In a radio interview in 2001, Barack Obama likened the United States to Nazi Germany. The shocking statement was made in the same interview in which he lamented the "great tragedy" that the courts could not spread wealth through "redistributive change."
The web site Little Green Footballs broke the scoop that Obama compares the "doctrines of Nazism... to what we have going on, back here at home." The remark came during a discussion of the United States at the time of Brown vs. The Board of Education.
Obama said, "...just to take a, sort of a realist perspective…there's a lot of change going on outside of the Court, um, that, that judges essentially have to take judicial notice of. I mean you've got World War II, you've got uh, uh, uh, the doctrines of Nazism, that, that we are fighting against, that start looking uncomfortably similar to what we have going on, back here at home."
That is stunning. It really is.
Listen to what Obama says!
Obama is not a centrist. He's not a moderate. He talks the talk of a radical Leftist and a Leftist academic elite.
Doctrines of Nazism? Is this really what he thinks of America?
We know what Obama really thinks about hard-working Americans, the spine of this nation -- BITTER CLINGERS.
In his infomercial tonight, will Obama discuss doctrines of Nazism in America? Will he refer to Americans as bitter and clinging to their guns and Bibles?
Geller makes an excellent point:
Senator Obama did not offer his critique of Nazism in July, when he spoke in Berlin to 200,000 cheering Germans in front of Hitler's Victory Column. Instead, he criticized America for actions that "have not lived up to our best intentions."
That's absolutely right.
Don't expect to hear Barack "citizen of the world" Obama diss America when he makes his appeal tonight.
Don't be fooled by a slick presentation and slick talk.

Don't be fooled by inflammatory rhetoric from the right, either. Obama made his comments in the context of an academic discussion of civil rights and the Constitution. He was saying that there were some doctrines, i.e. racism, in the United States -- saying that one class of people is inherently lesser than another class of people -- that were similar to the doctrines of Nazism. Who could really argue that there was an "uncomfortable" similarity between these two ideas? He was talking about ideas that most Americans now disavow but that were very prevalent in the timeframe he was talking about. Listen to the audio for yourself. It's available here. The exact quote comes at about 15:30 if you can't stand to listen to the whole thing.
I've heard the interview.
I'm not taking Obama's words out of context.
The doctrines of Nazism in America? Come on.
That's extreme.
The onus is on Obama to personally clarify his remarks.
