Dude get a sense of humor. If u took that as a literal comment you need to step away from the computer.

Tazzy the point was it wasn't them making the comment it was the war with TK that dumped their career. Their comment overseas was the end of the line for them. And their war with TK escalated after that.

But I am sure you know the story and no one else does.

Kinda like saying you saw swastika's at their meeting ... but you aren't calling them Nazis.

Kinda like they were carrying swats at the meetings. Was she supposed to say they were carrying flowers instead?

I dont like the woman, never have. But gesh, she called it as she saw it. The didnt defame anyone. They were carrying them.

So, you are saying that this sign:

Is the same thing as this sign?

Q: Do you think there's legitimate grassroots opposition going on here?

A: I think they are Asroturf ... you be the judge. They're carring swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare.

Not gonna take that next step of accepting that Pelosi meant a certain thing, huh?  [:D]

So ... why would she say something that associated swastikas with people opposing Obamacare?  What was her purpose in bringing them into the discussion?

If you read the question, her response doesn't even make sense, unless you believe that she is saying that Nazi's are funding and supporting the entire opposition, or that Republican organizations (which hold swastikas dear, of course) are funding them as part of an Astroturf movement.

Q: Do you think there's legitimate grassroots opposition going on here?

A: I think they are Asroturf ... you be the judge. They're carring swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare.

So, again, what do you think that her purpose was in talking about them?  What associations were going through her mind, or what associations do you believe she wanted to go through the listeners' minds?

facepalm

also what Firm said above.

I can't believe you really can't see a difference between a swastika and an anti-swastika.

Going further, swastikas, as well as pictures of Obama's face next to Adolf Hitler's, have appeared on signs at dozens of rallies blasting the president and the Democrat-controlled Congress.

"Hank Williams Jr. paying for Hitler-Obama comment"

Hank Williams Jr.’s political opinions meant a whole lot of “Monday Night Football” fans would not be ready to hear “Are You Ready For Some Football?” before the Indianapolis-Tampa Bay game this week. The Williams Jr. staple that has opened up “Monday Night Football” for ages was pulled by ESPN because of Williams’ remarks on Fox that morning.

According to an Associated Press report on foxnews.com, Williams was speaking about President Barack Obama’s golf game with House Speaker John Boehner on "Fox & Friends," and said, "It'd be like Hitler playing golf with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."

Williams clarified by saying he meant Obama and Vive-President Joe Biden were the enemy. Gretchen Carlson said, "You used the name of one of the most hated people in all of the world to describe the president." Williams answered, "That is true. But I'm telling you like it is."

Hmm, does this mean that Nancy Pelosi should then lose her job because she called the people opposed to Obamacare "nazis"?

Firm

That's different. She's a democrat and therefor gets a pass.
