What in the H@@! are the people at these Tea Parties thinking? This picture is way over the top and does nothing but bring pain to those who experinced Dachau. Is nothing off limits? If I owned a printing company I would refused to print this sign.

First, on one of the other signs, I wonder where the outcry was when Newt was quoting Mao?  Or when Bush referenced Mao in 1995? 

Secondly, Hitler was a big believer in tradition, early marriage, traditional family structure and trying to stomp out the encroaching immorality in literature, film and media.  Who *does* that sound like?

The point is,  anyone referencing Hitler can find something they believe links to an entire group of people and the irony of that is indeed stomach-turning.

I'm trying very hard not to paint everyone at the Tea Party with the same brush. I'm trying to remind myself that if someone in the crowd asked those holding that sign to take it down, that person could very easily be ignored. I'm trying to remind myself that Freedom of Speech includes offensive horrible speech like this sign.

And yet, all I can think is: WHY didn't any of the organizers, or Rep. Bachmann, Rep. King, Rep. Akin, etc...why did none of THEM ask/tell those holding this sign to take it down?? Why is it that our President did not allow booing of his opponent, but our Reps are not even commenting on something as offensive as this sign?
