Fiasco Outside of RCC

It might be somewhat hard to blog about this with a bipartisan hat on, but I'll give it my best shot. I did a radio show today and read over air that talk radio and television host Glenn Beck said that President Obama treats Fox News the way that Hitler treated Jews in the Holocaust. What I said on-air was that I felt that this statement was very unfair because Mr. Beck is comparing a non-violent communication issue to a sad point in history when a man and his followers murdered, harassed, tortured, etc. millions of people. Though I didn't say this on-air, I personally found the statement insensitive to victims of the Holocaust and their families.

What I did say on air was that I don't think people should compare other people to Hitler as well unless they are actually guilty of a legitimate Holocaust. I specifically named former-President Bush and how I felt he shouldn't be compared to Hitler either. Coincidentally, when the show ended I walked out and saw something interesting out the window. On one side of the building, there was a van with people near it handing out fliers and holding a giant poster of President Obama with a Hitler moustache. At the bottom of the poster read, "I've changed". They may have been BSC students, but I didn't recognize them. On the other side of the building, there were some familiar students with a "Support Obama" poster. The "O" in Obama was drawn a peace symbol.

I could tell there was some screaming going back and forth, but I couldn't hear any of it. A police officer soon came by and said something to both sides. After that, I noticed the "Big Obama Hitler Moustache Poster" was loaded into the van and there was only a "Small Obama Hitler Moustache Poster". There were a few more fliers handed out, a few more people added to the Pro-Obama group, and few more curses I couldn't hear go back and forth. Then the van started getting packed, and there was cheer by the pro-Obama group. The Pro-Obama group stayed a bit longer, yet, they did leave within ten minutes after the "Obama has a Hitler Moustache group" took off.

Are you offended by Hitler Comparisons?
