records, Noo Trybe Records

    etc etc

  23. Basil, you have a gift for identifying dumbassery.

    I don’t see why it ties a knot in liberal’s shorts to have Obama’s plans to Socialize things on a National level compared to National Socialism.

    I also don’t see why liberals think Nazi’s, Facists and Communists are on the right side of the political spectrum with their government controls and programs, when it is the left that wants to regulate everything and have a program for everything.

  24. Basil,
    Oh I see now! I thought you and Rush were only concerned about the logo (since that’s all the quote above refrences).
    You’re right! Obama is just like Hitler, and I feel like I’m living in Nazi Germany right now! Heil Obama!
    Geeze

    [All I’m saying is that the whole idea of centering everything around a symbol like that gives me a very bad feeling. I see you are comfortable with it.

    Let me guess: You’d follow Obama and the Democrats into the jaws of hell. It looks like you’re getting your chance. – B]

  25. Can somebody photoshop the ‘O’ logo over the ‘One Ring’ or ‘Eye of Sauron’ from LOTR? Perhaps the scene where the ring melts and the tower of Barackdur comes crashing down? (It’s a lot to ask, I know. People with such excellent skilz probably also have busy lives.)
