Congressman Randy Weber was accused of this, but that is a misleading headline. Actually, if you want a real comparison, all you have to do is watch Obama. His behavior is really more like Hitler than you are trained and propagandized to think.
One of the first things Obama did as the nominee was to give an outdoor speech at night. This is something Hitler liked to do, because he felt that it made them more pliable to his will. I noticed this right off, but there were a lot of people who thought such comparisons were over the top. Evidently, they still seem to think so.
Actually, this business about putting the tribe ahead of truth is what distinguished Hitler from Western tradition of the Enlightenment. Hitler was a very false man. I would submit that Obama is a lot like him. But you'll never get that kind of insight from our media which slavishly follows him like he's some sort of god.
Perhaps our greatest weakness right now is our inability to see the truth. It is little wonder because whatever truth there is cannot break through the tribal loyalties. People are dividing up into hostile camps. Nobody seems to want to listen. Could it be because the truth is being trumped by the tribes? Who's responsible for this if it isn't Obama and the Democrats?
But the GOP isn't innocent either. Limbaugh likes to say that he's in a relentless search for the truth. No he isn't. He will definitely not put anything out there that is harmful to his interests. But what about truth? Limbaugh likes to say how often he is right. Could he ever admit error? Limbaugh is unswervingly loyal to the tribe, just like the Democrats. What real difference then is there between them?
Limbaugh likes to advise us to have the courage to face the truth. Good advice, but hardly followed. He could consider trying it himself.
