[Vision2020] Achtung!

[No Weatherman]

Paul:

Easy big fella. I linked to a blog site hosted by a respected
conservative think tank.

I did not invent the hand salute, it is the product of a So Cal ad
agency (if you need the link I'll look it up). They introduced it in
August, before the DNC, intending to fill Mile Hi Stadium with
saluting acolytes.

The salute is a historical fact of Obama's campaign. The Nazi salute
(which I have never seen and I know a lot about the Third Reich) is a
historical fact. The similarity between the two salutes is almost
identical.

I was careful to link Obama NOT to the Nazis but to the cult of
personality, which is an established discipline in political science.

Historically, however, personality cults have been limited to
authoritarian regimes and not democratic societies.

I think it's as interesting as Obama's rainbow connection to The
Weathermen's symbol and like the rainbow, you cannot deny the creepy
similarity.
